Nvidia Adds GeForce GTX 570 To Graphics Lineup 52
crookedvulture writes "Filling the gap between mid-range graphics cards around the $200 mark and high-end excess that costs upward of $500, Nvidia has added a $350 GeForce GTX 570 to its stable of graphics cards. Based on the company's latest GF110 GPU, the GTX 570 offers equivalent performance to last year's flagship GTX 480 with lower power consumption and a cheaper price tag. The value proposition is strong with this one, although as The Tech Report's review points out, it would be wise to hold out until AMD's "Cayman" graphics card breaks cover, which it's expected to do next week."

GPU sales don't work like that, they are not the latest Xmas toy. They will simply drop depending on competition, it could be after Xmas but it could be before. Right now if you have $350 to spend you can get a 570 and get 80% of the much more expensive 580. Or if you don't mind crossfire you could spend ~$380 and get two HD 6850's and get even closer to the 580 for many games.
