But that is not going to happen as it would tempt the commercial market to buy the cheaper consumer units.

Also for what they want for the 680 you could buy two 570s. This gives you two advantages. First, more credits then a single 680. And second, if one card fails you only loose 50% of your production. Compared to losing 100% of production if the 680 fails (And 1st gen tend to fail more often) I'd think its better to go the 570 route.
