GTX 560 Coming soon!

I can sort of see what Sam is getting at in a sense that AMD, if they lower the price of their cards low enough, the sales of the 2gb versions of their cards are going to plummet depending how well the gtx 560ti performs and how they price their 1gb cards. If the gtx 560 is priced around 199-229, AMD whose cards are usually priced better, will have to price their 6950 at $229. At that price, I can see it being a tough sale of AMD's 2gb cards unless AMD lower the price. I personally would rather have 2 6950 1gb at 229 each than 1 6970 2gb at 369. 90 bucks more for that much more performance will be totally worth it.

This next set of 1gb cards from AMD and NV is going to make setting a gtx 580, Antilles and 6970 2gb a tough sell. The market is just so hyper competitive now and the value is just too good at the under 250 market.

There is a small market of people that can take advantage of 2gb cards, but it is a seriously small market(a percent of a percent), I think someone had stats where basically it was somewhere around 0.12% or 0.0012 of the market use 30" monitors and eyefinity can't be that much better.

It won't make the 2gb obsolete, however, 1gb cards will for most however be the better value and sales of the 2gb are going to plummet unless AMD does a price drop.

Yes it will effects sales but that happens in all segments for the most part anyway & has always been the case so that's nothing new.

NV don't even need to be around to effect the sales of the 2GB versions as just the release of a 1GB version will have effects on sales of 2GB version & any product that has more than one type will have an effect on the other.

If the 1GB was only available then everyone would buy it but as soon as a 2GB version comes it it will have some effect on the sales of the 1GB version, far less effect but still.

I seen allot of people jump from 4xxx 512MB cards to 4xxx 1GB cards when the 4xxx 1GB came out.
