I haven't ask those questions. I would assume that they want to cover all market segments at all price points so that they can be more economically viable and keep bringing us those sweet GPU's for a long time to come.

Both ATI and Nvidia make a good product, other companies like Palit and MSI and some others vend both ATI and Nvidia and do a pretty good job of it. It's the smart thing to do in an economic downturn, widen your product base to appeal to a larger group of people.

Yes we have an XFX 4870 coming it should be here any time now. As soon as it comes through the door I'll start on it and get a review up for you.
