At this moment, i'm affraid ATI's too financially constrained to make an anticipating move regarding nVidia GT200b cards, and all that they can do is just competing through price adjustment -if nVidia plays hardball and agressive in holding/reclaiming their current/lost market share. It's a shame though, since i do believe the RV770 mArch is quite efficient (in terms of die size vs performance) and expandable, relatively compared to nVidia's competing product.
