Yep, indeed. A GTS is around $425 here, and even the new Asus Deluxe GTS
with tv in/out is a couple of bucks cheaper than the V5 5500.

>I guess you have a DDR you're happy with, eh?

NV20 is what I will be interested in, this new generation of cards simply 
doesn't offer enough of a performance jump.
