I don't see why people are so butthurt about this.
No offense but I would estimate 95% of the people reading this website can't afford two 580s, let alone three (or the 3GB models).
I'm an NVIDIA owner at the moment for my primary system and I'm glad ATI is so competitive, it's better for the industry.
Sounds like table turns on single monitor
Color me impressed.
I wonder if you could achieve minimum 40FPS if you dropped down to x1080 panels
5760 x 1200 = 6 912 000 pixels
5760 x 1080 = 6 220 800 pixels
5040 x 1050 = 5 292 000 pixels
4800 x 900 = 4 320 000 pixels
.
The age of multi-monitor gaming is here! We have cheap TN panels, now all we need is to remove the bezels/make them small as possible.
Also I find it odd that some people think Tri users must use 3 x screens and that a single monitor is not considered enough, has anyone not heard of 120fps on a 120hz screen or 3D???
Like I said if the 3rd AMD GPU was running at 4X and 2 of the 5 games were LP2 and Hawx2 I'm sure your tone would be different..
I have as I have both and I think that 3 580s to power a single 1080P just isn't worth it.
With AMD you dont have to use 3 PCI-E slots and thats the point. AMD is tri fire while taking up only 2 slots, making it far more in reach, easier to use and far cheaper while having better performance.
I am one of the people that actually has a 3x SLI 580 setup and to be honest these numbers don't mean that much to me, I don't have any of these games besides Warhead and I played that 3 years ago. As Rizen said it's good to have competition to hold prices down. The fact is that there are other factors besides pure performance and I went with the 580s for S3D support as well as performance. Bottom line like Brent said, fast is fast and I'm simply not having performance issues in games in 2D Surround with my sig rig and the little bit of performance I might see with Tri-Fire doesn't make up for the lack of 3D support to me.
I've been very happy with the 580s thus far and I'd still buy hem over the 6900s because of S3D but I'd probably get 3GB 580 cards if I were buying today.
The only real problem with the linked review is that they don't compare 3 x GTX580's in tri-SLI to the 6990 + 6970 combo, considering the drop in clock speeds on the 590's in comparison to the 580's - I personally wouldn't be at all surprised if 3 x 580's were faster than 2 x 590's....
....Then again, maybe that's why 3 x 580's aren't in the review?
seems pretty consistent, except for vega that gets very high scores with trisli. /w 3gb cards.
I think some of you are confusing in-game and out of-game benchmarks. In-game benchmarks are a good thing. For example, the F1 2010 in-game benchmark is perfect as all it is doing is replaying a real recorded race using the in-game engine and showing the FPS. This is perfect as every joe snuffy in the world can test the same benchmark of real in-game play against each other if using the same settings. If [H] uses some custom run through of their own devising, unless they release what they did it is of little use to other gamers for reference.
Now, out of-game benchmarks that don't take actual game play into account like Heaven 2.5, Metro2033 etc are the ones that can be "tweaked" by different drivers/companies to get the maximum possible score. Those are the ones to worry about.
In my SLI scaling thread, A-10C, Crysis 2, Batman and Metro2033 were all in game FPS measurements and not "benchmarks".
Interesting results, are interesting.
Tired reviewer, is tired.
3AM, is 3AM.
uhhhhh
dude, those tests, they are at 720p... no wonder that they are cpu limited, don't ya think?
Screen Width1280 1280
Screen Height720 720
All you AMD fanboys make me laugh, if these benches...

So many tables turning everywhere I think I leaned too hard on the infinite improbability drive button again.
gossip news also found trifire very quick.

I just find it interesting that those with the shortest time on these forums are those with the strongest opinion of how [H] should be run.

People with more years on these forums - on average - have been on this earth a little bit longer.
With age comes maturity, and the realization that you cant (and probably even shouldn't) always have things your way.
Those of us who have been around a bit longer know how Kyle and the gang go to the greatest practical extents to tell the story as well as possible. We also know that they can not please everyone all the time, and are OK with that, because nobody can, and it is unreasonable to expect them to.
That doesn't mean we don't throw out a suggestion or ask a question every now and then however
I've been on this forum for 10 years, I used to run a hardware review site and I've probably run more benchmarks in my life than most people on this forum. That said, I don't think that makes me any more or less qualified to comment.Those who can't afford two 580s should refrain from calling a failed benchmark for what it is,
but in your case, being an owner of two measly $500 cards makes you an expert on the whole fucking industry?
What experimental school of logic did you attend
So when is the update scheduled to go up?
I think only Single Screen single GPU card performance crown. That is really where most people game. Also perhaps Single Screen Multi GPU could be a good scenario for them.
You have us want sneak peaks
28, 120, 79.7, 29, 105, 64.1
that's all you get
