I brought my GTX at launch so it's been worth it to me. I waited for the R600 with my GTX. the 8 series has had drivers issue, but now there's SLI support fully working under Linux. Have you seen the current state of the ATI drivers under Linux? The GTX has gone through speed improvements under windows and a lot of bugs fixes and I'm not willing to go through that again with the R600 when they've had penty of time to fix any driver problems. I expected a lot more from AMD/ATI. the thing I'm most disappointed in is the power consumption: is uses more than a GTX so it should be at the same level as the GTX and not the GTS.
edit: my hope for AMD now is that they can get crossfire to work in any dual 16x slot board.
