Gainward Readies GeForce GTX 580 Phantom 3 GB Graphics Card

Wile E · Jan 22, 2011

Leave it to Palit/Gainward to double the amount of memory. I want to see more big memory cards like this.

big difference

i believe that the 3gb edition is exactly what nvidia needed to surpass the 6970 hands down..i just bought 2 evga gtx 580's,upgrade from xfire 5850's, and now want to return for 2 of these.i use 3 screens and was kind of annoyed that my expensive ass cards were running about the same in multi monitor as less expensive 6970's.problem solved hopefully.and this is my first nvidia setup ever,no fanboy crap here

I have to see benches, otherwise I am not sold. I could give 2 shits about a 3Gb 580 unless it can perform, especially demanding dx11 games.

It is a card that would be great for high resolution SLi configurations, especially multi-monitor configs. This card is perfect for SLi.

And perfect for high levels of AA!

ATM this puppy is $500 euros in Berlin.

I dunno if is really worth, other besides multi-monitor ambient.

And "3D" (those you need glasses) is a bad joke!

Besides, you really need two of them to take some real advantage.

Nvidia GeForce GTX 580 3 GB Video Card.

I am currently building six core Intel system with 2 Nvidia GeForce GTX 580 3 GB video cards and liquid cooled. These cards are so new you can hardly find them. Now while surfing I find they are launching a new GTX 590 card on March 22. Nvidia doesn't even advertise them on their website. When do you build and know when to buy? Buy today, build today and something new comes out tomorrow. Never fails.

Hi all this is my first post here at this forum and it's to say I do own two of these 580's and they run real well it was a choice between the 580 and 590 3gig and after all the problems with the 590's I'm glad I chose these I've not run a bench Mark yet but I'm sure I'll be happy. They've run every thing I've thrown at them so I'm sure they'll score high enough to keep me happy for some time

Welcome to TPU Thevol

Do you overclock them? If so, what clocks are you reaching? Temps?

Hi and ty for the welcome no is you're answer and their totally stock there's no need for me to OC them I have never run a bench Mark before either so I'm quite a noob to benchmarking I have futuremark 3D Mark 11 installed but I'm still to work out how the rating system works the cards just running on norm i.e Blu-ray film or second life don't go over the 38 deg point but have yet to stress them the kit is still new only had it a couple of days still installing software and updates

if any body has any pointers on what bench tester I should use or if the one I've already mentioned is ok what kinda score should I expect and how it's worked out I'd be happy to listen all the best to every one.
