I'm considering to get another GTX580 for my rig. Anyone of you using GTX 580 in SLI mode? Please share your average FPS and experience.

Rich...Jelly...haha ^^

Not to show off or what, seriously my current rig still cannot full fill my eye requirement xD

I also going to buy a 4 way sli mobo to run 4 gtx 580

good luck with major driver problem and heat issue

don't go for Quad SLi
PSU have to take into account
Driver have to take into account

SLi is ok as games putting dual graphic card features
but the driver still slow
Consider Kempler Card that coming out next year
should help a bunch

from the beta build, i don't really think you need GTX 580 in SLI.. if u game at 1920x1080 or 1920x1200

Was it really necessary to made a new thread? o.O

Yes only gtx 580 SLi and onwards can support ULTRA SETTINGS when the full game comes out. Make up your mind. They haven't unlock the full settings for the beta yet.

single gtx 580 is enough already..no need for SLi two 580's unless u have extra money to burn

I hope they unlock the lowest settings for the full game for me to gain some more fps. Right now, I set everything to low, the game still looks really beautiful, no difference from high settings...and the FPS difference is like 5fps only....even after restart the game...

usually outside u wont notice much difference.
only indoors where all the fancy lighting starts to take effect that u will.

i play Bf3 beta at 0.91 Fps
with my netbook

then that must be some bad eye

dude.. one gtx 580 is already a total OVERKILL!

i can play it on my net book... lolz... but with my rig .. at 50+ - FPS

single GTX 580 for 1920x1080 ultra is very enough,

if u want perfect lagfree, then 2x SLI

dont need go more than that,

btw there's beta AMD and NV driver for BF3, it works for both SLI and Xfire

my 2x5870 fully used GPU 99% real time,=.= first game I played that is fully stressing my both graphic cards

Almost the same spec as yours, but If I were you I would grab an SSD first instead

stick with 1 GTX 580 first la even my GTX 570 don't even struggle on high settings, 1920x1080. And I believe the FPS will increase when the beta drivers are improved.

I can even play ultra settings, but on 1680x1050 lah.

It's the other way around. When I was playing the FPS was much higher indoors than outdoors. I assume this is due to the indoors have less stuff to render compared to outdoors, even with the different lighting

I want to get cheap GTX460 but out of stock
