If that is true, I don't think they'll stand any chance, not even to the 260.

I predict that once again nVidia is going to rule AMD for 2008. I don't care what anyone says about price performance ratio, it's not about that, it's about maximum performance.
The RV770XT is paired with GDDR5 thus has comparable BW to GT200... 512bit external bus would greatly increase cost(both for the manufacturer and consequently consumer) due to PCB complexity. 512bit + GDDR5 = overkill; that would hurt sales and margins.

Good comparison...
Wow... So only $300 for the RV770XT, have any proof to back those claims? I thought it's MSRP was $349 which thanks to etailers price gouging is always more than that...

HAHA, love the cheap shot. I think you might be taking this a little to personal...

While a smart move for the budget limited, that's about as extreme as watching paint dry.
