    Hmmm. Are you looking for the CUDA love, or just lots of points?

    It's almost unbelievable, but you can actually get a HD5870 from Newegg for $250 after rebate now! That's $100 less. Not sure the points difference per day, but it also draws 50watts less under load than the GTX570.

    I know, a fast CUDA card would be sweet, though...If they keep the credits up on PG, it might almost be worth it!

    Im a Nvidia Fanboy for life.. Not once have I ran an ATI card in my rigs.

    Im always looking but never able to justify a high end card right now. Could I at the drop of a hat order up dual 580's ..yup.. just cant figure that 1000 bucks being worth anything to me right now aside from some points .. I just dont game enough/extreme enough to warrant the purchase.

    Ah, I see. Well, you must be LOVING the new PG CUDA app! I'll bet your RAC is going to fly upward if you have solid Nvidia cards!
