Same here, specs and price are the way to go for me, I'm not going to be a loyal nvidia fan if their cards are not up to scratch. The current ATi line up is very disappointing at the moment. I was tossing between a 7900GT and a X1950 pro a few months back. I opted for the 7900GT purely because it was around the same price as the ATi card and it outperforms it in every aspect. Futhermore, I have generally found that nvidia cards have a better overclocking head room at least as far as the X1950pro and the 7900GT are concerned anyway. I think the reason for that is the core used in the X1950 Pro is the end of the line and the G71 core used in the 7900GT are also used in the 7900GTX models which are clocked 100Mhz higher then their GT younger brother. At the moment I think nvidia is the best video card company to go with.
