It's gonna sell for around $250 US... It's gonna be a nice card to upgrade to if you're running a 8800GT or an early GTX 200 (280 or a 260)...same to be said from aTI cards like the 4870 or lower... http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/NVIDIA/GeForce_GTX_560_Ti/ Awards

AMD/ATI is good if you want to run 3 monitor setup with a single card... I like both nVIDIA and AMD/ATI, there is so many options out there now...ATI/AMD is dropping $20 on some cards to fight the GTX560, and also start to sell 1GB versions of the 6950.... Awards

CplMOFO Those nVIDIA cards are great for 1920 X 1080 or less resolution (1GB RAM), the HD 6950 and 6970 are better for higher res with the 2GB versions. nVIDIA is good for the people playing games that make good use of PHYSX and use their rig for F@H...

I like both nVIDIA and AMD/ATI, there is so many options out there now...ATI/AMD is dropping $20 on some cards to fight the GTX560, and also start to sell 1GB versions of the 6950.... well said....and I like both as well just had no choice because of my three monitor setup(3x27") Awards

Now, I have to see what I can do....I need to squeeze two of those on my list, along with a 2500K Sandy Bridge.... I planted a money-growing tree seed in my back yard..and I water it everyday...no bills burgeoning thru yet... Awards
