Nvidia GTX 580 are in stock at newegg!

They're all almost 600 bucks! Jeez, am I the only broke one here? I thought the economy was bad?! I paid 60$ AR (Frys deal) for my Geforce 250 and it is very fast for everything I play. 10% the price!
If you factor in the 10% off coupon, they're only bumping the price up by $10. Kind of surprising really -- maybe this is an actual hard launch.
So apparently 10% above MSRP is considered a "hot deal" these days?
A hot deal is whatever the lowest price is for that item at the time it was posted.
Forget the fact that a newly released videocard will be expensive by most members standards. The lowest price is the lowest price and there are still many ATers that will purchase at that price.
If you can find a better price post it, if not please lay off the threadcrapping

Actually being anywhere close to MSRP at launch IS pretty hot for Newegg these days!
With the 10% coupon, it's a heck of a card for an OK price. I doubt you will find them much cheaper anywhere else.
The 5970 is still faster in most benchmarks, although that card is hard to come by.

Ehhhh... while that may be a true statement, I had a 4870x2 and while that card was solid as a rock, the performance was fairly hit and miss. My own personal preference is a single, powerful GPU over any multi gpu setup, be that seperate cards or one card w/ 2gpu's. To me, the 580 is Fermi done right... I am trying hard to justify another $500+ GPU purchase, but man, that is a lot of dough.
Just to put it in perspective, I paid $629 for my 4870x2 back in 2008, lol...

There is some unspoken amount of time where a product has to be out before the 'hot deal' price can be established. Like, enough time to let other retailers get their hand on these cards amount of time.

Newegg = Screwegg They jack up their prices and give you 10% to give you the impression of getting a deal.
EVGA is selling the vanilla GTX 580 for $499 - http://www.evga.com/products/prodlist.asp
TigerDirect is cheaper than Screwegg - http://www.tigerdirect.com/applicati...&searchbtn.y=0

Looks like EVGA's site only has the superclocked and the water block versions available at $520 and $700 respectively.

If you're in Calif. just create an account on the CompUSA website and get TD prices without the TAX = $50 savings
Damn... if I didn't blow $120 of my paycheck on two subpar FPS (COD: Black ops & MOH: Tier 1) and a recent $90 TB HDD I could picked up one of these puppies... oh well GTX 470 SC FTW!!
