Exclamation 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

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 ........

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 : 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

This sucks
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

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.
