GTX580@$500 vs GTX560@$160x2=$320 is NOT SAME PRICE. I picked up a Gigabyte 560 OC for $160 AR and will get another ASAP. I just sold my 460 since it can't handle BF3 and I wanted a new 5 series. The 560 SLI will beat a 580! I bought a $60 OCZ 60gb SSD for my Z68 mobo to use as a cache, making my system much faster to relieve any stuttering. Much more cost effective than pissing $ away for a single 580! Also, if 1 560 goes bad, I can still use the other while RMA it. Don't listen to all the crap about using a single card out of convenience, unless you always upgrade to next gen card to look cool. I just want performance and SLI will give you that for many years. You will probably upgrade you CPU before needing to upgrade GPU's...
check the date on the thread you just necrod...
there was no regular gtx560 at that time and the gtx560ti was 250 bucks.
