Hopefully this ends up a great chip.

P.S. At one point folks were mentioning "pixel fill rate" as one of the weaker points of GF100 at higher resolutions. Does anyone know how Nvidia will address this situation if the GPU size is halved? I am hoping this product will be optimized and balanced for 1080p.

Only time will tell...

heh... "back to school" video card.
More like "failing out of school" video card (because you play video games instead of studying)...

I can't wait to see the GF104 in action, I really hope it is a good chip.

You can see one right now, it's called the 5770.

lol... well, thats good then. Lets hope nvidia brings it to market ASAP then, and a 2xGF104 solution as well.
We need some actual competition.

Isn't Southern Islands supposedly set for release around that time (I think that's what was posted here somewhere).

Back to School? Nvidia has been getting schooled for 8 months now! Does not Compute.

5770 performance with the die size of a 58xx means prices aren't going to move much.
