I wonder if they'll use this chip for the 550? It would be nice.
They could just cut down the chip to 336 cores and make it a gtx560se at 823 core it would beat a 6850 easy and be dam close to a 6870 for less money.
Then land a fully enabled gf106 chip called the gts550 with performance of a gtx460 768 and stick it in between a 5770 and 6850 performance.
Well thats what I'd do. 🙂
