** WHAT COST £999 +VAT? ASUS MARS 580 X2!! **

[Nexus18]

Hahahahahaha.

Are you having a laugh?

Only people with more money than sense would buy this.

 

[TaKeN]

Surely the title should read 'What Costs £999+ VAT'

 

[bhavv]

Cool, I'm gonna buy two for Quad SLI, looks great value and bang for buck.

 

[arc@css]

Better to buy two 3gb 580's, would work out a good deal cheaper.

 

[Pate]

Tempted to buy one, thrash it for a week, then return it under DSR regulations.







I joke. Knowing my luck I'd bugger it up

Someone will buy this if they got the money, I'm not one of the them unless I win the lotto tonight = )

No, I believe its a 590 engineered correctly. The 580 chips on this beast are not restricted and forced to run slower than 570 SLI like Nvidia's attempt in some situations.

Yes and now, this isn't like the 590gtx has less shaders, Nvidia just cheaped out on VRM's. The difference between a 590gtx at sub 570gtx clocks and over 580gtx clocks, are the vrm's and thats it.

So you're talking about a bog standard 590gtx with, and I'm being generous, £50 of better VRM's on it and a better heatsink.

Considering the timing, at least if you bought one right after the 580gtx launch you'd have the fastest card available for over a year, if you buy it now, it will be, 1-2 months max then be suddenly worth £300 second hand.

 

[mewhome]

i am pretty sure some people will buy 2 of them

 

[Emphacy]

OcUK. I think you should build the most badass system, with 3 of these in SLI, the EVGA Classified SR2 with two i7's and 3 of them samsung 3D monitors.

Then put it on display in your showroom.
Technically this does not = profit, but It would be awesome?

Ordered

 

[Cleeecooo]

Stupid product IMO
Unless you do a lot of folding or something

i7s in an Sr-2 ..

Also you can only put 2 of these cards together.

Though I do understand what you meant

 

[unknownsock]

These are absolutely stupid while microstuttering still exists.

I'd totally pay a grand to still have some form of lag.

Well I'd like to see you play BF3 at 5760x1200 with one 580.

 

[Emphacy]

Yes, they are socket 1366 like the Gulftown i7 970, 980, 980X and the 990X. Although... The Xeon range may be better... Hmmm
EDIT: I just realised the i7's are not compatible for some reason, must be the chipset.... DAMMIT.

Multi-monitor is pointless until bezels aren't a "problem" anymore. And even if they were removable (or didn't have one,) I wouldn't buy 2/3 monitors and 2 graphics cards while microstuttering still exists. It's a problem that should have been rectified as soon as they realised that it occurred.

Because not everyone is hung up about the bezels or that micro stuttering that may occur to a notice effect in a particular game, because everything has a weak side & you either put with it & buy or you don't.

 

[Final8y]

Sorry but for that money its criminal to have standard 1536MB per GPU.

 

[Insomniak]

cook a cat!!!!!
For that much I'd want a card that upgraded itself every 6 months.
