Two objections: Prices are not set in stone, with rebates etc. that 1GB version might end-up easily around 249$, if AMD and/or AIBs decide so. Second, after the pcb revision, the 2GB might not unlock anymore. Or it gets quietly EOLed and the 6970 gets it's price lowered a little for consolation. Sounds likely, given the yields of those chips.

But until it happens, we can debate in circles until we fall over. Let's humbly wait and see what happens.
That was too many assumptions and if if .. but ..

No need for circle, you have answered yourself, you just were not aware of it.

The 1GB is aiming to the same market, therefore they have to drop the price to differentiate it, and then they may be able to sell it. As you have answered yourself.

Humble people doesn't trough "Invalid arguments" and "BS" on others, they listen and learn. But I think we agree now, and don't need to continue.
