With the release of 6950, it has pretty much made 6870 pointless buy now...Don't Nvidia need something to go up against the HD6870 ?
I always thought the GTX560 was meant to sit between 6870 and 6950. The water gets deep after the 6950.
Don't Nvidia need something to go up against the HD6870 ?
I always thought it was:
GTX560 - HD6950
GTX570 - HD6970
GTX580 - HD5970
GTX595?- HD6990
It'll slot in at around £200 as it's going to compete with the 6950. I'm waiting to see how the performance compares with the 570.

Aren't the 5 series EOL now?
It looks like the GTX560 will be released on the 25th of January:

Supposedly it will gave a 180W TDP and the 3DMark Vantage scores place it in between an HD6870 and a HD6950:

It all depends on performance and price.
It's impact could be BIG if it's close to 6850 up to 1080p for 180£
GTX560 will be faster than GTX470 but not by much. NVidia hobbled the original GF104 so as not to overlap it's product range. Typically the GTX 470 is 20% faster than GTX 460, but with the extra 15% shaders activated it becomes very close. If NVidia then up GF114 clocks by 20% GTX 560 will be >10% faster than GTX470.The GTX560 cannot be much faster than a GTX470 otherwise it will affect GTX570 sales.
