"All of this hoopla has again come down to small slivers of difference between the best options from AMD and Nvidia, amazingly enough. These two companies and their partners have a very good handle on the competitive situation, and they've positioned their products accordingly. We're left to sort things out, and sometimes, the best answer is "take your pick." One thing we do know: these new entries at $259-269 are where you want to be. The GeForce GTX 570, Radeon HD 6950 2GB, and Radeon HD 6970 don't deliver enough additional performance to justify their prices."
