Is $300 with 3D in the class of geforce2/ati_r200?
Well, that's a different story. If the plan changes so that we decide
to produce a high-end card, then we can do an ASIC, giving us more chip
area and faster clock speeds.
The problem is that a $300 card isn't a card "for the masses". My
example there is only plausible for those cases where lots of money is
already being spent.
