...Radeon HD38x0, aka RV670XT, might be selling for as low as €199 or a few dollars more, which will certainly spell trouble for Nvidia...

This could mean that a similar performer to the 8800GT comes in at a lower price for those of us those do not have a "love" for certain brands

...8800 GT 256MB will have the same clocks, just less memory and obviously, in most cases, will be just as fast as the 8800 GT 512MB...

With a 256Mb 8800GT comming in the $179 - $199 Price range that is basicaly the same as the 8600GTS

i hope ati comes out with something thats cheaper than 8800gt would mean nvidia must drop their pricing 2

Umm thats a good thing, its all about competition. If you have the best product then you sell the most of that product.
Or would you rather use the inferiour product for a similar price?

well considering nvidia are on top, they not charging an awful lot for their cards

Well from what I red the HD3000 will be about 10 - 20% less in peformance, depending on the model, heck thats like a deal if they are cheaper!!

I dunno hey, I have always had nvidia.
Its kinda like changing from AMD to Intel tho i recon.
I used to be AMD only but my next pc will prolly be a quad intel so mebe its worth looking at the ATI?

You know that AMD makes ATI right?
So more like, Intel to AMD then for you GPU,
and AMD to Intel for you CPU.

Well they recently bought ATI, the CPU guys aren't making GPU's now. Still most of the same people at ATI.
