The 460's are 'Kick Ass". I'd buy another to SLI over a 560.

Mid range, even the 1GB version. It's the same speed as the 6850 which I think most would say is mid range as well. It's a bit tricky as some would consider it the start of the high end cards.

I just don't see the price/performance ratio between a 560 and a 460, especialy if you can SLI 460's.
Why are peeps so enamored with huge frame rates?
Can you really see a difference?
Multi monitors need more pixel power, but how many peeps run 2 or 3 monitors? Does it REALLY give them the jiggys they need yo say they can run 5760X1600 (or whatever)?
Gimme a freakin' BREAK!
The GPU marketers are doing a really good job selling you stuff which does nothing to improve the value of your gaming experience.

I never said SLI'd GTX460s aren't mid range. That would be just faster then a GTX480/570. High end cards there. Why do you need more then a GTX460? Here is a review that includes a GTX460 768MB. How does it do in these games?

AVP, 25FPS

Crysis, 24FPS

Metro 2033, 19FPS

There are three games that the GTX460 768MB can't do 30FPS, let alone the 60FPS avg that most games want. That's even a single screen. GPU marketers aren't trying to sell me anything other then better frame rates.
