Upgrade time, nv or ATi?

[Jay85]

I've had 4 ATi cards now, 3 x 5870 and 1 x 5670. I'm after a single powerful gpu upgrade to my 5870. What is worth getting right now? I have about £250 to spend!

Fire away!

Well, after reading around a little, there's going to be a new generation of 28nm gpu's coming out soon? That's all I know so far...

 

[Jay85]

Will they release the high end cards first or low end? Does anyone know? If it's high end I'll wait and purchase a new 7 series

How much faster is the 570 compared to the 2gb 6950? Is it a lot faster, worth the extra £30?

A rough guide here, be aware that drivers change and performance will be somewhat different :

Wow the 570 really does pull it's own weight in some benches.

Can someone tell or give an opinion on the Asus direct cu II version that's triple slot? Is it worth getting? I really want one to run on my msi 890gxm-g65 micro atx board!
