Statusegg now longer works for me, something to do with newegg changing the site up. Anyone else using any stock checking apps? Thanks

Another example for those that think Amazon doesn't price gouge:
http://www.amazon.com/EVGA-SuperClocked-DisplayPort-Graphics-02G-P4-2682-KR/dp/B007KC1R9E/
Bumped up the price on the EVGA GTX 680 Superclocked from $519.99 to $559.99.

Usually that means they're out of stock and it's the "lowest" third party price being listed.
So what do you all think about moving from a 480 to a 680?

I approve.
I saw a major increase in frames going from a 480/460 (I preferred the 460, the 480 was not worth it to me) to just a 580 last year.
I haven't received my 680 just yet (in transit!) but from the reviews [H]ere and the benchmarks I have seen, it looks to be worth every penny. My 580 handled all games fine, but stuttered in BF3 a little bit with everything high on my 28" - I can't imagine how the 680 will perform. If you have the cash, go for it.
Er, showing as 519.99 here
Other thing I'm looking at is some of my other hardware. I'm debating whether I really want to even throw any more money at my present system. I'm running an Intel qx9650 OC'd to around 3.6Ghz and 8 gigs of DDR1066 for frame of reference.
Honestly, it depends on what you want to do with it.
Since you have a GTX 480, I assume you game with this setup - at which point, yes I would suggest you upgrade for that sake.
Get sandy bridge, a cheap mobo and some 1600mhz ddr3 and you will be absolutely golden.
Yup, I game.
Under consideration.

My guess is about 2x the performance of that card, plus a bit more VRAM.
huh... where you smoke that 2x performance from?
480 is the same as 570, and its only slightly slower than 580.
the performance boost from 580 to 680 is 30-40% at best.
I would probably say its nearly 50-60% at most.
2 Asus 680 TOP's in stock at Newegg as well as many other cards.

Damn, soon as I see this I check and they're out again, I'm starting to think I'll never get this bad boy.
