Orgasmatron Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 Personally, yes Id replace the 580. The minimum I would look at replacing it with would be a 780 ti if you have the funds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cthiggin2 Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 My Evga 570 Classified OC is doing a very good job also. I'm sure not as good as maybe a 770 or 780, but very acceptable and fps 22-33 - no stutters. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
