Difference between 570 & 580?

[Red Alert]

Hello all,

Just bought myself a nice new 570 card, not even installed it yet as had a bit going on in real life this week. Anyway, I put my old card, the free batman game and a few bits on that auction site and got a few quid more than expected.

I can still DSR the 570 and could now get myself a 580 with the extra cash. Would this be much of a difference given that I game at 1080p with no 3d or dual monitor set up?

Just needing a little guidance in if the gains from the 580 are really worth it or stick with the 570 and spend that extra cash on something else?

Cheers,
Mike

Nymins - yeah I had thought about the free game. However if I was getting another Nvidia card with the promo I am sure I could just ask to take the new free game from the new card.

I don't have the cash for another 570 I don't think. Would 570 in SLI not be overkill for my usage anyway? Can't imagine Skyrim is going to be too brutal on the system

I think I may well go for the 580 - then if the need ever arises I can SLI it. But I should be set for the next few years at the very least.

Thanks every one for the help. After thinking about it I might as well keep the 570 and if ever needed just SLI it. However as I have the extra cash at the moment, I feel a new case is perhaps in order. But that is a thread for the case section.
