The performance boost is pretty big, a 570 for 100 bucks is a really good deal. Their both good cards and the 670 defiantly beats the 570, but the 100$ the 570 is a really good deal.

is the price gap worth it for the 670

probably not. But the 570 is really going to be showing it's age next year. If it isn't the 2.5gb model, which I doubt it is. You will get a lot of ram bottlenecks.

If you have $$ you should, otherwise you'll be kicking yourself
for not getting it in the next few weeks.

On an earlier thread the OP was ecstatic he could get a used 570 for $155,
so either way I think you do well here.

If you're willing to wait and save up some more over the next few weeks. I would wait for the next 700/8000 series cards. 670 released at 499$ and I'm sure AMD's flagships will release cheaper than that. But yeah the 570 is not a bad card and to be honest if your planning on not buying another card for a couple more years then I would spend the extra money on the 670.
