I hope the 6950 beats by 570 by at least 10-15%.

I believe AMDs HD6900 series was designed with DX-11 and Tessellation in mind. They will be very competitive in DX-11 games with Tessellation against GTX500 series, but at extreme Tessellation settings GTX500 could be faster.

$350 is kind of steep, especially since 5870 has been going for $180 lately (after MIR)

$350 is a fair price. It's really a kind of boring card. It really is still a 4XX series card with some tweaks.

Nice card for $349, lower power usage/thermals/noise than GTX480 for the same performance.

AMD HD6850 CF and NV GTX460 1G SLI are faster and cost les but they are not single cards.

Both GTX570 and GTX580 are very nice and we only have to wait one more week to see what AMD will bring to the table with the new 6900 series.

What do you want? Cayman?


The GTX 570 gives you GTX 480 performance for the old GTX 470 pricing. Cool and quiet also.

 

[Avalon]

Not too shabby. $350 for that kind of performance at reasonable power/sound levels is good. It's especially cool that you can likely overclock it to reach the power of the GTX580. Been a while since $350 could get you to the top end with a little bit of effort, or at least it feels that way.

That would mean the 6950 will be basically as fast as the gtx580. Not gonna happen.

 

[MrK6]

Looking over the reviews, it seems the GTX 570 it still isn't faster than the 5870 in some cases (i.e. performance is still close enough to depend on architectural differences) and ~10% faster overall. With the 5870 available for $250, I don't see how NVIDIA expects this to sell.

In your dreams.

I think they will sell well, NV is pushing these cards out fast ahead of AMD to make sure they get some sales at a higher price point, smart move on their part.

Some more informed buyers may still pick one of these up if they are worried about getting stock of a 6950/6970 when they release next week.

$350 for GTX 480 performance without the noise and heat is pretty nice. The only downside is all the reviews showed only about a 75mhz overclock for these cards. But that is true of the 580 as well, these cards have been pushed hard to get their performance.

I reckon NV will release a dual-gpu card early January after the 6950/6970 launch to retake the crown again until 6990. That card might be interesting if it is priced around $500.

Most reviews had very little about the overclock abilities of the card. I was somewhat disappointed with a majority of the reviews because of this. A detailed OC review wasn't needed, but including the max auto overclock out of the box should have been included.

They can only sell well if people can buy them. Availability for the 580 is not great, and the 570 isn't looking too hot outside the US at this moment (not in stock until the end of the week at best).

They can push all they want; who's going to buy them? Honestly, everyone and his/her mother got a 5850 or 5870 and anyone else who didn't waited for the first Fermi generation. There's not a lot of folks out there who will drop $350 on a graphics card, never mind $350 for only ~10% performance boost.

To be honest, most reviewers rarely push cards or have no clue how to overclock. The GTX 580 seems to top out at 900-1000MHz depending on the sample, and I don't expect these cards to be any different.

There hasn't been a single day that I have looked that I couldn't buy a 480 somewhere online if I wanted.

Between Newegg, Tiger, and EVGA.com, there are always at least some in stock.

 

[bryanW1995]

looks to be a hair faster than gtx 480, with better temps/noise/heat/price. lots of good, no bad.

biggest takeaway for me was at the very end of AT's article Ryan made it obvious that he doesn't have 69x0 cards yet and doesnt' even know when he'll be getting them. dec 13th is right around the corner...

The new lower price of some of the 5870's may lure some people away from the 570, but it's not going to be any where near as bad as you are trying to making it out to be I imagine.

Huh? Your argument is that the market is completely saturated already by high-end cards?


I'm sure plenty of people will be buying these cards. In fact as of right now, AMD hasn't even got their new high-end out for Xmas, when consumer wallets open up.

link?

8 months after the gtx480, Nvidia has a card that performs just as well, all while doing it with less power draw, less noise, lower temperatures, and for $150 cheaper than what this performance would have cost in April.

Until AMD can answer with Cayman, it's a win-win situation for both Nvidia and consumers.

 

[NIGELG]

Worth upgrading from a 5850?

pcper.com has a review up and it seems to destroy even the 2gb version of the 5870 in everything except for civ v, which let's face it - is not a good gpu test.

What games are you playing that the 570 isn't faster? In Metro 2033 and lost planet the card is as much as 40 - 50% faster than the 5870 2gb.
