Fastest, most powerful nVidia GTX 580...

Another vote for the asus here. Got mine upto 950. Did get toasty so took it back down to 900, but definately stable at 950 when the fan was at full

Voltage was around 1.135'ish, and can be pushed to 1.2, so with cooling, who knows where it would stop

q6600, did you feel any differences when it was at 1010? Any benchmarks ran? Considering getting mine under water, but for £75 a pop, not convinced its worth it (plus, removing the cooler, adding more heat to my loop etc etc)

Cheers
 
Get a stock card and overclock - overclocking is free, which is why it first came around - a free performance boost. Paying the extortionate EVGA fee for 20Mhz is a bit silly.
 
As the others have stated, unless they stated they use better bin chips, then get the cheapest 580 and overclock it yourself. Something with overvolting too if you want to overclock it further. All the current chips should clock about the same anyway.
I recommend using MSI Afterburner to overclock the card :)
