Who knows, I have heard it will be selling for a bit less... but again it's all too early. Anyway, I have about 600 stashed in an envelope just for my next GPU purchase. If I can't afford the top end model, I'll go with the gts version.
oh yeah just like when the 8800 Ultra came out it sold for less then MSRP right? Oh wait...it was 900 dollars...thats right...
If its the most powerful GPU on the market ( which it will be since ATI competition is pathetic ) then it definately will sell for a premium everywhere
