Our review hardware consists of (my PC):

•   CPU: Intel Core 2 Quad QX6700 @2,666MHz
•   Motherboard: MSI P7N SLI Platinum
•   GPU: Galaxy GT 640 GC 2GB
•   Memory: 4GB (2x 2GB) Corsair Dominator PC2-8500 @800MHz

No value at $100, might have if Nvidia could MSRP it for under $70

This needs GDDR5 or a wider memory bus.

DDR5 and what 192-Bit? For Nvidia that make a $200 part that prefoms like a 7770. It isn't preformance problem, it's a pricing calamity. AMD can give DDR5 and use 128-Bit and wins with 7750 and that can be a had for $85.

The bigger deal is AMD releasing the new HD 7750 900MHz.. It's like a GTX550Ti on 75W.
