I heard that the 512MB version will be made by Sapphire and Diamond Multimedia also, and will cost between 50 and 100 more than the 256MB version, I saw it on a page, but I can't find it right now, If I find it, I will post it here.

any wanna have any clue as to how much better the 512mb version will perform compared to the 256 mb at 1280x1024 (especially in oblivion)
i am thinking of getting one of those after the price cuts that will occur due to G80

I would say you would see less then a 5-7% increase in performance at best, unless you are running heavy AA (6X and AAA). At higher resolutions I think you would see a bigger increase in performance.
