You may know what Nvidia is releasing but you have no idea what AMD will compete with. You make it sound like AMD NEEDS more ROPs.
HD4870x2 may or may not be able to compete with GT200 but it should be a very interesting product and I have a feeling it might surprise some people.
An interesting point is that 8800GT and 9800GTX only have 16 ROPs, although they have 3-4x the texture units (56 to 64 vs ATI's 16). I think that 16 ROPs are sufficient. The main problem is the lack of texture units.
