The 260 will be priced at $449 and go up against the ATI 770/4870
costing MUCH less. The 280 will be about 25 per cent faster and quite
likely lose badly to the R700, very badly, but cost more, $600+.

A $150 8800GT plays everything but Crysis pegged right now, and there
isn't much else on the horizon. Whats the point?


How about future games for the 2008-2009 timeframe that use CryEngine
2
id Tech5 (RAGE, DOOM 4), and others. How about being able to
probably run Crysis on a single card at 60fps without SLI ?

How about because Nvidia has not brought out a true upgrade of the G80
since its arrival in fall 2006, almost 2 years ago by the time GT200
launches.
