SO after seeing 580s now out and same price think would be wise to just grab them or wait for the price drop in the 470s as mining hash more less same??
Only reason is I ask is ready to buy more gpus but weather to get the new 580s due to TDP going to 185 apposed to TDP of 150w with the 480s

One thing I do like what sapphire have done is actually included a extra set of replacement fans too
Whats your view stick to going 470s or go for new 580s or maybe go for the 570s are their TDP is improved from 125 to 150 with the 570s than 470s instea.
What you guys recommend?
