GTX 560 Coming soon!

[SKYMTL]

Sapphire 1GB 6950 is already listed, as is HIS. Of course it's up to the AIBs to make the 1GB cards and probably not all of them are rushing it and some probably will never offer such SKU.

IIRC some AIBs were going to release higher OC 6870's so the 1GB 6950 and 6870 OC models should be enough of a response for GTX 560. This most certainly won't be killing 2GB models, but competition with a 1GB 6950 could drag the 2GB model prices down along with it.

As we have seen in the past, listing cards does not mean sufficient (or any) stock.

The GTX 460 SE was picked up by a few retailers but never reached widespread availability. Again, I am not saying this will happen with lower end SKUs of the HD 6950 since I am hoping to see at least SOME competition.
