Just before 1:30pm, which was before Gibbo posted that stock was running low. The order took about 5 minutes to complete because the site was very slow.

I ordered mine about same time as you EVGA model yet it's on Printed in Warehouse status still has been for 30mins or something.

If it doesn't change by 4pm i probably switch to Zotac/MSI.

Please don't. It's just such a waste of money. I really can not see how you could be having any problems in any game at 1080p with your existing card, and you will have your balls ripped off if you try and sell your 580 now, especially with green fever being so high.
 
If your current graphics cards are good enough, then either wait for a price drop or even for the refresh of these cards in about 8-12 months time.

I actually might pick up a pair of 1.5 Gb GTX 580s ... if they come down a lot like the GTX 480s did the last time.

Eh? a typical plastic blower assembly is pretty?

Stop with the green fever, man.

Honestly, calm down. Let the red team answer (it won't be long) and I think you will find that the 680 could well end up rather exposed.

You alright mate lol? Im as calm as a cucumber. I said I was tempted, never said I would. Not to mention im skint.
 
Phoned up and got my order changed to the MSI model - very short wait and handled within a minute. Very efficient. I was told it should still arrive tomorrow.
 
BTW. I have just had a thought.

Gibbo said that the card hit 1200mhz in Heaven. Had he overclocked it?

Correct me if I am wrong, but for the past few months Nvidia could have simply sat at a bench running tests and then adjusting the clocks to make sure the 680 won in benchmarks.

IE, could this dynamic overclocking be deliberately driver based to make sure the card clocks up enough to beat the 7970 in tests?

I'm not saying it's not clever, but jesus does it take the fun out of things.
