Default Gtx 580

Holla guys, im just wondering if i could get a bit of input here. Im building a new pc and im just curious about who is running a GTX580 in their system and what they think of it for CloD?

If i get positive feedback im going to get the Asus GTX580 Matrix

Thanks for any input guys

Hola back at ya!

I've got two of the little monkeys and have run without SLI and the 580 (1.5 GB) runs well. It might be worth owners of the ATI comparables offering their feedback too just to get a balanced view.

Is the Asus GTX580 Matrix the 3GB variant?

Toodles

Gday badger Neg mate, its only the 1.5GB card, just the ROG edition. Im just wonderin if the 1.5 runs it as well as the 3GB card, cause i want it to match the ROG motherboard i bought

Else ill look at either the Palit 3gb or MSI lightning if it turns out the 3GB cards are the go.

Very satisfied with the GTX 580, it's the last monocore GPU, so you do not have to deal with SLI. This is my test before and after the change:

Yep, I'm quite happy with mine too. I have the eVGA GTX580 with 1.5 and I think the main limiting factor on my build at the moment is my stock clocked i7 940. Everyone who's getting amazing frames seems to have their processor bumped up to at least 3.2 or 3.5 gHz.

I'm happy with the frame rates I'm getting though with pretty much everything on medium or high.

can you please tell my what res are you using?

can you detail a little bit more the settings you have on NV CP and game settings?

I have 2xGainward 3GB 580´s and I am a little frustrated with the performance.

thank you

I would not touch anything with 1,5Gb VRAM if I was going for a new purchase if I were you.

Go straight for a 3Gb VRAM version.

My 2cents...

Just wait for the new patch and decide then, if you go with the 1.5 or 3 Gig version.

Thumbs up

Again,very happy with mine,it was undoubtably the best upgrade I made on my bit of kit.

I have the ZOTAC 1.5 GB version and it runs COD very sweetly.
