Too expensive is relative.   Is there a better card out there at a similar price point?

For gaming and rendering/video processing.
Its 100 bucks cheaper than the next 580 on newegg, so the price is good for a 580.
for slightly more you could get 2x 560 ti which would perform much better.
If its new, price/performance the 580 is a good buy at the moment.

New, but back ordered. 

While sli is an option, I have a 925, where code takes advantage of it, it's all good.  But when code does not handle sli well, not worth it.

The 580 is a good buy for you in that case.

i think

just did some stress testing (read; being CG'd on BC2) and it didnt have the slowdown i was getting before. booted into safe mode and avg picked up some deep rooted shit it didnt see when booting normally so that was it i think
