    gtx 580 or 570 , best for 3d vision surround?

    Excellent point and exactly what I was thinking. I would like to get the 570s but worry about the graphics memory ( I know that the 580 does not have signigicantly more memory than the 570)Do you think the extra 256mb of ram would be of benefit to me in 3d vision surround?

    gtx 580 or 570 , best for 3d vision surround?

    Hey guys. I just upgraded my graphics card from an 8800gt to a radeon 5850. NFS Shift ran ok on my 8800gt but not perfect. The game runs like crap on my 5850!
