Althought this is xtremesystems, ATI releasing the 1800 xt 256 to fight the 7900 gt, is an action by ATI not to fight for the hardcore enthusiest(like the original 7800 gtx 512), it for the mainstream audience that want great performance for the money and would probaly leave the card stock.
If we are going to get into LN2 and Dry Ice, I think we are going for bragging rights at all cost and we are going to go for a gtx or a 1900 xtx or xt. Sure it might be fun to have a ln2 midlevel card, but your not going to get records besides maybe in that category of card.
I think something bad needs to happen to ati so they change their ways. Ati
