What makes you say that? I don't necessarily disagree but I'm interested to know your reasoning

I am waiting for new Nvidia 28nm cards, can't see any point for buying this one.

Look at the price

 

[S_I_N]

its only 50$ more than the vanilla version

Look at the price

Well, All their prices are in Dollars so the actual prices may be a bit off for the UK (which is where I am) but for sake of simplicity on newegg you can get a Zotac gtx580 with 3gb of Ram for $544.99 and the EVGA Classified gtx580 with 3gb of ram is $599.99. A $55 difference which covers the improved Heatsink/fan, a factory overclock, greater OCing headroom and EVGA's renowned Customer Service and Warranty.

I have seen far, far worse price-performance ratio's than this.

It's f***ing ugly as hell, well at least the fan model does.

 

[JesseLactin]

I'm interested in the waterblocked versions performance (cooling wise)

 

[KING_OF_SAND]

Well it's pretty much EVGA classified vs MSI lightning.

What, No Matrix Platinum?

the eVGA 580 sc (or wahtever it is called) costs 176£ mor than a MSi lightning in denmark, so i can only imagine this will also be heavily overpriced here in denmark

good lord, thats quite a mark up! Daylight Robbery!

All three of them then. They are all VERY high end. and designed from the ground up to be super super overclocked.

@ King_of_Sand, yes it is ugly I would just get the unclassified GB edition.

@Lollipop, can you link the MSI version of 3GB GTX580 with the built in waterblock please? I can't find the price for that one. When I look at the unclassified EVGA 3GB GTX vx the MSI version, here in canada, MSI is $20 more expensive (that's the ones without waterblocks)

It looks like WallE got trodden on
