GTX 580? Is it a good GPU?

[Nathan Willis]

Hey,
What do you all think about the GTX 580?
My budget is $130 USD and a friend is going to sell me his GTX 580.

I know it is not the best, but that is all I need.
Anything is better then my 8600 GT.
I'm getting a corsair TX 750 watt V2 PSU, so power is not a problem.
Can you recommend any better cards for that much? ($130)
Any card I get will need to have dual analog out.
I'm running 2x VGA monitors. DVI-I will work.
Thanks.

its outdated but for $130 you are not going to find anything better. grab it.

EDIT: it will still play games on max. to buy a new card that will do what that card can you would have to spend $300

That is what I thought.

That's a fair deal for $130.

Your alternatives would be the R7 260X at $110, and the R9 270 at $185, which are weaker and roughly equal cards, respectively.

I had looked at those two cards, but they have only 1x analog out. (1x DVI-I)

I think I will go for it. In time I could get a second one and run them in SLI.

That or run if for as long as you can then upgrade to the new x80 or x70 when you have to.that card is massive be sure you can fit 2 first.
