There hasn't been a price war in graphics over the last
12 months: AMD has kept its prices very stable. They've
taken market share by having better products - DX11,
Eyefinity, quiet, low power, good price-performance -
not by cutting prices.

Now if there *were* a price war, it's true enough that
the lower cost of Evergreen vs Fermi derivatives would
handicap NVidia. But that's not what's happening yet.
