Sorry, missed that.

The 560 is by no means excellent. A 650 would use half the wattage and be only 30-40% slower then the 560 at anything except gaming (and even then it'd be around a max 70%). The price to performance of a 560 is just not there anymore, for a graphics rig a 650 makes more sense, it will run cooler, use half the wattage, has newer technology, and trades off pure cuda gaming performance for reliable performance at the wattage it maintains, which isn't much.

cest le vie, I guess

 

Edit: Blackhearted, I just bought a significant order from newegg a short while ago. There wasn't a single item in the order that was over 20$ marked up on neweggs american site. Infact;

These cards are identical in performance and model with the sole difference being three revisions to the model ID number.
