EVGA GTX 680

$499? Nah I don't game enough for that. When I turn all the modern day crap off like HDR, Bloom etc my 460 handles it just fine.

You know you want to spend some of the moldy money that you have under your bed. :P

Last time I bought the latest and greatest GFX on release was in 2006 when I got a 8800GTS. No point in having the latest anymore with games being more CPU dependent. My i5-2500K was a great investment when it came out.

For $500 I'd rather get myself a nice tablet.

Looks like I found a card I want and am currently debating on when to get it. I wonder if I should wait until they go on sale, at least. lol

FYI if you haven't noticed EVGA doesn't have lifetime warranties anymore.

Yea it's kinda wonky these days. They still have a "limited lifetime warranty" on some products what ever that is, it all comes down to the product code suffixs now.

I never used any type of warranties anyways. :)

While that's good, you should definitely still register the card within 30 days of purchase. Something as mundane as logging in, and uploading an image of your receipt. There are so many people that buy Evga and other branded cards, have something go wrong and get upset on their forum of choice because their warranty defaulted to one year because they didn't do something as simple as register the card.
