[The Question]

That seems like a good deal, especially with the free Arkham City coupon. My struggle with the 560Ti 448 is that it's so close to being a 570; why not just get a 570? sure there is a difference in price, but it usually waffles around $50; not exactly bank breaking amounts when you're looking at this level of performance. Also, aren't the 560Ti's just built using GPU's that didn't pass the grade as 570's? I get the draw here, but after you're done OC'ing the thing to get it almost to 570 stock performance levels, wouldn't you have been better off paying the extra $50 for a 570?

It's easy to price drop something that was overpriced in the first place.

i think the price went back up. i was looking at that a few days ago and it was $250 with a rebate.

I've been watching that card like a hawk for weeks and it's never dropped below $299. It was kind of a toss up between that card and the MSI of the same card. I think now I've decided to step up to a 570 for a little more futureproofing though.
