    SO can you get any special deals on these cards Erock? If I could get one cheap enough Id be interested, otherwise I plan to wait until Kepler hits and see how that is.

    $600 isn't a lot, relatively speaking. I paid $500 for an 8800GTX, and that was a while after they launched.

    While the price may be justifiable based on demand/development and raw materials cost/historical pricing, the fact remains that's a lot of money.

    I agree, but the performance is priced correctly.

    I'm impressed by ATi's initiative his year, I hope nVidia can give us something soon.

    Agree on ati's bravado. Surely nvidia won't stand for this

    Anyone see PowerColor's custom card for this model? Looks pretty beastly. It is supposed to come with a factory overclock of around 25% from stock speed.
