    Seems there's been quite a bit of questions regarding the previous flagship 485M vs the new flagship (possibly?) 580M.

    What if we have the 470M? Worth an upgrade or not?

    If you upgrade from 470M to 580M, I think it will not be that cost effective specially that you wouldn't be able to sell your used cards for a good price (580M standalone costs $900 shipped)
    But If from 470M SLI to 580M SLI, at least you will have a performance boot for a lower cost ($720 per each 580M)

    please do not upgrade your machine until gtx680m is shipped

    we all know your upgrade costs is enough to buy a deluxe desktop

    why don't you beat 580m-sli 100% in 2012 Q1 ?

    I think a 485 only live for 180 days and die quickly ,

    so I suggest not upgrading the x7200 till 28nm is upcoming

    A member of NBR from Taiwan , upgrade 480-sli to 485-sli on X7200, just for 2 month and then OUT now.

    should he upgrade them once again ???

    I don't think so .

    Nope,I didn't order that. I was just posting after reading all the opinions on the 580M.

    Not that I'm not happy with this beast, but always desiring more... ;)

    Exactly.
    He upgraded to 485mSLI from 480mSLI.
    And he orders 580mSLI now.
