Go 580 or order another 480 for SLI
What do you guys think? Is the jump to a 580 worth it or am i just being crazy considering it?

Jump to a 580 isn't worth it. Especially since 480's are cheap, you have a PSU that can run them and it will give you better performance.

Do neither, I don't think GTX480 is holding you back in any way.
Yes, you are crazy. |

120Hz + 1920x1080 + BF3 + 2xGTX480 = Massive win
Otherwise save the cash for next die-shrink. |

Run HWBOT Heaven Benchmark (DX11) bench with that single card.
Here are my scores w/ 26k @ 4.2Ghz with Dual GTX480's in SLi. HWbot 2611.0  I have some other test if you'd like to compare those, like 3d06, 3d03 & 3do1SE.
