About nVidia’s outlook for 2010, do you think the newer Fermi line will be priced around $150-250?
- yes … someday. you will see mid range Fermi probably by Q2-Q3 2010. If Fermi is too good and overthrown Evergreen to the trash, then you wouldn’t get a cheap Fermi anytime soon. It will be overpriced like what you are getting for Evergreen cards now.

…. I do tend to favor nVidia only because of their CUDA support …
- As I mentioned, in my post. If CUDA/GPGPU is your concern, getting nvidia is the better choice as-of-now. if u looking for future proof GPGPU card, get a direct X 11 one instead. DirectCompute is the future for gpgpu as what I see now.

Also, any idea if nVidia will refabricate the upper echelon GTX260/275/etc, in 40nm?
- TSMC 40nm is a troubled manufacturing process. ATI/AMD faces hard time with them, so does nvidia. Some product are good example; 4770 and Evergreen cards. Anyway, TSMC is “optimistic” of improving their 40nm manufacturing process by January.

About nVidia’s outlook for 2010, do you think the newer Fermi line will be priced around $150-250? I’m not exactly top-end enthusiastic, but I do tend to favor nVidia only because of their CUDA support, which I can take advantage of. I was originally going to build a setup with 5750/5770, but even so, I still think the current prices are not justified by the “meh” performance.

Also, any idea if nVidia will refabricate the upper echelon GTX260/275/etc, in 40nm? Or is Fermi basically going to be the only 40nm die for 2010? (The GT240 is too weak for me).

Sorry, the geforce gts 210 and 220 isnt competitive enough when having ATI 4650 and 4670 at low price. about the gts 240, as i mentioned earlier it’s a good card but it faces availability issue. hope u get it clear now.

you have forgotten to mention the budget cards from nvidia like the GTS 210, 220 and the new 240. No offense, but you seem like a big fan of ATI here.
