EVGA GTX 580 Classified released
 
Not sure when they hit, but there are now 3 or 4 versions of it available on EVGA.com.

Too rich for me :ohcrap:

In all my online gaming experience I just have not found any measurable difference between video cards beyond a certain point. A total waste of good money if that be your objective in my opinion. I have tried untold combinations of video cards...ATI, Nvidia, SLI, Crossfire, clocked or not and have found no real difference in game play vs just one decent mid-range card. Some may provide a prettier picture, but no advantage for game play.

I agree Rick,

I think it has a better power delivery for overclockers....

I think they may be shooting for the Lightning market share to pay for Vince and Tin ........ :laughing:

Time will tell if they start busting Linghtning world records or not with them

I have to think eVGA will get these in the hands of some skilled individuals

If i could afford one, and if I were to buy one, it would immediately be stripped down and a LN2 pot strapped to the side of it :rofl: Total waste for gaming like you say, and who knows - may be a waste for overclocking. Strange, they haven't sent me one to test yet :taunt:

This sucks :ohcrap:
Two or three years ago I would have just ordered up three on release date (no 4 way back then), now <sigh> I don't have a chance in hell of buying even 1 ... sucks being unemployed and not be able to do what you want like you used to :thumbdown:

Lovin my GTX 560 Ti, lol. $600 is too much for me. I made the mistake once spending $525 on the GTX 295. Kicked myself in the ass on that purchase. The most I would be willing to pay for a GPU now is $350 with $400 being the max. If anyone has a GTX 580 they want to get rid of for one of these let me know. :D

Lol...with all the cards I have sold lately I still have three GTX 295's. :taunt:
