I am building a new PC for my cousin and I picked out a Gigabyte GeForce 9600 GT for him. As far as I am concerned, ATI can kept this card. After the ATI AIW 9700 Pro fiasco I had, I am not buying another card with one of their GPUs in it or recommending them to my friends and family ever again.

Sensible if AMD have a reasonable amount of RV770 dies that would otherwise be trashed because of a manufacturing flaw somewhere.

This card is no doubt targeted against the 8800 GT, as Cyril pointed out. ATI has nothing in that price range.

I'm guessing two SIMDs disabled, making it a 640 Stream Processor card.

to me teh 4850 is a pretty exciting card at $170. If nVidia's $170 card performed similarly in most games, it'd be exciting too.

Kind of like the 8800gs. With fewer SP that means it will have fewer TMU as well. Probably perform more like 9600gt or something of that nature.
