Graphics 2 x EVGA GTX 580 Classified 3GB HC's arrived this morning :D

read the bottom bit underneath the pic's mate , I know your drooling but I'm sure you can find it

 

Yeah, once I wiped the drool off the bottom of my screen I spotted your post.

 

Ha! Well thats good, have some tissues chum! I shall do my best to post benchies and overclocking results sunday evening then when I get in from work If not might have to wait until tuesday when I have a couple of days off work

 

You can't make us wait for that long... That rig is a work of art with those cards!! Need more pics!!

 

What rad is that loop going to? a clocked 3960X, then 2 580s... I hope it's big! I'll be segregating my GPUs from my CPU I think.

 

thanks flame, shall see what I can do tonight then

There's an XT360 in the front, with 3 Gentle Typhoon 3000RPM fans

and one of these in the bottom http://www.aquatuning.co.uk/product...a-Nano-G-14-Silent-Waterproof-1000rpm-S7.html, I'm gonna see what the temps are when I get her up and running, if there not acceptable, I might split up the loops as I've got a spare D5 lying around somewhere.

 

Just finished drooling all over the keyboard and cleaned off the coco pops.

I can now finally see the pics properly. xD
"Well jel!"
Geeeez, they look so nice. All these water-cooling loops and mega high end gpus making me struggle
to wait 'til June for a new build. At least I've got the 700D ready for water-cooling if need be.
Daaaamn youuuu people!

Those pics make the TJ11 seem small and cramped!

 

Very nice, you git! Hey we should meet up, and chuck either yours in my rig or mine in your rig for some quad SLI benches. LOL.


Those are voltage measuring points, for your multimeter.

 

My 3gb's have arrived from Speed, lets see if my old SR2 and non-nutter 580's can stand up you boys!

 

Well, you will be comparing to me, as I'm on air, for now. My max OC is 970mhz in SLI or 1000mhz in non SLI.
Lets see what you can push yours to on air. They need to be benchable and stable.

 

Omg please do that Quad SLI with these babies will make the screen explode

 

All this is making me wonder how far I can push mine on air... but with crappy 1.5GB versions I'm feeling a little left out of this party. Hurry up Kepler!!

 

Pookeyhead, you could always sell what you have got. Then buy the EVGA 3GB cards.

Because this is why it would be a good investment!

 

TG Whats the chances of Kepler arriving in 3 months?, any ETA Yet?

 

I bet they do that so people will buy the cards now, then it will be "delayed" again...

 

I would say, it will be here by Easter at the latest.

 

Tempting... but I already have 580s... just not the 3GB. I'll struggle on with these until Kepler I think.... maybe... LOL

 

Well, the 1.5GB cards are limited to the vram. As when I use to play at 6030x1080, all my games would run at around 1475MB vram. But the vram was holding back the games, as now at 2560x1600, I'm using around 2100MB+ in Crysis 2, BF3 etc.

EDIT; If you are going to wait for Kepler, then I would wait for the 4GB cards, as the 2GB cards will be holding you back at you res.

 

I got 3 weeks out of my 560ti hawk before I upgraded to 580 SC, so will be interesting to see how long I last with this lol

 

And I bet the performance increase was epic!!
