Sweet mate, that's what i'm gonna go for on my main rig, 6870s on the other two.
I'm gonna go Asus or EVGA though.

No just a 4870X2, 4870 1GB and a 8800GTX in my PC room. They have done me ok, but it's time for some upgrades :DQuote:

Will do. Our cards we have now are pretty much identical in performance so should give you an insight to the upgrade
Gonna go Asus I think...
Asus GTX 580
Asus are generally the "better" makes aren't they? Still a £70 difference between the Asus and the Palit is quite steep.
Exactly the same cards mate. At the moment, since the card has only just been released they are made in exactly the same factory. Just a different sticker on the front and maybe a slightly better warranty.
Although that will change, at the moment it adds even more to the steep £70 additional cost.
No matter what Outcasst says, the Asus looks cooler! :D
You say that but it's still quicker than a reference GTX 580 in clock speed and fps in BC2. http://www.techpowerup.com/reviews/A...GTX_580/6.html
That Palit is £391 at eBuyer and £429 at OcUK lol, so I would assume I can get the Asus cheaper.
If it stays at that price I will go EVGA for their 10 year warranty :up: Plus my current nvidia cards are EVGA - I do like things to match :D
We'll see what's going on when I order.
So how's yours going mate? Have you ran any benchmarks yet?
some interesting info etc on that link mate. However, it could be misleading for the Dave's of this world. The GTX only scores a higher FPS on basic resolution, which is daft really as if you can afford a card of these prices its safe to assume that you have a HD capable monitor. And on that note the ATI scores higher FPS
Not yet, I'm waiting for 3DMark 11 to come out later today.Quote:

Yeah I thought it was a bit bizarre not to have 1920x1080 just 1920x1200, and as for scoring less than a 5970, isn't the 5970 a dual GPU card? and the 580 single chip?Quote:

Nice score. :)
Nice mate :up:
The Asus is £409 at Novatech :up:
kwl, any bc2 issues?
The official drivers are horrible for BC2. I had to use the Quadro ones to get decent performance.
Really!! I hope they have sorted that out in the next driver release.Quote:

They said it will be despatched on thursday, personally I doubt it will get here that quick :S
Nice one :)
You should use the 265.90 drivers when it gets there, assuming there are no later ones released by then. They are Quadro drivers, however you can install them with the modified .inf file.
kwl, cheers for the heads up :up:
all i want is no crashes mate good luck with having a beast in your pc lol lollyd cant wait to see it all done mate ;]
What power connections has the 580 got? 1x 8pin and 1x 6pin? I assume?
Correct
Still waiting for mine :(
EDIT: BTW there was an option to stop users "Shouting" in thread titles, I have removed that now and edited the title :up:
Did they send it out yet?
no not yet - still waiting on stock, OcUK say they will have some on the 31st so I am hoping that'll be a UK wide date :up:
Coolio.
I'm definitely putting mine under water. It runs too hot and loud!
Yeah me too, it will be on air to start with. need to get a block and a cpu block (EK) and some quick disconnects. I wanna go i7 too so will probs wait till I have that and do it all at the same time :D
I'm wondering if I have made the right dicission getting a GTX 580 with Outcasst's issues.
Do you get crashes in all games or just BC2?
