The difference between radeon's and firegl's is entirely in the software, the core logic, gpu's the lot are identical. The quality of the components used do tend to be higher and more validated. But the large cost increase is because they can charge that much and get away with it.

Alot of ati card's can be 'softmodded' to run on firegl drivers and they recieve the special driver functions that go with it.
