Good comparison
You hit with three different points. AMD wasn't bad, but not a clear winner.

Obviously if I want video play back over playing games, I need to tell ATI off.

Personally, I see a low end PC needing Video playback far more than gaming performance. If a gamer has any sense of dedication at all, they will get even a cheap $100 dollar card to boost performance to gaming. AMD should consider this, although the budget minded gamer is becoming more mainstream because of the $600 video card.
