Every tech site I frequent, including AnandTech, Tom's Hardware, and Engadget, have all announced the specs and the names for nVidia's newest cards, quoted from nVidia themselves. They are, for a fact, the GTX480 and GTX470. I suspect that the even cheaper (lol) versions will be the GTX460 and then GTS450, etc. This is purely speculative on my part, though. As for laptops, well, we've already got "GT300M" parts, but they are all just slightly overclocked GT200M parts, which are in turn underclocked, die-shrunk G92/G94 parts. Again, that is a fact, not speculation.

While I agree that ATi has had some driver issues in the past, they are shaping up nicely now. IL-2 has its quirks, yes, but I personally wouldn't let that stop me from buying the best deal on the market.
