Just my take on the Fermi.
It's an impressive architecture, however I think they are less interesting for myself as a gamer.
Perhaps if I was using my computer for GPGPU'ing I'd consider buying it.
I've been buying nvidia card for a long time. My first nvidia card was the Riva TNT a long while ago. Only bought 2 non nvidia card since then, the R300 and now the Radeon 5870.
However, I think I prefer ATI's new design, a little smaller chip, cheaper to make and should draw less power
