As for the GTX570, the 7850 is slightly slower I think 2fps in most games but the 7850 can be clocked to eat the GTX570 alive even when the 570 is oc'd. So might still be worth looking at it.
Yeah well I have a couple of months to wait for things to settle. Who knows, nVidia's new cards might heat up competitive pricing again.
