I don't see anything to get overly excited about.

I agree, however I just bought one of these 2 minutes ago.

There is nothing wrong with it, it's just not the step up that Nvidia claims it is.

I was hoping for a 1K core chip for the 5xx series and instead we get these stop-gap products.

Nvidia and Intel are both on a tick/tock cycle.

2010 shrink the die size 2011 new architecture 2012 shrink the die size

Nvidia and Intel are both going to put out really high performance chips on the new architecture before the die shrink, but I am not going to buy them so it's irrelevant. An i5-2500 + GTX 560 are a great price / performance match and things are not going to really change much for another year.

A $250 graphics card that actually can play literally any title you throw at it, at reasonably high res and eye candy turned up.

For how long? I paid $500 or so for my Radeon HD 4870x2 around 2 years ago, and it's done everything you described since then. In my experience, getting high end video cards is a better choice in the long run.
