9700Pro availability?

[coffeesmurf]

Do you guys think/know if Ati is going to keep the 9700Pro in their line-up for long with the arrival of the 9600Pro and 9800Pro ?

I ask because I feel the price difference between the 9700Pro and 9800Pro is not worth it for the performance gain, at least for now. Also the 9500s are likely to disappear as soon as the 9600s hit the streets because of the production costs. I?m wondering if the same would apply to the 9700Pro.

thanks

9800 Pro is going for ~$399
9700 Pro is going for ~$299
9600 Pro is going for ~$199

We know that the 9500's are going, going, gone ... but the 9700s look to be around for awhile yet.

ya that is kinda standard though, just like last year it you could spring for a ti4600 if you really wanted one, but a ti4400 could do almost as well and be had a good deal cheaper.
