Wow... what are the prices on these cards/are their any yet selling yet?

Yeah, and the 280 is $900 here.

I think I'll definitely pass and let the G80 last me a bit more.. Unless ATI's offering is a superb improvement for an equally superb price.

Yep. I notice both for folding and Crysis that the CPU is the limiter, so Nehalem can't arrive fast enough.
