    Is the performance really that close between 485m and 580m? Seems way off to me for the prices.

    So if I replace the 460m in my R3 I lose 3D? I can still select 120hz?

    If you replace it with a 560M or 580M you will still be able to do 3D.

    I found out that it seems the 580m will be $730 and the 485M will be $530. I am wondering if it is even worth the price difference to get the 580m over the 480m at this point.
