The GT300/Fermi Thread - Part 2!

[LordEC911]

rumor goes around:
199euro for GTX 470
299euro for GTX 480

That isn't MSRP...

It's already been confirmed that the die size is somewhere between the 65nm GT200 and the 55nm GT200b.

And by between you mean within a few mm2 of G200?

You see that $599-monster came back from the death just because nVidia "jumped over" the GPU that should compete with it. If you remember, ATi had announced $499 for 5970 to start with, But the lack of competition not only brought back that $600-monster from the death, but also ended up selling for over $700 too.

So where did AMD/ATi say anything about a $499 5970?
Oh, that's right they never did.
