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.

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

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

QUOTE(uGinn @ Oct 6 2011, 11:17 PM)
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.
*
That is what I'm waiting for.

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
*
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. blush.gif

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

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?

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


QUOTE(Vigilant @ Oct 8 2011, 12:06 AM)
Just get it if you can afford it. No regrets on the perfomance boost.
*
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.

Roger that. Even I want to go for 1.5GB also a bit difficult to get, my previous dealer is now bringing in the 3GB version only.
