One thing is pretty obvious to me, do we all think ATi is gonna sit tight doing nothing with their d!ck hanging while nVidia running circle around them with 55nm parts of GT200 mArch ? ATi can see it coming from miles away, that their performance crown, which is a strong HALO beacon after R600 debacle, will be gone with GT200b, will they be thrifty & stupid enough not to create/develop a worthy competitor for these nVida new aces ? After all the financial success and efficiency of their RV770 mArch ? But well, if they do have something in their sleeves, a new ace generation with 40 nm node coming SOON -early Q2 2009 soon, perhaps they will swallow this loss and compete solely on price for the next few months.
