Tell that to dark2099

Reason for it was obvious.. they wanted to outperform 4870x2 for a competitive price point. No sense in releasing a card that has the same performance as 2x GTX260 216s since 2x GTX 260 216s is more or less equivalent (averaging) vs a 4870x2. |
And then why is it that Tatty's 260 that had a soft-volt mod owns any GTX280 under the sun? The GTX200 series is more or less bogged down by shader cores... it never needed more than say 192 or 216.
