My situation: I'm headed back to Europe in a couple days and am hoping to take my new sandy bridge pc parts with me. I've picked out a cpu, mobo, ram, everything except my video card.
I've decided to go with sli gtx 570s. While 580s are within my budget, I'm thinking that the increase in performance would be marginal and not worth the $300+ price increase.
Since I only have a couple days left before I leave, my choices are limited. I'm thinking of grabbing the PNY 570s for $346 each, bringing my total to just under $700. I did notice however that newegg had the EVGA gtx 570 superclocked in stock. They retail for $370 plus $15(ish) shipping. With expedited shipping they'd end up costing $100-150 more than the PNYs.
Would I notice a significant increase in performance? This is a gaming oriented PC. I have never OC'ed myself, and have no real interest in doing so.
Thanks in advance.
