True or not, this is very unfortunate. This could mean further delays and higher prices by ATi ( They deserve it though. 4800 series was great, and they continued that with its successor ). ATi themselves said the days of $600+ graphics cards are over, so don't think the 5870x2 will be anything over that. It will most likely be the same price as the 4870x2 was at launch ( $549 ).

Let's hope Nvidia doesn't delay any further. Price wars benefit us the consumer so you'd be foolish to even think this is a good thing.
