I'd have to disagree, if we had an 8800GTX killer, i'd say its pretty safe you could purchase a used 8800GTX now for $350 - $380. (which is what the new GTS is going for)
But thats all speculation so we could argue that all day.
My point is.... Since Ati/Amd arent "pushing" Nvidia, we arent getting much performance increases this year.
As all the benchmarks show , we just have a bunch of cards all bunched together with similar performance.
I guess I wasn't dissagreeing about the fact that high end cards serve to bring us GTX performance at 1/2 the price. I was just argueing that the actual GTX itself does not drops in price. They would introduce a new card that would be on par with a 8800GTX, for 1/2 the price, but the G80 8800GTX would still be an overpriced pig.
Anyhow, not anything worthy to argue about... I am just waiting for the 9800GTX. I can't wait two months to purchase the card, so I broke down and bought a GTS... Then, if all goes well maybe I will try this 'step' up program... Otherwise, my dad will get this card and I will sell his 8800GTS640MB.
I also tend to agree with people here... It seems they should have went with GDR4 memory... :-/
