Well, I'd say it has a lot to do with 1) there are 3 different versions of the 6800 1) the 6800, the 6800 GT, and the 6800 Ultra, all of which have varying prices, and the regular 6800 having the lowest price (around $299 "on sale") on some websites. 2) The advent of PCIX has to have something to do with the drop in prices, despite the fact that these cards aren't available to the public yet, the news of them does signal a new technology, so that might be driving the price of the "lowest" 6800 down as well. Of course, you can expect at least a 50% performance boost from this card over the 5900 or an ATI 9800 Pro. For a real performance boost, up to a 300% increase in some benchmarks, I would invest in a 6800 Ultra. Sweet Jesus, what a leap.
