Actually, ATI being due for a refresh is a perfectly good reason for nvidia to keep performance numbers a secret.
As soon as we know how Fermi will perform, ATI will have something to set their sights on and will put their refresh cards out as soon as possible.
The longer nvidia keeps ATI in the dark, the less time ATI will have to match or beat their performance.
