My apologies if this had already been posted: some Vantage scores for a 3-way SLI GTX280 system over at VR-Zone. With the QX9650 CPU overclocked to 4GHz they got a Performance score of P21350.
(One wonders what they were using as a power supply for that lot
).

and i am dead wrong; i said $650 for the GTX280's top card
.. but i am SO happy to be wrong that nvidia may be responding to our weak economy [and also to AMD]; a good move! [imo]
SLi becomes affordable if so:

And it looks like I'm (vaguely) right on the pricing!

Because $1000 is so much less than $1300...
Either way, if Tchock is right, it's still at $1300.
i thought so. i ripped the images from HardOCP
- they were posted also without comment
i didn't see this posted yet either:

not related .. 48xx delayed a few days
i hope this has also not been posted yet; i am a day or so without posting here and hope i am caught up
But GTX260 SLI will be $800, and could well drop to $700 before long (according to some predictions). That's a long way below $1300.
I kinda more expect prices to raise very quickly rather than fall off. They're more than likely going to announce at a more reasonable price, keep that price around for a week or so (although it'll stay as the official MSRP) and then pull the same argument they do every time, claiming that supply is limited so you have to pay 100-200$ more than the MSRP.
This is 300% speculative minimum, but I suspect part of the reason is the shipping method. Often hard launches are made possible by using more expensive shipping, but given the price pressure from RV770 I don't think either they or their partners can afford that this time around for the GTX 260. Plus, a price premium charged for that time advantage (as in the 8800GT's case) could become very negative publicity in this competitive context.
Because AMD is soft-launching 4870?
I tried to post a scanned copy of the new PC Gamer review of the GTX 280 1gb card, so here are some of their benchmarks:
3dmark06/vantage= 16650/10639
crysis, 1600/2560= 34fps/15fps
HL2: ep1, 1600/2560= 219fps/122fps
company of heroes, 1600/2560= 58fps/42fps
world in conflict, 1600/2560= 52fps/33fps

yes g200 was added to gpu-z long ago.
Indeed
