There's a point where a high enough price will curb off demand and I think at that point, it is reached and passed. Dual cards can sell for that much because ultra enthusiast will pay more for dual cards. And even then, 800 is alot of money to spend and we haven't reached that point yet unless we count the ultra limited editions.

If GK110 was 800 dollars not only would the card not sell well, there would be no way even with that high a price that the Gk104 could be priced at $550. The only way GK104 can be priced so high is because it is the fastest thing from Nvidia. No way a midrange gtx 660(naming means alot) could be priced liked that.

Volume is the key. And releasing a half assed gk110(not fully mature) with terrible yields are hardly going to do anything with their profits. And would hurt the price the gk104 could be sold at
That's what I was trying to say. All these stupid conspiracies about GK110 not being released because AMD isn't competing is stupid. If GK110 isn't ready, it isn't ready - hence why we have a GTX 680 first at $550. And for all we know, GK110 isn't close to being ready and may not be til the end of the year.

All the talk about Nvidia makes it sound like Nvidia can't adopt a similar strategy to AMD and go with getting a mid-range out first, especially on a new process, especially after learning from Fermi and past history
