It would be nice if it was around $475 ...Did everyone forget the new EVGA GTX 560 Ti Win2??

It's twice as fast as GTX 560 and is faster than one GTX 580 and ATI 7970!

Get this, it's priced at $510...maybe that's why ATI is playing 'The Price Is Right.'

true its faster but then again its also a dual card,

and guess what sli dosent always scale that well same goes with xfire,

theres also inherent problems with multi gpu systems ive been lucky in my usage of them but others have not, that said its still a fast card, but EVGA is the only one that makes it, and im not really all that big on custom single AIB designs,

aka its one thing to make a special 560 or 570 but a special dual gpu card made only by one AIB dosent sit well with me.
