I've actually seen the GTX 480s going for $249 lately which is hot IMO. A pair of them in SLI would be a force to be reckoned with.

I also saw an open-box GTX 580 for $330 the other day.

<--------- Hot deals

For that price i would get a 570/6970

I wouldnt. the 570s have circuitry and VRM issues, if its a reference card. That MSi 480 would be awesome to have. Would run a hell of a lot cooler and quieter and probalby overclock pretty good. But Heat(of the GF100 itself) and Efficiency is the only part that bothers me

Da hell a 480 run cooler then a 500 series?

Really?? Did u miss the Hitler trolls about pushing 1 button and ending up nuking germany with tri sli 480's?

I dont think so.... if that was the case, i would be on 480's and not 580's and a 450ti and not 550ti. :hmm:

Im with football here.... 570 or AMD counterpart FTW!

WTF!

Thats 100 less then what i paid for my second one, and 170 less then what i paid for my first one.

Where u see that? for that price i wouldnt mind getting a third one.

I agree for similar cash the gtx 570 being a better option than the older gf100 gtx 480. Take a look at Steam Survey, a hellavalotta 570's have been sold. Hearing about a few that o/c's have blown up (trying to make them faster than 580's) is not totally shocking.

no i meant as a whole. the Twin Frozr 480 is cooler then the other 480s. And the price makes it a worthy buy
