Gtx 580 ($400) vs gtx 570 ($280). Worth it?

[killer8297]

As the tittle said, I can get a zotec gtx 580 for $400 or a zotec gtx 570 for $280. Is the extra $120 worth it?

What resolution? Probably not.

 

[killer8297]

1080p haha

Get the 570. Great price if you actually get the rebates.

 

[killer8297]

The price is exactly the way it is listed. The reason why I'm considering this is because the gtx 580 is usually $500

I crank every detail with max AA and AA transparency and stay well beyond 60fps at 1080p with 2 580s. One 580 by itself is great. I would go for the single best video card you can get within your budget. $400 is a great deal for that 580 card. I'd recommend that.

the gtx 570 will give you exceptional performance, the gtx 580 has relatively poor price/performance. only go for the 580 if you are a graphics whore and/or you like to waste your money.

GTX 570 overclocks to near 580 performance

Both cards aren't that great at overclocking and someone mentioned about the price/ performance ratio of gtx 580. It's $100 off making it only $400 what more can you ask for?

the gtx 570 is also $70 off. you asked if the gtx 580 is worth the extra $120 or about 40% cost increase. you will get nowhere near a 40% improvement in performance.

+1 - gtx 570 is well worth the 300 bux. 40% increased cost for 10% increased performance for the 580.....

GTX570 imo will be plenty enough for you.
