Another great price

ATI's Radeon RV770XT-based cards powered with GDDR5 memory will end up with a $229 suggested e-tail price and it’s likely to drop quickly to under the $200 mark. This is the price for a 512MB card that should be the top of the mainstream / performance line of ATI RV770 generation.

Naturally, the RV770PRO card with 512MB of GDDR3 memory will end up cheaper and it will launch at under $200 suggested e-tail price.

RV770XT will replace Radeon 3870 512MB cards on the market, while RV770PRO should replace 3850 cards of live on top of them.

We believe that ATI won’t kill its affordable Radeon 3870 and 3850 cards and will make them co-exist with RV770 based products, at least for the time being.
