RV770 is not (and was never meant to be) a threat to the GTX 200 series, but to the current G92/G92b, so that's where i think Nvidia will aim their guns at next.
And G92 will be more than one year old come November, isn't that convenient ?
G92b isn't current is it?

Looks like Charlie is using the GT200b as his saviour for bashing the GT200 so bad.
The GT200b is being fast tracked. It will be here ASAP (3 months) barring bad luck.
Any idea how soon? Same week as RV770? Will it be a "silent" launch, replacing G92 without any fuss?Ok, near current. How's that ?

G92b will likely last at least as long as G92, possibly longer.
Charlie has posted a number of benchmarks.

doesnt look like its gonna be faster than 2 8800 GTX in SLI. nvidia fails again.
Could you qualify their failure?doesnt look like its gonna be faster than 2 8800 GTX in SLI. nvidia fails again.
Why ? Did they "fail" recently ?
Can't you also do SLI with two or three GTX 280's as well ?
Could you qualify their failure?
Well I'm just throwing this out there (doesn't mean I agree with it), some have considered the 8800 Ultra a failure/disappointment.
I did a rough average through excel of the performance increases between the two cards, normalizing data by eliminating the two best and the two worse variations.
The result: GTX280 vs 9800GTX OC -> +55.06%.
