The bid went up to like $490 so I decided to go for a new card like you said, but by the time I clicked on that link (which I've been watching for a week) it was gone lol.
On newegg theres a card below the G1 gaming that had the same price ($519) as it as the superbiiz site, but was in stock so I got that one.

Should be here in 4-7 business days!
Is there any truth to the more expensive the card the higher it'll overclock? I've heard the K|ngp|n is like a cherry-picked chip for overclocking, but does the same apply for my price point as in that it'll be a little worse than a $570 card or something
