According to that article it's tentatively being priced at $349. If it was ~$300 it'd be a much better prospect in my book. Tomorrow both my 7800GT's are going to new homes so if it arrives in stores shortly and the reviews are good i'd consider it as a replacement.
While I agree a MSRP of $350 isnt that great, considering the street price of the X1800's. However, cards usually drop under MSRP rather fast. If its about the same price of the X1800XT, it wouldnt be a bad card. Single slot, and probaby quieter.
I already have 2 X1800XT's but due to me passing on my 7800GT's tomorrow I will be looking at X1900GT's & 7900GT's to replace them.
I do like the look of the cooler on the X1900GT but i'll be putting Water in anyway, I have a spare CF Motherboard and will re-use my A64 3500+. I am going to move 1 X1800XT across to this machine for a month to see how reviews fare on the X1900GT before plumping my cash on any replacements.
Yes Joker, after tomorrow i'll not have a nVidia card to play with (besides an old GF3 Ti-500).

I don't think they'll go further than X1900XT/XTX's to be honest. Still, i'm not going to vmod (not even software) at all so it wouldn't matter to me. Be interesting to see how they o/c with vmods tho.
