And by "affordable", they don't mean "cheap piece of crap". They mean (or at least claim) "bang for your buck" for the serious gamer on a budget.
Nvidia today took the wraps off the GeForce GTX 460, designed to be the the company's first real mass-market card built to support DirectX 11. Priced at $199, Nvidia reckon that the GTX 460 is in some areas (like tesselation, a new DX11 feature) up to four times faster than equivalent ATI cards.
Early benchmarks suggest it comes close in performance to a range of more expensive cards, though whether it comes close enough to make it a more worthwhile purchase for the thrifty consumer than, say, the cheaper ATI Radeon HD 5770 (at $150) is up in the air.
Still, it's always nice when previously unaffordable (for the masses) tech becomes...slightly less unaffordable, so if you're in the market for something to run DirectX 11 and couldn't quite justify spending $300+ on a card, this might be something to look into.
Not sure what DirectX11 even is, let alone what it brings to the table for PC gamers? You might want to consult this handy guide!

Wrong section
Cool though I guess?

You're right.
Well, better hope a mod comes through and see this.
yeah wrong section, cause most people in ggd are pretty damn stupid
anyway,
it seems like a good buy, not bad at 200. towards if ATI will lower their prices on their 5830 or not, I don't think so.
I'm not sure if this would be any better than being 1 year behind in graphics cards (at time of purchase) Some of them appear to be at this sort of price after 1 year.
If Nvidia don't keep these cards updated every year at the same price I doubt many will buy them.
i love my overclocked 8800gt
I already have an nvidia card so I'll be set for a while. Still interesting to see that nvidia is trying to put themselves on the market more though.
Awesome
Too bad I already purchased my 470. I got it for $150 so I'm still not complaining.
Crap...
I'm still stuck with a GeForce 9500 GT...
Oh well, it's two years until I get a new PC, and I'm planning on building this one... So I'm not worried.
Think I'm fine with my 4870 1GB OC for now but this looks pretty good for the money in terms of spec
5870 is all I need.
Never thought I'd hear those two words in the same sentence. Affordable and nVidia. Don't call me a fanboy, my Motherboard is nForce, GPU is ATI, and CPU Intel. It's a mixed race family.

Hey guys I bash something but it's okay because I own one of the company's products :downs:
It seems like a good buy. I wish there was more direct competition between ATi and Nvidia, and this seems like a step in the right direction.

Hey guys I get my feelings hurt over a [I]product[/I]. :downs:
Nvidia has always catered to the high end crowd. He was making a joke.
This is like the 8800 GT of today. Really cheap but also powerful. I'll be picking one up soon.
I might buy this if nothing better and more affordable comes out by christmas.

That's exactly, 100% it.
Now I wish I had an upgradable laptop :sigh:
Damn you XPS M1530...
Goddammit I need to upgrade but I'm so low on money.
Finally, an affordable replacement for my 9800GT.
In benchmarks, the ATI cards has been doing very well against the NVIDIA cards.
I got $300 at my grad party but I don't think it's a good idea for me to blow $200 on a new GPU when my gts250 is doing just fine
nVidia? Affordable? I am suprised.

Yeah I'm still using mine on new games with no problems, I love it it's my most favorite card ever.
Great, I hope I can cough up enough money for this. I also need a motherboard that has a PCI-E ports.

what the hell is your PC from 2003
Capitalism at it's best.
Is it better than the Nvidia 220?
