    Is Gigabyte video card's "features" real or hypes?

    Yes they do, I went with MSI for my 680's and was quite suprised at how much louder they are compared to windforce3x cooling on my previous Gigabyte cards, they overclocked like a beast too.

    Crysis 3 Video Card Performance and IQ Review @ [H]

    I actually played the whole game through with TXAA and I didn't mind it... definitely makes the grassy areas look better I reckon. I know its blurry but I just didnt notice it that much at 2x. Gonna have another run through with SMAA 2x and hardest difficulty soon.

    Think your ready for Crysis 3? Think again

    Now some strange things are happening. Keep in mind I'm fairly new to PC gaming and tweaking etc. In certain areas of first few levels...I drop to 45 frames now...gpu usage on the 680's is hanging around 60% with max settings and FXAA...I played around with all the AA types even using 8xMSAA...

    Think your ready for Crysis 3? Think again

    Well I just updated to 314.09 titan drivers...and it gave me a significant boost. On 314.07 the game felt abit sluggish. Maxed out @ 1920 x 1080p with FXAA I get a locked 60 with the odd dip into 55...lower a few settings using CVar config tweak app and I get a solid 60 everywhere (so far only...

    Think your ready for Crysis 3? Think again

    Ahh I just noticed that the Titan drivers are out (314.09) are you guys all using these instead of 314.07 ?? I'll give these a go and see if I get a performance boost.

    Think your ready for Crysis 3? Think again

    Yeah tried all the AA types FXAA and SMAA seem the smoothest, done abit of tweaking with crysis 3 cvar config app and I'm running mainly high - very high settings and getting almost constant 60fps...with the odd dip outdoors. Pretty happy with that for now.

    Far Cry 3 Video Card Performance Preview @ [H]

    You are the first person who average 60fps with ultra settings and aa8x, this is why I think that your results are not correct :) Who said anything about 8xmsaa??, if you read my post again I said it runs fine with 4xmsaa, haven't even tried 8xmsaa...in my opinion at 1440p I don't even need it...

    Far Cry 3 Video Card Performance Preview @ [H]

    My 680 SLI is handling 4xmsaa fine @ 1440p. New drivers helped a lot and got rid of 95% of my stuttering with msaa.

    Skyrim Modding Megathread

    Super3l ENB vs Realistic lighting + fxaa injector ?? What are peoples thoughts? I think ENB is good but when using my native res of 2560x1440...it just gives everything a grainy/blurry filter and performance hit for not much flair, but seems to work well with 1080 resolution in my opinion. I...

    What do you recommend for a U2711.

    Yeah I faced this choice when I bought my u2711, one 3gb GTX 580 or go for two....I chose SLI and I'm glad I did..high resolution really does need GPU grunt..if you want all the graphical fruit in games. I would probably get one 7970, and keep the option open to Crossfire down the track...

    CES/Kepler

    I'm not worried at all. My set up will tide me over till NVIDIAs next release. A lot of doom and gloom going on in the forums regarding no kepler at CES...really no biggie but I'm sure kepler isn't too far away and I'm sure it will be a superior product! It seems NVIDIA have a pretty large...

    Tweaking Skyrim Image Quality @ [H]

    Just gave Skyboost a go. It works even better than Acceleration Layer. (in Makarth standing at the smelter looking up..used to get to high 30's..now getting 45+ with Skyboost, that one spot is only spot I'm getting lag *below 60fps*, no lag in any other part of Makarth, any other town or parts...

    Tweaking Skyrim Image Quality @ [H]

    Tried many enb configurations...not a huge fan always too bright or too sharpened from my experience, much prefer Donotargue.com DNA ultra extreme settings ini file. I use this with preset 2 of post process FXAA injector mod.

    Tweaking Skyrim Image Quality @ [H]

    I did the same..skse + acceleration layer pretty much keeps my Skyrim above 60fps consistently now, running on the rig in my signature. Pretty impressed what these guys were able to do!.

    Overclocking 3GB 580's

    You got reference cooler 580's? 80c isn't too bad...but my gigabyte 580's only get to 75c max @ 925mhz overclock, with fans on the gpus @ 60% speed. All thanks to the HAF X airflow. Im not really comfortable when temps get to near 90c..so you'll have to see how you go when you overclock.

    I got SLI 3gb 580, on BF3 @ 2560x1440 I can get away ultra settings and 4xmsaa, no dips below 60fps in MP or SP. So should be good for 2560x1600. Skyrim I can't run everything ultra . Have to lower shadows to high. Still get drops below 60fps. Damn bethesda, awesome game just hope modders can...

    Sorry tor hi jacking...just hard trying to find info on these UD cards. Temps are fine...benches and BF3/Crysis top card is 75c, both idle around 38c So maybe in afterburner maybe I should play around with different voltages of each card instead of syncing them? And see how that goes...

    Is something wrong or is my card just maxed out?

    OP just out of interest..Is it the 3gb version?? Because I got 2 of these 3gb UD 580's in SLI and for me to get stable 900mhz I have to run at 1.15v, seems a bit high? I have spoke to other people who have achieved 900+mhz with only slight voltage lift to 1.06v. Is more voltage needed with...
