hmmm, to buy or not to buy, that is the question.

MooMoo444 · 14 Jan 2011 at 21:39

That's an absolute gem for an OC version, MSI too.

If I didnt already have one, I'd of bought this for sure! Sadly 580 SLI is slightly overkill for my needs.

Rofflay · 15 Jan 2011 at 09:39

mine! did not get free delivery though so i had to pay £414 even though i am a full month of ordering all my parts.i hope i have not made a mistake!

i said if they went to £399 i would nab one

Andrew Moore · 15 Jan 2011 at 09:41

Damn! Under £400.. I said Id wait but I'm thinking I now may not..

Rofflay · 15 Jan 2011 at 09:47

its got higher clocks than the EVGA superclocked thats what sold me in the vein hope its better silicon for 950mhz on air!

*edit* these are very hard to find on google and all i found was a website where someone had one and it did not have the proper overclocked settings as default.so whoever buys one and has a psu to pre test let us know if its stable and has the proper core mhz!

From my experience of the MSi cards so far such as the 460s, 470s, 480s etc they usually clock better but this is 100% down to luck of the draw 'Im afraid. Seeing it factory clocked at those speeds is reassuring though!

Rofflay · 15 Jan 2011 at 10:04

yea i agree and the fact its going to have a higher re sell value when kepler lands next christmas

i expect these will be sold out by tomorrow :cool:

Yup.

marc1024 · 15 Jan 2011 at 22:39

tell you what, i pay for shipping as long as i get free card

sounds like a deal?

griffo_001 · 15 Jan 2011 at 22:50

Why does this come up while I'm out of the country

This is cheeky, but if I order this now and select a delivery date when I'm back do I still get it at this awesome price?

Tath · 15 Jan 2011 at 23:01

Thanks to the OP for posting up this offer! I've been hovering over buying a 580 all day and I finally decided to.

I will no longer have to suffer the heat put out by the 4870x2 currently installed.

As long as the payment is cleared by Monday, I would guess that you will still get the good price.

It'd clear by Monday if OCUK take the payment on Monday rather than just before OCUK ship it, which is I guess the question I should have asked in the first place

580GTX is good at that price. The benchmarks by tweaktown are amazing in SLI and in 3dmark11 they score P10,432/X3,597.

In either single or SLI setup, your getting good performance for your hard earned cash.

A 2600k+5970+5870 scores P11,141 in 3dmark11 so it isn't as clearcut as Nvidia would hope. I know that Ati setup is actually three GPUs, but they are clocked lower with less bandwidth.

Rofflay · 16 Jan 2011 at 13:11

well if it makes any difference my payment has yet to show up on credit card and i ordered on like friday

i cant wait im going from a 2.8 dual core 8800 gtx to a sandy bridge and 580 gtx

Darkman · 16 Jan 2011 at 14:55

Damn that Gibbo. I'd only just got my GTX 570 and he pulls this stunt.

Thank goodness for DSR.

Ryan-3 · 16 Jan 2011 at 17:07

Ain't they releasing their Frozr II Cooler on the 570 & 580 soon?
