Nice 3870 pic. That R700 info can't be right though. $1000 card costs, 350W TDPs. No way.
So, do we know anything about RV670 yet?

To me, that's the believable part...
RV670 is a 132W board. 2 of those, on 55nm is going to be in the region of 250W. Do you expect R700 to be slower than 2xRV670? Do you think 45nm is coming soon enough for R700?
PCI Express 2 is 150W in the slot + each PCI Express 8 connector is 150W...

And a private power plant for additional 13,76 millions $$$...
How can you even think of believing something this ridiculous?

That looks more or less like the HSF X1950XTX used. That should bow well for the noise level.
No.
If you have information to the contrary, I'd like to see it.
I read it from Tomshardware.com while back, but for some reason I could not find that article anymore.
Sorry.Edit:
I started searching the Interntet and I found update information so it might be true that PCIE 2.0 specification is updated to 150W in Slot. (I probably read old article before) Sorry.

I certainly don't expect R700 to be slower than RV670. I do recall specific statements about the R700 generation of products being much more power efficient, however.

Well, considering the slot is spec'd for 150 watts and a 1x8 (2x4) PCIE plug is spec'd for 150 watts. Someone at one or both of the major IHV's is expecting to push 150-300 watts at least. Designs don't generally change so drastically without some expectations of it's being used at some point in the future.
Is it going to be the R700 2, 4, 8, 2348795234 core card? Or maybe some monolithic Nvidia 1 million billion quadrillion transistor core? Who knows. I just know at some point in the next year or two I expect one or both of them to push out a high end card at some ungodly price pushing 300 watts or possibly even more.
Is it going to be a huge seller? Does it matter? In the quest for the ultimate high benchmarks on web reviews "sell ability" doesn't seem to matter one whit. All you need to do is look at the 7800 GTX 512. Reviews were still coming out based on that card even when you could no longer buy it. And proclaiming Nvidia the fastest in the land because of it. Even though...you know, you couldn't buy it except on Ebay.
So yeah, I fully expect ATI or Nvidia to release some monsterously large and impractical card for the sole purpose of proclaiming FPS godhood on review websites. Although with ATI's aparent focus on the mainstream and mainstream performance market, I'm not sure Nvidia will have to do much to claim the fastest ever e-penis crown.

Not if 8800 GT is $250 it won't be. Not unless AMD and their AIBs don't want to sell any cards in that price segment

I said "the new 8800 GTS" (no, i'm not talking about the 112sp leftovers from the G80 core)
We already know how much the 8800 GT will cost ($199 for the 256MB version and $249 for the 512MB one).
Anyone read this yet ?

ATI and Nvidia have done that kind of marketing a long time ago.
Nothing new.
Nvidia has the "Lumenex" engine in the Geforce 8 line, while AMD/ATI has just "Physics processing support" stated in their HD2000 line's feature summary.
