At the time it wasn't out yet, and I didn't even know how much it's going to be.
Finally, it was released and the price was...
 |
| Really? $400+? $400+?? For a graphic card? Serious? |
I was expecting high $200s. How naive.
So, I decided to get the second best option for me.
 |
| Price wise, this is way better than 670. |
Of course if you compare the specifications, 570 is no match for 670. But, the thing is, this is good enough to play Battlefield 3.
My main monitor (I'm using 2 now and planning to add 1 more) resolution is 1920x1200, and if I go easy on certain options I can still get decent frame rate (frame rate is how many pictures are shown in a second, DVDs and Blu-rays have 30frames/second. This series of pictures make it look like moving. Anything higher than 30 will be fine unless you're extra sensitive to it.)
I also though about getting 560ti-448, but its price is comparable to 570 now (see how cheap(huh?) 570 is becoming?).
At this point AMD's Radeon is out of picture because I've seen enough threads complaining about its compatibility issues in gaming.
It turns out my PCI-e 3.0 won't show its full potential for another couple of years.
Bummer.
