I'm nVidia fanboy but I think that this just might dethrone the GTX 280 in some games (and lose terribly in others).

Actually, it's the 9800 GX2 it's trying to dethrone. The GX2 outguns the GTX 280, 260 and the HD 4870 by a wide margin in gaming benchmarks.
Have you not seen the benchmarks where the 4870 kills that card in nearly everything? This is just going to kill it even harder.Nvidia has failed, hard.
@Schfelzerberg: only in a couple of last gen gaming tests. with any kind of moderately complex shaders, the 4870 smashes a GX2. heres crysis:http://www.guru3d.com/news/ati-radeon-hd-4870-vs-geforce-9800-gx2-benchmark-results/again, the 9800 GX2 uses last gen processors.
