Considering that there hasn't been any official news on the price of the GX2, I still don't see why people keep saying this. I don't know why people think that nVidia, who already has ATI beat on virtually every price point, would suddenly do a complete 180 and release a card that doesn't compete price wise.

on par with the X2?!

Notice that the Q6700 running at default speed (2.66Ghz),
any chance of being cpu-limited?
