interesting but doesn't really look to be much of a step up from the gtx 460, so i'll stick with this for a while yet i reckon.

Another to join the thousands of "new" graphics cards around this price/performance bracket? Every week there seems to be a different one announced. So glad I got a 5870 about 18 months ago. It was a lot of money, more than I'd intended to spend, but would appear to still outperform large portions of the graphics card market today (which just feels wrong...). Might even go for another for Crossfire to give me another couple of years out of it.
I may be wrong, but it seems that genuinely new, improved graphics card releases are getting further and further apart...

I sort of agree with the above that I'm not entirely sure theres a gap for this card but I disagree with the above on longevity of graphics cards.

I think the 8800GTX / GT aged very well and so have the 5850/5870. But if you go back cards like the 9700 Pro and 9800XT also lasted a very long time.

Certainly perhaps the lack of a new console generation and the lack of PC only games means that perhaps the hardware hasnt been pushed as hard as in the past, hence slowing development a fraction, but I think its wrong to say that its really significantly slower/faster than in the past.
