Well I suppose I have mixed feelings on the cards.

On the one hand they perform quite well, overclock rather amazingly (925/2175) however it would seem hardly if any games use over the 2GB vRAM and the performance it offers against dual 6970s and their cost laves me wondering if they were really worth it.

I can throw anything at these cards and they eat it up, I suppose I was just hoping for a lot more then perhaps what the added vRam offered to the standard 580 based on their overall cost.

Ah okay. Sorry about that, since I'm one who voted for the 580 3GB's.

Eh, it happens. I technically have a downgrade lined up, just a matter of getting someone to purchase the 580s off me first. IF i can't i'll stick with them
