Again read the history on this, I'm not any liking how XFX is pulling the wool over the unsuspecting, with their castrated low end offering like this. For $30 you should expect something more.
I'd say really consider the deal Ben's listing for the Sapphire 6670 1GB 128-bit DDR3. Even at $25 more it's a better place if it something you plan on using for a good couple of years.
Such competitive offerings have gotten pricey and/or just dried up. Weird I would've thought such 6670 DDR3 or 6750’s would really be seeing bigger movement at this point, but AMD is sitting back not really being aggressive against the likes of GT430, GT440 or GTX550. I suppose they already are (in their minds), and don't need/want to bloody Nvidia, because the $40-80 price range is not ready for any disruption anytime soon. Heck that segment for AMD may basically wither, other than say two refreshed 40Nm cards that would be for Hybrid Cross Fire on APU platforms AMD doesn't need to have any real presence.
Again, as you always do, point to something more expensive in relation to the product being listed. Anybody with absolutely no video card experience can do that.
One is better than the other means nothing without a stated purpose for what the card is to be used for.
one card is single slot, the other double. If you only have one slot to spare then the XFX HD-557X-ZHL2 would be a better card.
One card will play some games better than the other and the $490 Sparkle GeForce GTX580 will play games even better. Why not recommend that card.
Everything between "Such competitive offerings .... and .... have any real presence" What the heck is all that.
It's a $30 card. Gee Whizz.
^ - I wouldn't recommend anything called Sparkle... or that lax of performance at a $500 price point.
Sorry if it taxes your brain capacity, just learn not to read my posts if it's causing that much grief.

Maybe "you" know more about video cards than "anybody" else, ever.
Hey everybody, forget about these experienced reviews from people that are well established, put their real name on it, fund their own website and offer free of charge the data from actual testing and benchmarking.
If it's causing you that much grief, just learn not to respond to my comments.
Ah, that Tom's thing is behind the times being written Jan 4th, but you must to know that? You're just back peddling to save face... I hope!
The rest of the world who even sort of follows computers, knows that AMD has released a new series that beats up a GTX580 and there are experienced reviews from people that are well established saying that.
Don't take my word read... there's plenty of reviews here's one you might have not found under your rock.

Hey, in between beating each other up it would be helpful if you guys updated your Gravatars. It makes it easier to skim posts and ignore certain ones that bother some people.
