GTX 560 Coming soon!

Depends on the resolution and the number of cards.
If you use 2 or 3 cards, or if you use a higher resolution than 1920x1200, then 69x0 cards perform very admirably; in fact, a much more expensive 580 gets beaten by 6970 in certain scenarios.

Most gamers are using a single 24". and the "old" 580 SLI-scaling problems for those on multi-monitor is fixed by 580-3GB now.
As I promised you about alternatives to 6970-2GB, a few days ago, LOL. We may still see other 2GBs cards tho.

So, they way I look at it, nVidia has the upper hand for most gamers (on 24"), and has a good alternative for multi-monitors too in this round.

$260 US for the gigabyte OC (900MHz)
$280 US for the gigabyte SOC (1GHz)
$290 US for EVGA superclocked (???MHz)

Showing up now on google shopping. $290+tax & shipping is pushing it... might as well spend $50-60 more and have the full 480 shaders and performance of the 570.

Will be interesting to see the OC performance tho, especially of 1GHz is a starting point. Love the white edition from galaxy.
