I wouldnt want the 512MB GTX out of benchmarks. One reason being, that in case the 512MB does become more available, and the price drops, readers need to see how is stacks up to the new X1900's.
What I did said (how many times have I said this now?) is that a reader looking to this review to buy a card, cant really even consider the 512MB GTX. As it costs a lot more than the XTX (and about twice the 256MB GTX price), upwards of $400. And is so scarce. So the buyer really only has one choice for the highend card, an ATi card.

NO! The point is, the review is on performance, and Ackmod wants it out just because of his biase against Nvidia and his disrespect for 7800gtx 512mb.
that is not right. a performance review should include all cards to allow correct guage/comparison for readers.
You're grasping at straws, and not making any sense. The price difference between the X1900XT and 256MB GTX is about $60. The price difference between the X1900XT and the 512MB GTX is almost $500, and about $400 over the XTX. Your name calling is also not needed. If I am bias against NV, why do I have 2xGTX's in SLI? And a NF4 mobo? I dont disrespect the 512MB GTX, I just look at things realistically. Its
a lot more than any ATi card, and I wouldnt even consider it if I was buying a new highend card. Its a lot more than the 256MB GTX too, and wouldnt think twice about buying one of those, instead of a 512MB GTX. In fact, by todays prices (US), you can buy two 256MB GTX's for less than a single 512MB GTX. Why should anyone even consider the 512MB GTX? I realize you are very pro-NV, but try to be a realist as well.
