Thread moved to video forum. And while I'd expect some lower end cards to filter down the channel, I doubt it will be within 6 months. Look how long it took to bring the GF100's to market.
While it's true that GF100 is more modular than GT200 so to speak, given the power consumption issues I think it might take a little while before we see lower-end parts.
I think Nvidia could flesh out it's line up; although I'd be willing to bet for the next 6 months I'm not sure how they'd do it.
I mean you can't even find a GTX 275 online right now, at least I can't.. and I'm not sure why.. since really there are basically no Nvidia cards available right now.. with the 470's and 480's coming down the pipe shortly.

It would definitely be in NV's best interest to churn out their GF100 derivatives as soon as possible.
ATI put out their complete Evergreen lineup within 6 months and NV should do the same, if not faster considering how late GTX480/470 is (and it's still not actually available).
Otherwise, we might be seeing some more G92 rebadging....
