Its gotta be the warranty- to be entitled to a watercooled card of 580 speed for ten years...at first glance the price is madness but it actually does make some sense.

Definitely aimed at the 'If you have to ask how much it costs....' type of client.

You gotta pay for the best applies to everything lol
yet another case of rip off britain, as going by the exchange rate it should be ~£450(even if you add vat @20% to that it shouldn't be more than £550).
you can get a good brand pre-oced gtx580 + a waterblock and still be left with change.

Totally worth it. Just for the 3d mark 11 that comes with it. You heard me right. Im not going to buy that benchmark

What's the go with nvidia at the moment? 580/570 low in stock and the 480/470 being phased out the prices haven't moved at all.
I'm a self confessed nvidia fan who's in the Market to update from my gtx260 but finding it hard to find value for money.

for value for money you'll have to switch sides and go with a 6950 unlockd to 6970. the gtx480 can be had for £250 if you must stick to nvidia, only thing/s is/are the heat produced and power requirement compared to the similar performance gtx570. if you're water cooling than the heat shouldn't be an issue as much.

Stock of 570 is fine, 580 seems to be making a comeback as well.
