Well to me all it means is the cards in "MY BUDGET" are going to get price cuts.

460 is slightly better in performance than 570, but 570 would be better as it is single.
As 570 looks like a optimized rebranded 480.
^ yeah. though i myself prefer benches at 1920x1080 with no aa and 16xaf as i consider this setting to be the most common out there. but to each his own i guess.
gtx570vs 2x460 also available at NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 570: Filling In The Gaps - AnandTech :: Your Source for Hardware Analysis and News
^ i am VERY confused between MSI 6870 @15.5K and zotac gtx470 @ 15.2k. SMC prices.
i expect 570 to be around 20~21k in india, the same price at which 470 was launched.
There are lots of hype regarding GTX 570. but really is that card so much revolutionary? Forget about the G110 architecture, then it is just a GTX480 with better heat design and smaller TDP. It has more SPs to perform better. But look at HD 6870. It has SMs of a HD 5830, i.e. 1120 but with better TDP and performance over HD 5850 with 1440 SP. So there are some optimization.
I think AMD's new 69XX series is going to be something interesting.
In fact just think of a HD 6870 with 1600 Stream processor, surely it will challenge even GTX580, no new architecture required.
I think that hype is true afterall. The gf110 has got a few tricks in its sleeve to ensure its graphical prowess.
Firstly there are transistor level changes in the gf110 die for improved tdp and efficiency. Secondly gf110 dies incorporates some more architectural changes like FP16 filtering happening in one clock cycle rather than two in gf100. Ofcourse we have seen it gtx460 and boy what an improvement it was.
Talking about efficiency, gf110 incorporates Z-culling efficiency which allows the core to discard pixels which are not required to be rendered in a scene and goes for others.
We all know the tesselation power of gf110 so its also a consideration. Thats why the 570 trumps the 480 in many cases despite having lower ROP partitions , memory bus and video memory.
The above things make the gtx570 so sweet and prepares it for the upcoming cayman parts a.k.a 6970 & 6950.
I ordered Dell monitor from SMC. Just ask for a sealed box cuz my monitor was not sealed with original dell tapes.hey guys
has anyone bought stuff from smc international??
plz share your experiences, good or bad
it only offers msi and sapphire gpus
am considering to buy msi r6850 from them
