Any thoughts? Anybody have found any benchies for it?

The best kind, Guru3d review (for the 4870, but it has the 260 in every test so it's more relevant than the 260 reviews with no 4870).

Too expensive, i mean... the $309 4870 is right on part with the $660 GTX 280.

Whats nvidia thinking?

a true nvidia fanboy will buy the gtx 280. they could get almost the same performance for less cash

i'm putting a hd4870 in my next build instead.

Woah... 900mb on a single craphics card.. Quad 260's is three and a half gigabytes of graphics!

They have several cards with 1GB of VRAM.

According to the benchmarks I've seen, the HD4870 is = to the GTX260. But the GTX280 pwns all. For a ridiculous price increase though.

For more then twice the price, it certainly doesn't perform twice as well.
