    If a miracle happens and ATI magically sets the prices above, then Nvidia will do big time price cutting, which is also good.
    I don't understand ... the 6870 -6850 are in the new serie 6K the same line of the 5770 was for the old.... why will you they have the price of the top range ? they are designed for compet with the GTX460 .. with performance higher of the 5850... but it's a new series ... if 6870-6850 have performance of the old 5850-5870 and so the same price, what will happend with 6950-6970-6990? they will sell the 6970 @ 700 dollars and the 6990 @ 1200 dollars ?

    Price are fixed by the place got thoses cards in term of performance on the series + competition prices .. They are not based on perf vs old series... or we had pay 2x more for top gpu's with all new series... gpu's will cost 3000dollars so ...

    6870 = middle class gpu's = ~ 5770 prices ... (official launch price, not the price you find right now in shop ... here you can find shop who sell 5770 @165CHF (short stock), this make 170dollars )
    6970 = Enthusiast, high class gpu = ~ 5870 prices..
