    I think they just plonked it in the replace the 6870 but didn't do anything about the price. Also you can configure it with 3D. Looks like maybe Dell have allowed 3D vision on all support GPUs which bodes well for aftermarket gtx 580m's

    Finally, hopefully the 460M will die off now.

    Oh, wow.

    Alienware.co.uk has absolutely no ATI cards! AND the 460m is more expensive than the 560m...!

    Not sure what you're seeing but I was seeing the stock AMD card available with ALL monitor options (900p, 1080p 60hz, 1080p 120Hz 3D), same for the 460M and 580M.

    trust me, I built and saved essentially ever possible combo going to check prices! All three have been options for at least 10 days and checking again now, the options are still there after hard refreshing the browser.

    That link just takes me to the standard dell store I used for mine, tried again and you can choose either Full HD screen, the 60hz or the 120hz one?
