So, the 580 came out in Australia today. Here's some benchmarks for anyone interested.

Benchmarks
Metro 2033 (DX11)
Just Cause 2 (DX10)
Unigine: Heaven v2.0 (DX11)
Unigine: Heaven - Normalized Tessellation Performance
Core Temperature & Acoustics

The specs for the test setup can be found here

PCCG have the EVGA, Gainward, Gigabyte and Inno3D versions of the reference design. All are going for $699

i was wondering if one of these would be worth it, only time will tell

$599 at PC DIY for gigabyte

Looks good, but waiting for ATI

Blame Texas Instruments for it not being out until the 29th (meant to be out on the 22nd)
