I personally think AMD released it just to stick it to Nvidia some more. AMD wants to stay in the News circles, and releasing another videocard is one way to accomplish that.

I personally would go for a 5770 or a 5750 before ever considering a 5570. AMD has plenty of budget videocards released already, IMO.
 
I don't understand why a person would buy a 5570 at the prices they're at.

"Would you like a 5670 with less memory bandwidth, a lower core clock and the same price? No? Really..."
 
I think the selling point of these is supposed to be the low profile version by default.

Are there any 5670 low profile cards out? Anyway, i wouldn't buy one of these, but i can see people buying them when the price settles down.
 
You buy a 5570 for low profile.

I'm waiting for the Asus version to come out (which looks exactly like every other low profile they do, including the GT210/220). It's got more heatsink than fan unlike most which have quite large fans. Going to snaffle the fan off to run it passively so the less fan the better.
 
This card should be for the PC you buy with crappy Intel integrated graphics and you want to get a cheap DirectX 11 upgrade. Probably more for a media PC with gaming as an afterthought.

Overall, I am very impressed by AMD's continuing initiative to take the lead in next-gen DirectX 11 computing. :)
 
Ergh, I was thinking of buying this since it would fit my brother's low profile Dell pc but the price is too high compared to the 5670... But it's nice to see its perfromance is like a 4670

According to the maximumpc.com review, we can speculate that the 5570 will go for (in the USA and Canada) approxamitely $80.

And, according to hardwarecanucks.com. the 5670 is much more than that, ranging from $100 to $125.

UK pricing does seem a lot higher for some reason. :rolleyes:
