I'm no good at bussiness but do you ever get the feeling that nVidia or ATI is just playing with their customers. Meaning: they already have a graphic card that is couple of hundred times faster than 8800GTX but they won't release becasue they want make more money. I believe what they do is, release a slower card so people will think that's the fastest card and will buy it. then couple months or a year later they release a faster version (8900GTX) of that card but when they release that, they already have the next fastest GPU (9900GTX) but they won't release it cus they want to make some money off of the 8900GTX. Same goes for CPUs. I think it's true any opinions?
 
Maybe not ATI but nVidia. when ever ATI answers the call, nVidia brings the news of a 3 to 4 times faster graphic card than their previous one. it's been like this for the past 2 years. Think about it. It started with the 7800 GTX. they came to the top with that card and never went down.


1) ATI comes up with x1800xtx
2) nvidia came up with 7800GTX (Kills ATI)
3) ATI comes with x1900XTX
4) vidia 7900GTX
5) ATI x1950XTX
6) Nvidia X2 7950 + 8800GTX
7) HD 2900
8) News for 8900GTX
9) ATI answers that with something
10) nvidia releases the card they are holding which is the fastest and figures out a new architecture for even better GPU
11) nvidia waits for ATI to answers and then releases slowest version of new architectured GPU.
12) plays the upgrading to faster GPU game while works on another the new architecture.
and so on....

If i'm right with the prediction all you should give me $100 each.
 
i get annoyed with all of the names at the end like XT,Se,LE,gts,gtx,pro,gs gah it annoys the crap out of me.
