When do the low end 600 series come out (I've heard May)? A 28nm Kepler might be a good successor to the 520 hopefully with more CUDA cores.

Also 10bit decoding (in hardware) might not ever be available with these cards that are out now.

Good call...
That would be interesting.

Think I will have to wait a bit
Just the noise irritates me massively.
When watching something its not too bad, but idle or with nothing on, its pretty darn loud.

Thats a nice card.
PNY or EVGA so far for me.

The EVGA has HDMI 1.4a which is nice
Any other suggestions?

You'll be happy with either one....and both are equipped with HDMI 1.4 which can do 3d and bitstreaming.......

I got a 520.
It's not bad, i haven't found anything incompatible yet.

But the passive Version of Zotac (the zotac zone) has an enormous heatsink!
Really its about 3 cm taller than a full size pci-e card.

btw: It seems to get much hotter in linux (~70c) than in windows (~60c).
Any explanations for that? Or is it just wrong at windows/linux?

The GT640 looks interesting.
Will need to wait until something gets released.
