Its called back-fill, the typical strategy from Nvidia and AMD is to release the best 3 cards up front and then fill the lower end cards up(aside from dual gpu card).

I assume it's a marketing ploy to keep the prices as highest as possible for the entire lineup.


Edit, these should be nice in SLI. Any chance for that review?
