Crazy is as crazy does!

I have video card envy right now. I found this little hot number on Newegg. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Produc...scrollFullInfo
I currently have the SLI setup in my sig. I game occasionally at 1080p. I could sell my video cards and probably "upgrade" for $140. Eventually I could add a second one. I just think it is a cool gpu with the AC Accelero Xtreme Plus cooler already installed.

What do you all think? If I end up doing this, I am going to start my own website... "lookatthecrazycrapido.com".

Why would you upgrade now when 28nm cards are just around the corner?

This.

For those that don't follow gpu releases very closely, how close is "just around the corner?"

No one knows.

My guess: Q3 at the earliest.

There has been absolutely nothing indicating 28nm is around the corner. I hear this advice weeks after a new series launch all the time, it took a year for AMD to release the 6 series on the same process as the 5 series. There hasn't been even a whisper of ES's being seen by anyone, anywhere.

edit: We just saw the launch of the 6770 to retail, IMO, you won't see a model to replace that in that price tier for a minimum of 6 months. Who knows about the flagship cards.

edit: That gtx 580 looks like a beast

I think the better argument is that GTX580 is nearly a sidegrade to SLI GTX460 1gb, unless you are noticing microstutter.

excuse me... i dont think so..

My 580GTX will slap silly a 460 any day of the week unless were looking at piss resolution of 1024x768.

Infact a 560 will even slappy silly a 460 any day of the week.

And u want to bring out a 580 into the mix?

You did see he said SLI? My cards are clocked at 900MHz. He may have a point.

I'm pretty sure they're 1GB models as well since thy're MSI Cyclones.

I hear you OP. I'm very, very satisfied with the performance of my 5870 CF set up (despite my Phenom II). But, something like a GTX580 temps me just because I want somehting different for no sane reason. I'm going to try and hold out to the 28nm cards, but I understand the temptation.

no i didnt.. totally a good point if its 2 vs 1.
Then yes i would agree with his statement.

My apologies to the Poster.
