GTX 560 Coming soon!

210W? I'd rather get the 570 instead, the nonref cooling on these are bound to be catastrophically bad (at least loud, I bet most of the OEMs do much less testing than nV/ATI reference designs).

I think these "catastrophically bad" coolers are good new in a couple of ways.

They indicate a cool 560 chip.

It also means parters got free hand to do what they want with 560 from the start, that's a really good news.
Then, you may also find some good coolers soon, but in worst case you can always stick to reference-design.

it's not indicate anything instead it cost them cheaper ... hé we are speaking about industry, they are not here for anything instead of do money .

we have no idea yet on how much have been push the clock speed for match the performance they AIM ( it's cost less to push a core instead of design a new one for match a performance aim ofc when it's possible ) ...

But i agree with the fact thoses card look to be nice overclocker for now ... i just want don't want to push hope before get the numbers.

if these really cost ~250€ and are almost as fast as a gtx570, i feel ripped off for buying a 570 :<

I'm afraid that's just the start, you may feel more ripped soon.
The price-war hasn't started yet, but my local dealer has already a weekend-sale with 14% off on 570:


If you have plans to get rid of that thing, you better hurry, before the real war kicks inn.

well, i have yet to receive it... availability of the evga gtx570's is abysmal. ordered from 2 different shops and i'm waiting 2 weeks already... if i won't get it next week i'll cancel the order and just have a look how prices on these 560's are.

btw: ~2900 nok = 365 €, which is pretty expensive. the regular price of the golden sample in germany atm is ~310€. the cheapest 570 here costs 292 €. i really doubt the prices will fall even further.

I suggest you cancel it right away. It's delayed and you got a good excuse to get away cheap.

If you cancel those, you may find a good and cheap 560 next week. If you (for some strange reasons) still will have 570, then if you can look around, you may find good discount and sales-prices on 570.

EDIT:
2900 NOK is usually more like 290 €, because nVidia operates with a "special" European price, and that's not bases on $. Usually, my local dealers multiply the €-price by 10 to find the NOK-price for nVidia-products.

I don't know how 570-prices will develop in near future, but this round will possibly affect that too. It depends on how aggressively they will fight in this round, and I'm counting on a very aggressive nVidia.
I don't think it's a good idea to shop any GPU right now, I would wait and check the ground next week before buying anything.
