Because this isn't a mandatory question I'll keep it short.
But basically what I've been seeing lately is Nvidia and ATI are almost just about equal in performance. But I'm so confused as to what is ATI doing wrong that is so ineffective? For example, Most Nvidia cards have a 600/1700MHz clock speed (core/memory) and no more than 128 streaming processors. ATI's competitive cards are more like 800/2000MHz with 240 streaming processors.
This is just an example off the top of my head but its about what things are like right now, so what I want to know is what is ATI doing that makes everything they have significantly slower? Their latest card has 640 streaming pipelines, thats nuts. Yet it just barely compete's with Nvidia's good stuff, and it sure as hell doesn't have over 320.
