S!

As above..waiting for 2012 and the new cards from both brands. Also this gives precious time for CoD to mature a bit more.

Love my EVGA GTX580sc, only 1.5gb but find the game VERY well. Averages above 50fps at all times.

Just finished a budget upgrade. Went from e6600@3.4 ghz to i2500k at stock for now and from 8800gts to a regular gtx570. If money was no object I would've gone for a GTX580 3gb.

580GT hands down, try for a 3gb variant also.

You might wanna throw in another harddisc or two someday or other components drawing extra power, even USB units. There is really no point running a system on the edge.

Personally i'm using the Corsair HX850 Modular unit.

well I have the power-meter (wattmeter) for PC....you cant beat that :-)...surprise surprise...btw even if its true (with PSU streching) by then (when my "components degrade) it will be time for new rig...

GTX580 all day. The only reason I decided to go with my GTX560 Ti 2Gb was because I was on a budget. I've got it OC'd up to 977 core clock, 1954 shader clock, and 2205 memory clock. Runs the game very well, only dipping down to about 27-28 fps minimum over land with around 20-25 planes in the sky. A very good buy considering it's almost half the price of the 580. But never-the-less I would very much like to get my hands on one. :)

Also, I went with a SilverStone 750w PSU. Extremely good quality, 100% modular, and was only $20 more than the standard Corsair 750w at $130 USD. Highly recommended.

Guys thank you so much for your thoughts, I have now decided and ordered a 580 3gb. It is a Gigabyte card, not the fastest around in the class but better priced at £420...if i do not get any betterment over my 480 it is all your fault...
