****Official GTX580 user reviews/benchmarking/overclocking thread****

100% looks like it was rushed to beat AMD to the punch, thing is if they are desperate to get them out this quick maybe they know the new AMD cards are going to kurb stomp the 580/570.
 
Fact is there is some stock out there from the first batch shipped but not much, looking around at the popular retailers stock has all but dried up. IMO Nvidia have failed big time with the launch of the 580, it could just be unmanufacturable in any high quantity.
 
same here delayed till december 17th now if 6970 will be close in price and performance then ill cancel the order on 13th

:confused:

I am tempted at this price but anything too good to be true is.

What I suspect we are getting is the pricing of the 580 cards once ATI release their cards and or nvidia drop the dual gpu on one PCB as well.

Both of these things will drive the price of the GTX580 down.

If the ati 6970 is faster or the same and aggressively priced then it would make sense.

Amazon aren't selling any more until after ATI release date so. While you think you are getting a good deal. You are only getting a good deal for 2 weeks at which point the pricing will be this across all etailers.

Well done to those that are confident the 580 will be the best card after 13th december and got it at the reduced price early.

It's a risk for a 2 week gain. Not sure one I am willing to take.

Remember this is a business they can't afford to sell cards £100 less than OCuk without a good reason.
 
bit not fair how people ordered later then my self and got it , i guess they not honoring the order numbers maybe they shipping first for those who ordered two of them.
