It seems that the story itself will be repeated again, like with the X1900 which was what the X1800 was supposed to be. It seems that both company are doing a complot or something, the GeForce FX came 6 month's late with performance in which wasn't on par with their rivals, now the R600 is having the same story. Other one is the 7800 which was a reworked 6800 which showed the strenghts of the NV40 architecture, like the X800 which did the same thing with the 9800. Strange eh?
