Wow, an extremely comprehensive list for such a low-range card. Pretty decent OC gains as well.

Just another dud... For the price these are at, the purchaser shouldn't need to OC and possibly void their warranty just to make it participate on price vs. performance.

To be competitive it should be about $110, or at least just at or under what the GTX460 786Mb are go for in the market today.

Hopefully the the 500 series will be actually faster than the 400 series - unlike the GTS 450 which matched a GTS 250 even though it had half again as many stream processors and the GT 440 which has trouble beating the 3 year old 9600 GT and costs nearly twice as much.

Thanks Steve. Why didn't Nvidia keep the GTS just a bump to 192-Bit means it now GTX? These just don't have the shader textures and vector units to be bumped to GTX status.

This is going to be interesting most of the 5770's in the pipe will probably be dropping to an average of ~$100-110 while more deals might start showing at ~$80. (The other week Egg had 15 low-moderately priced new units averaging $119). Then with the 6790 showing the 550 ti will need a price adjustment to more like $120-130.
