EVGA GTX 570s

[Virt]

Quick question really, but are the Evga GTX 570s becoming hard to find? If so, why?

I'd like to buy another EVGA GTX570 and SLI it with my current card for BF3 when is released. I'd love to buy from Overclockers, but they don't seem to stock them anymore!?

Edit: If I couldn't find buy an original non-superclocked version of the card, would I be able to SLI the one that I currently have (stock, non-superclocked) and a superclocked card?

Edit2: Is SLI'ing from two different vendors a viable option?

You could but the speed of the faster card would be reduced to the speed of the slower card.

Thanks for the reply

The difference between the two isn't anything to write home about anyway. I wouldn't be so worried about that.

I assume that I could just overclock both up to the same level?

U can sli with different vendors and differently clocked cards, the cards will run at the lower clock speed tho unless u can achieve the higher overclock with the stock card, the chips need to be the same as for the memory, as for evga and overclockersUK i think they have stopped selling them, the only evga card i can find in their list is a GTX480, evga cards are in high demand and maybe this lack of availability is why they have stopped stocking them.
Damn, beat me too it
Edit: yes u can overclock the slower card upto the higher clocked one.

Okay, that's good to know. I hope that there'll still be ample GTX 570s available for purchase after the Summer

Shame OcUK seem to have stopped with the EVGA - just when a competitor strikes a partnership with EVGA. I'll have to buy from them

Yeh plenty of Evga 570 around, just not on here.

It's a shame really.

By the way Cleeecooo, I've sent a message through your trust.
