Keep gtx580 or wait for 28nm?

Use it and sell it if you want to upgrade. Sell it a week before the new series comes out to keep the resale value. I got back every penny on my 295 when I did this.

How do you time that? I usually find out the day of the launch.

Keep it. Then if you want to upgrade just sell it and put that cash towards the newer technology.

Definitely, so I can hit 200fps instead of the 85 I have now. :awe:

The Lightning 580 is one of the best video cards out there, I'd use and enjoy it, the 28nm stuff is still far off. You will easily get $300 (or more) for it when 28nm benchmarks come out.

If you do not want to keep it.
Sell it to me.

There will be credible rumors about a month before launch. Box shots will be out 1-2 weeks before launch. Visit the forums here regularly and there will be a thread dedicated to it. One of the UK retailers usually has pre-launch pictures of their stock but that is a little late to sell at that point. I recommend doing a buy it now on ebay to sell it more quickly.
