Indeed.
Also seen on a French news site, Gainward will release a "low-noise" FX, rates @7dBA (no there's no typo, *seven* dbA).
Nothing has been said on "how" they did it. Watercooling ? heatpipes ? huge ass heatsink ?
Prices aren't lower though.
Gainward Ultra/1000 Plus "Golden Sample" : GeForce FX Ultra 500 MHz (core) / 1 GHz -> 649 EUR
Gainward Ultra/800 Plus "Golden Sample" : GeForce FX 400 MHz (core) / 800 MHz -> 499 EUR
Currently the Euro is higher than the dollar (1 EUR ~= $1.077) but that does not justify the $100 price difference with the U.S. ...
Once again because we're in EU we're being ripped
