I love nvidia drivers, but their line up has been pretty stale. The 6950 -> 6970 was a pretty nice bargain. The 580 has been sitting at 500+ for far too long, IMO there just isnt 500 dollars worth of performance there. Even the 570 at 350+ is kind of dumb. It is only 15-20% faster than my old *** 470. However, after overclocking the 470, it is almost pushing 570 numbers. I simply haven't been impressed with nvidias line. The 560TI is a pretty sweet card and 460 in sli are a hell of a bargain.
I'm glad I skipped this gen. From what I've seen, nvidias next line up will just be a die shrink with no major changes... Hopefully they surprise us though. I'll have a 7950 before kepler comes out though, that's for sure.
