If I was completely insane (Raven, Rroff type of insane) I'd buy one of these at £380

First one to get me a decent review that compares it to 2x460 SLi *doesn't* get a punch in the face

Hmmmm, on the Toms review it says:
GTX580
TMU's - 64
ROPs - 48
Yet on the OCUK shop page it says:
64 ROPS (GTX 480 had 48 ROPS)
128 TMUs (GTX 480 had 64 TMUs)

You're not going to wait to see what the 69xx cards bring?
I will see. I can always take it back under the long distance selling agreement.
Should get it by friday. Gives me the weekend to play with it.
And if AMD dont let out some juicy specs by then..........

The hardocp review was the one i was looking to as it is real world gaming and shows the gtx580 to be a little better than most other reviews. Canned benchmark reviews show us nothing really so for me this card is a little better than expected. I also like there gaming sweet as all the games are up to date.

It would be tempting to get one to play with, but tbh I'm in business myself & know it's not very nice for the retailer to pay for my 'playtime'
Plus if you do it more than once or twice i'm guessing you get blacklisted

No thanks, not paying that price for a refresh of a 480.
Max should be around £370, considering it doesn't offer a massive improvement over the 480 and anyone who overclocks there current 480 will just about match the 580.
There was me thinking that the pricing might actually be good for nvidia cards for once
, really should have known that they would have been £400+ in the first place. Although at least they aren't charging £460+ on the release like they usually do.
Roll on AMD, show them how to price graphics cards correctly.

So come on then.. when is the GTX570 going to show up then. That's the one most people will really be buying if it's on the cards
