BIG thanks to all you 600 early adopters! Friday, May 11, 2012 9:28 AM (permalink)
I just picked up my third EVGA GTX580 3GB from eBay for $369 including sipping.
 
VERY happy now as it is a much bigger performance bump than I was expecting.
 
That is all.
 
William.

      Don't tell me that now lol !!!!!
       
      It's OK, I actually bought it about three weeks ago and it was the cheapest I could find then.

                Good deal man.
                 
                But yeah, here on the EVGA Marketplace. I've seen them for $280-ish. :)

                  For the 3GB model??
                   
                  I'd buy a 4th for that price.

                    I'm running 6424x1152 surround so that option would have meant selling my 2x 580's and picking up 3x 670 4GB's at $470ea. plus three new waterblocks.
                     
                    Believe me I weighed all my options and costs.

                      Yup. Have you applied to join the Marketplace?
                       
                      Here's the cheapest in the Market on here at the moment, but if you wait around, I bet some will pop up for like $300 or so again.

                          Sold my 3 x 3GB 580s + DD waterblock for each installed for 1k to a nice guy on the forums:)
                           
                          It hurt me, but I didn't really use them anymore.  Those cards are wonderful.
