You're probably getting tired of these. [This one is a PSU,GPU thread]

[Aidan]

-but anyhow.

Good price for what you get? Sounds pretty damn good to me.


Also. GTX560Ti in SLI better than a single GTX580 on a p67EVO?

It would run in 8x in SLI, but P67 uses sandy vagina to increase the speed thus giving you the speed of 16x, even though it isn't true 16x.

No Bias AMD comments please. I prefer 3D over an actual peripheral advantage.

Also, on 560Ti SLI, it would even the temps of the fermi rocket fuel.

[clyzm]

up to you

560 does have an advantage in scaling over ONE 580 but getting two 580s in sli would just be way better

also

>i prefer 3d over an actual peripheral advantage

is that why you're spending more than $50 on mice

[James]

[Aidan]

Yeah, but two 560's amount to the price of one 580 whilst I'd be paying more than $1000 for two 580's :/

I could always get one 580 first, then just get another 580 down the road and sli it.

That PSU seems like a great deal to me. 850W and gold certified. 850w is overkill, but if I'm powering two firmi's that might not be the case. My case is riced up blue anyway, so it'd be nice to have a blue light emitting from the bottom as well

Thing is two, I can also go 3 monitors with sli. Although the quality won't be as great as eyefinity.. The option is always there.

[clyzm]

nvidia surround is so much worse than eyefinity. three of the same type of monitor? meanwhile eyefinity can do 6 different monitors on ONE card

[Aidan]

I know it is lol. It would be the same monitor, but I don't even have enough desk space atm for 3 monitors, let alone a 6 monitor setup. SO that's out of the question for now :/

TBH I don't even think I'll use a 3 monitor setup.

[clyzm]

get two 560s, but remember

nvidia sli drivers for most games are whack

[Tantalus]

Both Crossfire and SLi are incredibly overrated.

[Aidan]

I think one 580 should suffice. I'll buy a GTS450 (only $100 too) down the road just to use as a dedicated PhysX card.

[Tantalus]

You cannot justify a dedicated PhysX card, it improves frame rate by 2-3 at best.

[clyzm]

unless you're playing a physx game

all 5 of them

[Aidan]

takes a 25% load off your your primary GPU when playing PhysX enabled games, which I have quite a bit of.

Lower load = Lower chance of my firmi rocketing out of my rig.

[James]

unless you're playing a physx game

all 5 of them

[clyzm]

if you're getting anything higher than a 480, the heat issues are nonexistent, trust me

[Tantalus]

You might as well wait for GTX 680 unless you really need an upgrade.

Hell, you don't have to buy the 680, but it'll slam the prices down.

[Aidan]

Yeah, I've heard nothing but good things about..

ASUS GTX 580

[DxPlayer]

Such a powerful card like the 580 can handle PhysX and high resolution/details game rendering stuff at the same time, you do not need that extra card.

[Aidan]

Yes, but I'm also keeping cool temps in mind. Granted the 580 isn't as hot as the 480, it's still pretty hot.

[clyzm]

.... two 560s means less room, less room means less ventilation, less ventilation means hotter temperatures

[Aidan]

Very good point. In conclusion, the PSU looks pretty good, I'm gonna buy it tomorrow.

-and one GTX580 will do me good

[DxPlayer]

Cooler temperatures, but less duration for coolers. If you have a bit more money, time and patient it is probably something nice to test. Hehe...

There is a lot of cool case mod stuff here: http://www.hardware.com.br/comunidade/v-f/22 but it is in Portuguese.

[Aidan]

Whattt??!!?!? That's insane!!

This?

OR

This?

Corsair is usually reliable, but the kingwin also seems reliable, and is such a great deal, not to mention it's also modular AND 80 plus gold.

[clyzm]

80 plus gold!!!!!!!!!!!!!!


not a gimmick!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[Aidan]

Are you being sarcastic Derek?

Isn't there a proven efficiency?

I'm not even gonna


Alright.. I'm going with the Corsair.

[clyzm]

good choice

and for future reference, corsair wins above all

except maybe silverstone

[Aidan]

Yes, I know silverstone is good too. I know corsair da best, but I was unsure if I was getting a deal or not with the kingwin.

[Aidan]

I went with two msi 560 ti's to run in x8 x8 sli on my p67 pro. Difference between x8 x8 and x16 x16 is a measly 2 fps anyway Besides, even after the 2fps frame drop, it still performs much better than one 580. I'm not blowing that much more money as Keplar will be coming out in five months.

[clyzm]

x8/x8 is like 30% performance decrease lol

try scaling

[Aidan]

Where's the proof?

Everything I've researched.. It barely makes a difference. My P68 will only do x8 x8
