This card will likely be Nvidia's top offering in the single GPU segment for a little bit longer to come until Kepler comes to battle the 7970. But if you're in the market for a card right now, get a 7970 instead. And if you really need physx, look up third party drivers that allows you to use an older and cheaper Nvidia card just for that purpose.

The only game I found so far that will make a single GTX580 stutter is Batman Archam City. By the way, it comes with the card. Overclocks great on air. Prior to putting a HeatKiller GPU-X3 water block on it, I wanted to see how far I could push it on air.
Well, I can assure you the reports that the 3GB GTX580 doesnt overclock as well as the 1536MB variety, are false. Not in the case of this card anyways.

coming from a 2 year old computer to my new rig I can say this EVGA Nvidia GTX 580 runs everything smooth like butter on my new 23 inch asus 120Hz 3D ready monitor, I can runs everything over 60fps in stereoscopic 3D except Metro 2033 and that alone for a single video card is outstanding, I will be waiting for Battlefield 3 to come out till I figure out if I want another one of those baby's to pump SLI in action.
bought 2 of these and running them on SLI. this video card is a beast. playing battlefield 3 beta on ultra settings and it's handling every detail smoothly, cant wait to play skyrim with this video card. highly recommend this card to anyone who can afford it that is looking for a true directx 11 experience
