Hynix H5GQ2H24MFR-R0C - the same memory chips that the HD 7970 uses.

Sad really, that would've really shook AMD off their current early release throne and caused one hell of a price war.

Dunno about anyone else but I like seeing the companies topple each other over and over.
I'm pretty sure that both Nvidia and AMD discuss these things with each other.

Let's hope not. Price fixing tends to be frowned upon by the DOJ.

You realize that your DOJ is useless as both AMD and Nvidia are global companies and US is just another market, not even the biggest for profits.

It's also frowned upon by the ITC, that doesn't mean it doesn't happen though.

The DOJ here is useless? That's ripe. Look at what they were able to pull off on Megaupload, and Megaupload isn't even based in the US like both AMD and Nvidia are. Another example it the DOJ prosecution of non-US based companies in the LCD price fixing suits.

The US DOJ has very far reaching capabilities whether we like it or not.
