It's all about selling hundreds of thousands of chips to OEM's like HP, Dell, Apple....the ones that pay them large bank opposed to the very small, minuscule percentage of....us, the clocker. Tech releases strategically, to hit lease cycles more than anything.
So go with the flow, pound the shit out of what you have and if you're board find something else to help tide you over brother.

Wise words brother.
I still have a gut feeling that enthusiast play a bigger role in margins than they want us to believe. I have no numbers to back this up so I could just be retarded. I have been called that before
I mean nvidia even says that geforce cards are 75% of units sold while quadro is 75% of revenue because of mark up. Us overclockers/non-overclocking enthusiast probably pad the margins much more than they want to let us know.
