Reviews are popping up like mushrooms in a rainy autumn. Pick one and see how Ati now can unarguably claim the lead (the GF FX is a tad faster than the 9700pro, with the right drivers). It trounces the FX in just nearly every bench.

Again NVidia becomes the underdog. That's good news in a way, since they never leapt forward in technology as much as when they where a small outsider.
In the mean time ATI is sucking our wallets and provoking divorces with their über-expensive 9800. It seems they price-matched it against the GF FX, which is clearly a mistake.

I want my ultrafast, ti4600-killer, DX9.0 watercooled GPU for less than $300... (in EU)
I'll stick with my GF2 GTS until i find one.
