Some users have recently had their accounts hijacked. It seems that the now defunct EVGA forums might have compromised your password there and seems many are using the same PW here. We would suggest you UPDATE YOUR PASSWORD and TURN ON 2FA for your account here to further secure it. None of the compromised accounts had 2FA turned on.
Once you have enabled 2FA, your account will be updated soon to show a badge, letting other members know that you use 2FA to protect your account. This should be beneficial for everyone that uses FSFT.
I have the same setup and I believe I get 60fps on that game with everything on but the high res textures (never downloaded it).
After installing the driver, did you enable SLI in the Nvidia Control Panel?

I am a huge fan of Corsair. I was thinking about finally picking up an SSD and I trust Corsair to deliver in this front. I am already happy with all the memory modules and PSU's I've owned from Corsair, and it would be awesome if I got something free from them.
The GTX580 is a much better card. I used to have a GTX295 and it would max almost any game released up until 2010 @ 1680x1050, but once I increased my resolution to 1080p, I saw the card struggle a lot. Massive slowdowns in SC2 with high settings, drops under 30fps on Mafia 2, Metro 2033 and...
SLI 580's here and the game doesn't perform up to my standards. If I pay $1000 for a pair of GPU's, I expect to max the game @ 1080p with a constant 60+fps and that is absolutely not the case. I am experiencing drops lower than 30fps when the action kicks in on Caspian Border. I am definitely...
I actually believe in Tegra now. I got a Motorola Photon 4G which has a Tegra 2 processor and the power of the device is amazing. I have been playing this game a lot lately:

It looks as good as any game on my 3DS.
Now, soon this other game...
"If you are looking for a high power PSU, I suggest you give a look to the Corsair AX1200, Enermax Revo 1350."
Did something change with the HCP1200? From the [H] review it seemed you guys thought that PSU was better than the AX1200.
I am a bit dissapointed with Nvidia drivers atm. They haven't released anything to fix The Witcher 2 SLI performance issues whereas ATI CF users are getting better performance after their new drivers.

You will definitely not be able to OC the cards.
Also, remember that the GTX680 is a process shrink of two nodes, therefore a single card might match the performance of the SLI GTX580.
Interesting. I remember I didn't buy a pair of GTX6970's because sites reported the cards being one inch longer than the GTX570/GTX580, which barely fit in my case. I had to get a pair of GTX580's because of this and ended up spending $350 more for a negligible difference... I am actually...
You will be fine with reference cards. I have two GTX580 reference cards in a Rampage II Ex mobo and there is literally no space between my cards and even though the idle temps are really high for the top card (70* C) the temps never go past 88* C when playing demanding games. With the Maximux...
