Mr Kennedy has it, I've been checking other websites every day for about a week now and overclockers at this current time is the only place to have it in stock. I try to avoid the place due to bad reviews but when I've had to order from them I haven't run into any trouble with them in particular.

Thanks a lot :] Are there any US retailers? If not, I'll go through overclockers UK.

NCIXus has the lightning and it would be alot easyer/cheaper on postage + no import tax or what ever to get it from NCIXus to the us than from overclockers to the us, would would also end up paying 170 USD more just for the card from overclockers

Hunta, you da man! :]

Your absolute right. I just really want this card, so I would have been prepared to ship it from the UK.

They only thing I'm a little concerned about is that they don't really have a description or pictures on the site. All the stats match, but I just want to make sure this is in fact the card I'm looking for since there are version with the Twin Frozr II as well.

I beleave they have a free phone number in the top right of the page? might be worth giving them a ring just to confirm thats the one.

 

[nyden]

Yep, calling them tomorrow morning :] Thanks again for recommending that site.

I meant the MSI Radeon 6970 Lightning. The specs on that card seem to be somewhat higher and the card is alot cheaper, atleast where i shop

From what ive seen the 6970 pulls ahead of the gtx 570 slightly, its pretty much inbetween the 570 and the 580 but loesing out to the 570 9/10 times in physics heavy games, personaly id go with the 580 over the 6970 unless the 6970 was under the price of a 570 by a fair bit.

Hello,

I am from Europe and will be travelling to Florida next month. I am looking for an IT shop either in Miami, Orlando or Fort Lauderdale where I could get a MSI GTX580 Lightning. I have been searching on the Internet but I am not able to find a place where I could get it. Any suggestions ?

Thanks in advance for your help
