they do have a GeForce 6800Ultra 512MB. Dont know about that on the 7 series.

The 512M versions coming for christmas

As for the pipes, unlikely since there's no reason to (as far as market goes ... ATi, so far, cant compete on a technical level and they sure as hell cant compete on a product exposure level -- which is why nVidia scrapped the G70Ultra ... because ATi wont be able to make any sufficient quanitity of any product to even threaten the G70GTX)

Now that this thread's question has been answered, I pose another one. Which suite of drivers do you guys feel are better? I am not asking which company you like better or anything to do with ATI vs. nVidia, I am asking, on a technical level, which set of drivers performs better (not 3rd party drivers, only the catalyst & forceware drivers).

idk about performance but i have heard and experianced many problems with installing ATI drivers and getting them to work properly, while i have not heard of many complaints about nvidia drivers.
