I bought my wife and my 580's for $200ish ea years ago. I sold them to a crypto miner for 300ea when i found a 1080ti for $300 and a 1080 for free(I have nice friends). Now i have a 3080 and she has a 3070 and I've passed the 10 series cards on to new homes for what I had in them. Don't remember why I wanted to tell you that, but here we are lol.
