The one surprise is the attractive price. $450 for a top of the line video card is excellent for the consumer. I was expecting $550-$600 for it.
That wouldn't really make much sense. The HD 3870 is $240. The HD 3870 X2 could not be priced more than $480 or people would just buy 2 3870s and run them on crossfire.

That said, it is nice to see that the fastest video card currently on the market is $450.
