How much is the GTX 580 for you? It's available at $370 in the US and would be a better card for slightly less money.

Other than that, you could get a GTX 570 for a bit less money, though it's a weaker card. Or, you could wait for Kepler and see what happens - I dunno when Kepler's midrange line will be released, but it's likely it would help keep prices down/competitive.

give me a brand or two of gtx580 you want the price for.

It's one of the Galaxy gtx 580s -

It's $370 USD after MIR, so I'm guessing that the price isn't as good in Korea

Is the 7950 available at $450 USD equivalent for you or is that price inflated too?

galaxy 580 is not available yet, but average is about $580 USD (converted from ROK won)

7950 averages about $530 USD (also converted from ROK won)

1 USD is about 1127.00 won. yes the prices are more expensive even after converting

Yeah, I'd say you should just wait for Kepler and hope that either AMD or Nvidia tries to start a price war to push prices down.

yea, and i also thought of getting 560ti since their price will drop soon enough, but feels like i will regret not getting 78xx or 6xx
