I don't think you guys caught the drift. I put that down with a pinch of salt..... What going to happen in effect is - green's launch is going to push red's sales even higher, for sure, without a doubt.
I remember when I bought a 1950XTX years back for 21k.......man, was ATI taking a beating from the 7 series back then!
Take a look now....It has screwed nV on almost all levels. From the top end cards, right down to the 2500-ish cards....Red on fire, he he.
