GTX 560 Coming soon!

2GB doesn't help scaling unless the game runs out of memory with 1GB. Of course nothing's preventing Nvidia to improve SLI scaling with their drivers like AMD did.

I don't see much reason for buying a 2GB version of GTX 560 unless going crossfire and triple monitor. Probably the only reason they make a 2 GB version is because 6950 has one. It does look a bit bad that the lower end card has 2GB whereas 570 and 580 have less.

But in the end it's good that there's a card for everyone. Let's just hope GTX 560 will bring in some more competition and lower prices.

We could discuss who needs CFX or SLI, but it would be a reparation. Lets agree, with 580 out there, you won't need SLI on a single monitor.

EDIT(Some may still go for 2 x 6970/50-1GB if they get a better performance with less price than 580.
Rumors about low Price on 6970/50-1GB may appeal to some to go CFX, and this 2 x 560-2GB seams to be an attempt to prevent that, in my opinion. In case it will be really cheap, and I've already tipped $199 for 560, but it will depend directly on final AMD-1GB-prices)

nVidia seams to be countering AMD's upcoming CFX-move with this 2GB. Appealing to same audience, those who would either go for 2 x 69xx-1GB or 6990, as said before.

nVidia has been trying to improve SLI-scaling with driver/SW too, but a HW-boost would come on top of that, for sure. We ain't seen SLI-scaling on 2GB Fermi yet, so it's premature to suggest it's useless.

EDIT, some edit inside the (...) in the middle.
