dont listen to the blind quotes from someone who uses an amd regarding the heat or driver issues. im running gtx580 sli and im getting and avg. of 112fps and lowest is 85-ish fps.

just to let you know 1 card is enough and the avg is 60-ish fps and low is arounf 39fps.

these cards run cooler in bf3 than in bc2. NO DRIVER problem wotsoever. just remember to clear away dust and you will be fine.

agree its the other way round, when outdoors my fps range from 35-50, indoors 50-80

imo go for it!, i know i will if i haz the cash

bf3 is more to outdoor anyway so u can see higher fps

Ts.. if u think not good enuf ??
get mars II

Thanks for the feedback. Yes I got think of waiting for the new series come out then only see the market price and performance.

I play the game in 1920x1080 on Samsung S23A950D 120Hz monitor, 55fps for me is still suffering and remember that now we only playing in Rush mode but not the huge map with huge view and armory yet. Might wait the full release then see how.

That is what I'm waiting for.

This is what I am looking for, lag-free for 120Hz monitor would be insanely awesome. Now I'm getting 55fps average for Rush mode in Operation Metro. I believe when full release there will be even more graphic hunger. I'm now running nVidia BETA driver 285.38.

Seriously this game graphic is awesome but too much bug and glitches in BETA.

Cheers.

Surely the need to push the graphic performance will be needed once the release of Battlefield 3. But I'm not sure how much the graphic improvements will be.

GTX580 SLi is popular standard these days for PC gaming enthusiast. Go for it. What is there to waste if you like to game a lot.

Yeah but I don't play much game, mostly upcoming game would be Battlefield 3, Modern Warfare 3 and Diablo III, that's all!



Or should I wait for 600 series? I guess when 600 series come out, the price will be still at high range. Just get SLi GTX580 and wait for further upgrade like 800 series or 900 series.

if you are saying my blind ''quotes''
please read it once again
different between quad and sli are much much different

SLi = Dual Graphic Setup


Quad Sli = Quad Graphic Setup

Quad SLi can be in two types:

Dual GTX590 (dual chips in single card, 2 cards are equal to 4 GPU chips)
or
Quad GTX580

Is that correct?

If you're playing on a 1920 x 1080 resolution I don't see why it isn't sufficient. Adding up another card for SLI doesn't always mean performance is doubled and you will need to see what is the utilization like in the game. Every game is different and this is due to the coding and driver support.

Yeah
pretty much
there aren't helping in rendering also
for now
its pretty much a ''waste'' technology
only SLi is getting in gaming settings

So what you mean here is dual GTX580 is just sufficient enough for single monitor, am I right? How about tri-SLI?

Not stable...bad idea
don't do it
get it?

Sli is only recommended for high games settings actually ot 3 or more monitor setup
in reality usage
you rarely will fully use it
but since Battlefield 3 is a beast so it might need a Sli GTX580 or HD6990

Tri/Quad/Octa/Hexa Sli isn't good and never will happen in this year or next year
stop consider the possiblities

Just get it man. I'm pretty sure you won't be disappointed. Plus Leadtek GTX 580 shouldn't be that expensive right?

plus another RM100 inside Leadtek GTX580 RM1299
you got system as mine display below in the signature

No..its not expensive
it just fukken expansive
that's all

Just get it if you can afford it. No regrets on the perfomance boost.

Haha. I meant not as expensive compared to Asus, MSI, EVGA etc.. Leadtek sells the cheapest GTX580.

Just Do it...get dual Gtx 580s and have no regrets i would if i have the budget for this month. kasi hantam saja one more graphic card in the computer case.

SLI GTX580, consider stable for gaming? Sorry I'm a bit dumb.


Sure not a problem, once I confirm then I will get it for sure instead of waiting for 600 series. If I want to upgrade in the future then I might wait for something 700 or 800 series.

Now I have LEADTEK GTX 580 1.5GB version and the seller does not carry 1.5GB version anymore but selling 3GB version. Can the 3GB version SLI with my current 1.5GB version? Core speed, bus speed everything the same just the dedicated RAM capacity is different.
