Hi there, I am looking to upgrade my aging GTX280 SLI setup as I want some DX11 action in my games, and I am currently tied between either just buying a GTX480, or go the full hog and get a 580 instead.
From what I have seen online these cards are practically the same thing, apart from the 480 missing some CUDA cores, and having slightly lower clocks, but regardless of this, when I get my new card it will be going under water immediately, so none of this really matters.
The price of a 580 plus waterblock and back plate is going to set me back a considerable amount of money compared to buyingh an Asus GTX480 and the EK block and backplate.
My dad has a paid of GTX480s in SLI and it destroys anything my maching struggles with, so would I be right to say that I'd be better off just grabbing a GTX480 over the 580 or not?
Cheers
