These two 580's...

[JCBenton]

I was just wondering why this: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1536...5-gpu-782mhz-shader-1544mhz-512-cores-hdmi-dp

...is cheaper than this: http://www.scan.co.uk/products/1536...82mhz-shader-1544mhz-512-cores-mhdmi-dl-dvi-i

Is it merely because the directcu-ii's a lot larger, and that we're paying extra for the smaller dimensions of the second? Or is the directcu-ii cooler not really all bells and whistles?

Thanks.

The DirectCU did cost more on Scan (430-450) but they recently brought the price down, I'm guessing the triple slot meant it really didn't sell well and they may perhaps want to get rid of them quicker? Especially when the Twin Frozr OC is 400 and has better clocks.

Have been keeping my eye on that page for the last couple weeks, and hopefully only a couple more.
