ATI vs. nVidia analogy

This one takes the cake...I'm going to file this one away for a rainy day. In truth, his analogy was spot on...

If you’ve ever been driving along and accidentally ran-over an animal which jumped out in front of you – you’d like to know for sure that it’s dead. If you looked in your rear-view mirror, however, and noticed that it was still limping around like a fish out of water, the only proper thing to do would be to back-up over it a couple of times to ensure that you’ve ended its misery. While this may be an offensive visual to some, it’s one of the better analogies to describe what ATI is doing to NVIDIA this week with the announcement of three new cards, the 9200, 9600 and most notably, the Radeon 9800 Pro.

We would’ve liked to have had one of NVIDIA’s latest products, but apparently they can’t ship a card to save their life, and we keep getting told that they’re “too low on supply†– However, it’s not hard to figure out, based upon other reviews of that card, that NVIDIA really has a long, belabored, uphill battle on its hands that doesn’t look to be won anytime soon. It’s as if they started making a snowball by rolling it uphill; just when they thought they were at the top of the hill ATI swooped by and dumped hot coals on them to melt away any efforts they put into it.
