Joke, they say in the coming weeks that the GTX600 series cards should be released, thus dropping the price on the GTX500 series, thats what im waiting on. I have 2 9800GT in SLI, so I cant wait to upgrade, Awards

Its E X C E L L E NT, running smooth, really excellent FPS with antialias at 4: fullscreen 1600 x 1250, with screenrefresh at 120 Hz: Black Ops 125 to 200 COd 4 250 to 350 CoD 5 160 to 300 Flewless Crysis 2 in ultimate Video mode, and fullscreen Directx 11..... Be sure to put the maxfps value higher than the standard 80.... Running two of these in SLI with a 350 watts powersupply was a little suicidal Moe .... E X C E L L E N T choice, just love that card.

None of my business, but unless you plan on upgrading your CPU/RAM/motherboard in the next little while, you'll never get the feel of 100% of your 580. That being said, a GTX560Ti ($230), a GTX570 ($300) or a Radeon HD6950 ($260) might be more "balanced"...that would save you $200. You wouldn't see any differences between a mid-range card and a high-end card with the CPU you got now... My Friendly opinion..... Awards

If that is the case and your going to upgrade I would spend 100 bucks more and get the 3gb ram(2x as much as the card in your link) version from EVGA. The egg has it too, and it also was an ar model with lifetime warranty. If you ever go 2 or 3d surround you'll want that extra v-ram!!!!! If just going to get a card for now with no further upgrades I would save some cash and just get a 560ti or a 570. Either of those cards should max all games right now at single monitor resolutions.(excluding metro 2033 and bf3 ) DAMN NICE CARD THOUGH MAN, making my 470's jealous, but I want the 3gb model to boost 2d surround performance.
