Or because ATI has a bundle deal with Valve.
no surprise really.
With the 6800 beeing a bit better at doom3 because of the mixed precision path the card is using, while the x800 can only do it in full precision, alot of people have been getting a wrong picture of what both cards can actually do when using the same path.
For DX9 games itsobvious that the r97/98/x800 series will seriously outperform their Nv counterparts

I'll wait to see the benchmarks, im not upgrading my PC yet since doom3 doesnt have me excited one bit, so im waiting for Tribes Vengeance, Half life 2 and Vampire the masquerade.
HL2 and Vampire the masquerade are two of my most anticipated games on PC, especially the later, after watching 30 mins of its ~650MB video, the way it reminds me of deus ex, got me all hyped up.
I find it hard that there's a 30% difference though, ATI probably pulled something ala nvidia's "the way its meant to be played", aka biasing the devs to make the game run better on hardware X over hardware Y. But we'll see..
