T_O_A_D Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 I have now. So now that your lowly 560 is obsolete, you'd better buy this one, and just throw the 560 in my trash can. Quote
DD_Arthur Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Excellent! I always like to read reviews of the graphic card I'll be using in three years time Quote
Snacko Posted November 1, 2011 Posted November 1, 2011 Can you link two computers together and dedicate one to that card? I'd hate to give up 3 slots. Quote
Mayhem Posted November 2, 2011 Author Posted November 2, 2011 I have now. So now that your lowly 560 is obsolete, you'd better buy this one, and just throw the 560 in my trash can. It's actually a 560 ti thank you very much which has 48 more shader cores, 8 more texture units, and a 52.5 GTex/s fill rate as apposed to a 45.4 GTex/s. The 560 has a GPU reference clock of 812Mhz while the ti version's is 822Mhz. I'm running my MSI Twin Frozr II at 950Mhz GPU, 1896Mhz Shader and 2200Mhz memory clock rock solid and stable with the temp never going above 58C. Besides I'd rather throw it to the dogz then in the trash. Oh and I don't know how many of you will be running this in 2 years as they are only making 999 from what the article says. At that price I don't know why you wouldn't just go triple SLI GTX 580s. Quote
SkyPup Posted November 2, 2011 Posted November 2, 2011 Fourteen hundred bucks! Yipes! MaximumPC gave it high marks but noted that besides the stratospheric cost, the card "could suck the life out of an 850 watt power supply". It draws 785 watts under load. Quote

Mayhem Posted November 2, 2011 Author Posted November 2, 2011 That's right mister, and don't let it happen again. No, just kidding, my nerves ARE shot however. Did you ever see that movie Falling Down with Micheal Douglas. Quote
2. Administrators Jabo Posted November 2, 2011 2. Administrators Posted November 2, 2011 I think I'll stick with my 580 for the time being - that was expensive enough and I've yet to find anything that pushes it hard. Jabo Quote
