Well yeah, so does my 275 still, but I don't get very good fps anymore. Can't run AA/AF in most games and even still only get between 25-32fps, many times as low as 18-25. Depends on the settings. Also the 275 just doesn't seem to like the latest nVidia drivers for the past yr now, the control panel keeps freezing up and I can't change anything in there unless I go all the way back to their 266 release, and sometimes it damn near freezes my PC where I can't even open Task Manager.
Too late though, as I finally decided to take the plunge and purchased an EVGA GTX 580 a few hours ago with overnight shipping from Amazon. Its been the last piece I needed to finish my build for over a year now, and while quite expensive, so was everything else so it only makes sense to follow suit and finally be done with it! Money will be a little tight for the next month, but I also don't have any bills or any pressing projects that require a lot of money going out either. {Paid off the carpet my step-father bought in advance for me too...}
And if I actually get into FFXIV this summer with all the changes, I'd greatly prefer to be able to play it at more than 14-18fps and thats on some really low settings already. Plus there are a ton of games already out that I'll be able to enjoy more, not to mention SW:TOR and ESV: Skyrim later this year, that I'll be more than ready for now...hehe!
I'll be sure to post some pics of it once installed and report my performance in FFXIV!
