    In my experience, Nvidia cards are full of shit and unreliable, take ages to get them to work 100% then they will probably die or get artifacts a year later....

    About R6000,depending where you shop.I normally buy my gear from take2 and they have got an Msi in stock for R6270.Availability on these cards are not great yet,so prices will come down in the next month or so.

    The 460 is around R2000

    Depending on brands though.

    R5000 isn't too bad for a card like that.

    The memory bandwidth and bus size is quite nice

    192.4 GB/s - 384bit. Sounds like a powerful card!

    I'm really thinking about getting one of these in a few months.
