When I had 3 of them(tri-sli) I had 2 Evga's (1 sc and the other was a black ops edition) and 1 MSI twin frozr and it worked perfectly so really any other 1.5gb gtx 580 should work fine. Even a 3Gb one would work but only half the ram would be used. If you have a hard time finding one I still have the black ops card(with a gelid icy vision REV 2 cooler installed) sitting on a shelf collecting dust.

If you want my opinion, you're better off selling the gpu and getting a new gpu altogether. a 1.5gb 580 in SLI will be tortured in the high resolution and quality games that are up and coming.

I was looking at other graphics cards and was wondering how people like the Amd cards I see there cheaper then a majority of the nvidia cards. I'm looking for this graphics card to play battlefield 4 and any new games that might come out. I heard that for battlefield 4 I would want atleast 2 gigs of memory on the graphics card and my current only has 1.5 so I think upgrading to a different one might be the best option. Does anyone have any input to help me?
