You really need an upgrade!!!
How low can they go!
Depending on the price/performance of these 560s, I may instead just get a 460 on the cheap and OC it like crazy
OCuk are currently doing a deal on the MSI ATI Radeon HD 5850 Twin FrozR II for £129.99 and I will be upgrading the GPU of my bedroom gaming rig soon. I'm on a tight budget of around £130 but can't decide between 5850 or the GTX 460.
Is there a chance that the price of the GTX 460 will drop further when the GTX 560 comes out?
Soldato
Always a chance, but we are probably looking at post launch prices by a few sites that have jumped the gun.

Out of curiosity, is this likely to perform better than the 470? I somehow doubt it but at base clock speeds, I am curious what they're aiming for...
from what i read around net,560 will be close to 570,470 can be easily trashed by properly overcklocked 460,so yes,i think 560 will be better than 470
Soldato
if it can beat/match the 6950 with the 560 in power and performance, but for 200 we have a winner.
though the 6950 can be unlocked.

yes,it can,but for more money
probably first week or so 560 wont have good prices,but then it will be business as usual - price wars - which is good for us customers

That's huge chip I just wonder what it will retail for. You would think this chip is aimed at the HD 6870 given have nothing at that price range but can afford to sell it at 6870 prices?
Can i ask why you canceled SB upgrade?Coz i am thinking to do it,since i sold my system
Because I already have a 4 Ghz I7 920 and a Rampage III Extreme?
I ordered it purely on impulse and dont actually need it, and I dont want to downgrade my mobo so much.If you already sold your system and need a new one, then you probably need the upgrade more than I did.
I dont even need the GTX 560s, but I doubt I'll have enough self control to stop myself from getting them. I'll try and wait for some nice offers or price cuts this time though.
All this sandybridge and GTX 560 stuff has me going mad. I want, I want, I want

Sound like me mate. I WANT but there is nowt wrong with what I have. Just like playing with new stuff.

Indeed, i'd love a 560, but my OC'd 460 is fine.
And i'd get naff all for my 460 now, so i'd be paying a lot for not much more

Yea, paid £180 for my 460s, and I'd get around £100 for each now?
Please brain, think before going crazy impulsive again, I should take my meds before ordering and wait 10 minutes lol.
I want the 560s, but I'd lose so much on my 460s that it wouldnt be worth it one bit. I should at least wait for the 28 nm stuff thats due at the end of the year, and also the next CPU die shrink too. I'll probably still get the same amount then for my current gear.
I've already chugged through an E8400, I7 920, 3850s / 4850s / 4870s / 5770s / GTX 460s.
The current stuff I have has depreciated in value the most, the ATI mid range cards sold near enough to what I had initially paid for them, and one 4870 died and I got given a full refund.
But this time I would be losing £80 per GTX 460.

Hmm, I may end up just getting a gtx 460 due the current low prices and then pick up another one for SLI later when I need the extra headroom - hopefully should work out to being one of the best bang for the Buck at around £130.
