The high end cards drive the low end market. ATI and Nvidia duke it out for ratings at the top end to create the buzz which drives people to (perhaps incorrectly) project the performance of these top-of-the-line parts onto the more reasonable and budget offering from the companies.

Also the folks who shell out for these kinds of parts will be sure to tell all their friends how great their respective graphics chip company's kit is. You don't usually drop a G on hardware and then tell everyone how bad it is.

It's all just a game...
