It can't possibly be higher than $349, I'd say $299 definitely knowing ATI's pricing history and 40nm cost savings.

If there truly is a shader increase to 1600 and similar clocks, I'd expect the 5870 to more than match the X2 ( given the lack of multi gpu scaling inefficiencies as well as arc improvements ) Given they are getting so cheap now like you've shown, I think they could go as far as charging 400-450 for the 5870. $300 with no competition wouldn't reassure me of its performance.
