This card is just to make ATi show their XTX in the first place. That's it's sole purpose. They still have one big launch left this year, likely during the summer.

Of course, ATi still have 1 launch for this year as well, unless it turns out the R650 is the XTX, which really wouldn't surprise me in the slightest. It'd definitely explain why ATi aren't launching it with the XT.
