Well i was watching a vid from cebit and the guy representing Nvidia had this wierd, cocky, very confident smile/chuckle when the interviewer ask how fast this card was. I doubt he would be that confident about the GX2 if it wasnt a dam good card.
i agree with deathawk, nvidia wouldnt release a 700$ card if it wasnt worth it. The fact that this price is so high makes me happy, because it probably means it will smoke the 3870x2.
Think of it this way, you make a product slighty better then your competition, what would your selling price be? a couple bucks more then the competition so when someone ask " what should i get?" ex 3870 vs 8800GT, people will respond, "Get the 8800gt, its only a couple bucks more and its faster"
If you have a product that abosolutly crushes your competitor, heck, you could sell it for whatever price you wanted and people would flock to it because its the best...
