As we're all aware AMD have had the better technology and hardware implementation in recent years but the problem is as gamers we can only play what the developers have implemented and regardless of whether Nvidia are using dirty tricks or throwing their money around it has meant that Nvidia has edged peformance....
We see things similarly -- particularly what drives a most current customers to consider Nvidia over AMD. So long as Intel and Nvidia greatly outsell AMD, those two will control what gets implemented in games. In some way, its amazing that AMD (being an "outsider" with little way to influence the process) competes as well as it does.
