GTX275 was also a response to what AMD/ATI did - the 4890.
having a good performance per dollar is not opening a can of whoop ass and using prices of cards from over a year ago is completely inane. it is also important to note that 4890 is ati's single gpu flagship card while the 275 is a crippled 285.
