None of them running in debug mode, both with full optimization.

If ATI can get their drivers in the know, they will eventually take Nvidia.
(also
remember that Nvidia makes the Media chip set in X-Box, while ATI makes
"Flipper", the media chip in Game Cube. And the Game Cube has sold a lot
better then X-box si i think ATI will get some financial power to strike out
Nvidia, But also look out for 3DLabs, Martrox,  Kryo and Sony who may
one day show up with great products (3DLabs will most likely have the first
OpenGL 2.0 card))
