    I just bought one from Newegg with a deal for subscribers. Would have bought 2 if the 10% promo wasn't capped at $50.

    Happy Shopping.

    EDIT: Ha, this was my devils post :eek:

    Didn't the 4xx series just come out like 6-months ago? This is nuts.

    It just took them that much longer to make the 480 "the way it was meant to be made" ;)

    I wonder how many 4xxx users feel shafted by Nvidia.

    I don't know why 4xxx should feel shafted? You can buy a 460 for under $200 and when I went to Newegg's website the GTX 580 cost $559 :eek:

    That's way too much for a card IMO but if someone has money to spend I say go for it but I usually shoot for mid-level upgrades because technology changes too fast. I recently bought an ATI 6870 for $250. I'm OK with that. :)

    HardOCP GTX580
    FTA:"There is some new hardware monitoring circuitry you need to be aware of. The GeForce GTX 580 has a few new chips on the board that monitor real-time voltage on each 12V rail. This new hardware will dynamically adjust performance in certain stressful applications like FurMark and OCCT to keep the video cards power within its TDP. The goal of this is so that people do not damage their video cards or push the GPU beyond its limits, or at least that is what NVIDIA told us. We have our own thoughts that NVIDIA wanted to remove these software applications from reviewers' use as certainly these apps had the ability to show Fermi GPUs in a not-so-pretty light. Either way, these stressing programs are off the table for now.
    "

    Shouldn't all this be in the desktop site, I need to regis for that :eek:.
