• Are there any new video cards coming out soon? (aka: is the GTX 570 a good buy right now)

Pretty much what the title says. I'm looking to upgrade from my 4850 512MB and am looking at a GTX 570 as a replacement, but if there is something coming out soon that's looking to be better, I may wait.
rumors say hd7000 series are going to be released june/july, but i wouldn't hold my breath on that
I have no idea, but the 570 is and will remain an excellent choice just as how the 460 is still a viable option today
[QUOTE=Armotekma;29802316]rumors say hd7000 series are going to be released june/july, but i wouldn't hold my breath on that[/QUOTE] I'm not really informed on that point, but aren't they just going to make the same chps on a smaller process? Simply to lessen power consumption and heat production? I'm too tired to look it up now, but if anyone has got some info, I'll be happy.
[QUOTE=Armotekma;29802316]rumors say hd7000 series are going to be released june/july, but i wouldn't hold my breath on that[/QUOTE] Isn't that a bit too early? The hd6000 series are barely half a year old by now.
New question guys: GTX 570 vs 560 Ti, which would be better? I'm not going to upgrade for at least a year and a half, although I know "future proofing" is a bit redundant in hardware.
if your resolution is 1920x1080, a 570 if lower, a 560

Yeah, I'm running 1920x1080.
[QUOTE=Watevaman;29804755]Yeah, I'm running 1920x1080.[/QUOTE] Then I would invest in a 6950.
GTX 570 is a very solid buy. You shouldn't wait more than 3 months for new tech, or else you will be eternally waiting.
[QUOTE=GoDong-DK;29811869]Then I would invest in a 6950.[/QUOTE] This card is gonna have to last me a few years, so I'm looking to buy something more powerful now, hence the GTX570.
In the question of GTX 560 vs the 6950 at 1920x1080, I would get the 6950. But anyway, the GTX 570 is a fine choice. The 6950 will last you a long time, too, though.
