ATI has filled its product stack from top to bottom so nVidia has its work cut out for itself, filling up its stack to compete with ATI at all price points. To achieve this, nVidia built a scalable architecture that uses GPU clusters so you can drop clusters (four on the GTX 480) to reach a performance and price point. It will be interesting to see how nVidia fills out its DirectX 11 portfolio. All things considered, nVidia stepped up to the plate (albeit rather late) and delivered gaming performance with visual quality. While the cards do not hit stores until the week of April 12, nVidia has assured us of an ample supply of cards available on launch.
