GTX 580 or GTX 570 Phantom

[ethilen]

hi guys,,I am planning on buying GTX 580,,,but I have doubt about choosing between GTX 570 Phantom or GTX 580 considering their prices,,,,in my country,GTX 570 Phantom is around 500$,,but GTX 580 is around 700$,,,,Is it worth it? I know that GTX 580 is better than GTX 570 Phantom,,,but will I see much difference in gaming?? I compared their benchmarks and saw that there is little difference between their numbers shown in charts,,,please help me as I dont want to choose without consulting,,,THANKS in advance

well the gtx 580 will last you a good while and so will the 570. i mean unless you need like 2560 x 1600 and in like 3d then i think the 570 should be okay

570 all the way man, the phantom only gets like 10-15fps loss compared to the 580.. its really not worth the $200 in your case friend

It stinks that the difference is 200 dollars. I would recommend the GTX 570 in your case.

Have you considered waiting for the HD 7950? Should be around 450 dollars and perform similar or better than a GTX 580.

^^ better idea if your willing to wait
