    So Charlie was right about its performance. No surprise there with his track record.

    As long as the price is close to 5870 range for both the GTX470/480 I'll be happy. We need price drops bad.

    I don't see how can pricedrop happen?! Fermi will nested price/performance like this: 5850-Fermi-5870-Fermi-5970

    So why would price of any of those cards come down? NV for sure doesn't want to start pricewar w/o enough ammo, and AMD definitely doesn't want to chase around with NV when their product will be hard to find anyway?!
    Adobe is working on Flash Player support for 64-bit platforms as part of our ongoing commitment to the cross-platform compatibility of Flash Player. We expect to provide native support for 64-bit platforms in an upcoming release of Flash Player following the release of Flash Player 10.1.

    I agree with this as well. We will have to wait and see what kind of availability is going to be around as well as performance to determine a price war if it's going to happen.

    Well ATi has had no competition for 6 months. They're in a very good position right now to ruin Fermi's launch ( Even though Fermi's launch is already ruined by having less than spectacular performance after 6 grueling months of waiting ). At the performance we've seen and is rumoured, ATi can easily reduce the price of their cards by $50 and call it a year. Doesn't matter if Nvidia prices their cards $100 higher than ATi's equivalent.

    I just don't see anyone but die-hard Nvidia fanboys or those that will utilize GPGPU to buy these cards.
