    Very simply and as illustrated well by AMD: if a graphics card outperforms a previous generation part that's still being sold, expect it to be priced at a higher level.

    Seems like people who have no clue about the GPU market are talking out of their rear ends again in an effort to generate traffic.
    It's the 'still being sold' part that's the issue with your logic here. There was a huge gap between the 480 and the 460 launch, and the 460 easily has more transistors than the 280/285 before it and is faster and was sold cheaper than the 280/285. What we're not mentioning here is the fact that TSMC have raised wafer prices, so Nvidia may not be able to price their *60 much lower than say the 570. But I imagine they'll just stick to the old method of launching high end and harvested high end parts first and waiting for a couple of months before releasing the tier below that.
