Replace 2x 1.5GB GTX580 in SLI with...?

So... given that I stupidly thought 1.5GB per card would be ample for BF3 in triple-wide (3x 1080p), should I be looking at anything other than 2x 3GB GTX580s?

I would wait for the new AMD

I would wait for the new AMD cards, should be out just after Christmas... maybe :P

And would get at least another 4 GB ram, if you have a 64 bit OS. I would get another 4GB an a 64bit OS if you haven't :)

If you can absorb some cost

If you can absorb some cost with re-sale, I might upgrade to 3gb models.

I just ditched my 1.5gb 480's for 3gb 580's for the same reason. Sold one of them already, minus the waterblock, so hopefully I can get rid of the rest of the old cards/blocks and make back a little :)
