    That's because nobody can buy a high end AMD card, all the miners kept buying them at inflated prices.

      you can buy them, just 20-30% over retail price. If you are a gaming Nvidia cards are just as good if not better (due to better drivers) then AMD cards.

      I'm mining on a pair of GTX670s

      Though I actually bought them for stereoscopic gaming. cudaminer is the tool, though the cost/Khash for nVidia cards is a fair bit higher than for ATi/AMD they use less power to do the same work.
