Just purchased 2 x OCUK 580GTX

[saintdefender]

you spent nearly £900 and didnt check if the cards were good or not ?

lol check if the 580s are any good? Where did you read that? I asked about manufactor : )

 

[reflux]

Basically the OCUK 580s are a mixed bag of Inno3D, Palit and PNY cards iirc. They are the same as almost all 580s available, just without the name prestige of EVGA etc. Warranty on the Palit at least is 2 years.

 

[lurkio]

Id rather pay the extra and get 10 years warranty with EVGA.

+1

Nothing worse than spending 450 , to have the thing die a few days out of warranty

Long warranties for the win

As said, a lot of people, particularly enthusiasts, as its an enthusiast card, will have replaced it long before even the 2 year mark likely.

Conventiently, most brands have a 2 year warranty

10 years though is a little ambitious, I reckon I will have my GTX 580 for no longer than 3 years.. the I will sell it on.

 

[varkanoid]

Exactly. A video card has a useful life of no more than 3 years tbh.

or judging by the zeal for new tech on here


.......if you are an Overclocker forum member...... its 6 months.

You only need the one SLi bridge if you've only got two cards.

I dont have a i7x I DO however have a 40" monitor and a 1090t 6 core OC past 4Ghz

Could I ask what monitor this is? Or is it a TV or LFD? I think the point people were making is that your setup could make use of some pretty high resolutions far beyond 1920 x 1080.
