EVGA GTX 580 QUAD SLI vs TRI SLI Heaven 2.1 2560x1600

[cory2146]

I can't wait to get this game when it comes out.

[punkkerboyzz]

why only 12gb of ram in that kind of monster??

[DeagleHiTMaN]

I heard some faggots saying Heaven 2.1 is old LOL what the fuck?. Go run it and see how your shitty PC blows up Maxishine come back :(

[gidgiddonihah13]

If I only had this kind of money....

[iNf3rNuSdI4bLuS1]

only thing i don't like aobut evga cards are that they are puching a

REFERENCE design, with stock components, why they can't make custom PCBs with better quality components like msi or asus, and so have better quality and better performance, cause for example a msi gtx560ti twin frozr II compared to an evga gtx560ti "superclocked" the msi is still faster, more stable, more reliable, and sun cool, while the superclocked is pushing and shitty reference design. and that why i don't like evga

[jangofet555]

why does it stutter, its supposed to be fluid

[k3v1nfbr]

Nice microshutter :(

[essenaopodeter]

Ok but, will it blend?

[boy3600]

But will it run Minecraft?

[willfullcookie]

@boy3600 probably not lol

[FolPwnsU]

@boy3600 lol prob struggles to run tetris 

[RoxxPC]

you pay that much money and dont buy the evga quad sli bridge?

[4ManHouseParty]

SWEET JESUS MAN TURN THAT OFF YOULL BURN THROUGH TO THE CENTER OF THE EARTH

[MrIwesseli]

if that pc was a car, it would be a very fast car :)

[AndrewHume1]

I bet that runs minesweeper like a beast

[jh3496]

Since you're on water OC those 580's to OVERONETHOUSAND mhz? I've got my air 6970 at 1300mhz core clock :D.

[wemmetje1]

@jh3496 lol your point is?? its a completly different card,

around 1000mhz is pushing the limits of these cards.

you cant compare the core frequency of one card to another :p

[jh3496]

@wemmetje1 Well percentage wise you kinda can. The stock clocks are on the limits TDP or HEAT on the top single GPU card/dual GPU card. Max has no issue with a heat limiter ATM, nor does he have an issue with power delivery (yet) so I think he should OC it a teency bit more. For some reason I'm also a fan of seemingly big, and rounded to 10/100/1000 numbers.

[wemmetje1]

@jh3496 i know he doesnt have a power or heat issue but still,

its like overclocking a 2600k to 8 ghz just because you have ln2 cooling and a 1500w power supply,it just isnt stable

the limits of these cards are somewere bethween 1000/1080 on water,and this gets even harder if you're running quad sli,you just start to get glitches at those speeds regardless if your temps are great and have a very good power supply ;)

[jh3496]

@wemmetje1 If I had an auto LN2 I'd run my 3930k at at least 5 ghz...

[Darkedor]

But, can it run Tetris?

[Munro98]

nasa wants their computer back

[TheMaristBoy]

But can it run pong? Of course it can't! xD

[onebighoe]

This music reminds me of abes odyssey.

[Edge0fPain]

But can it run Tetris?

[rminb010204]

And only for a moment did I feel badass with my little 6970 crossfire setup. I then made the mistake of lookin' up Maxishine.

[DeRockProductions]

@UnufcE He has AA turned all the way up, as well as AF all the way up too. Also, he might be running across multiple monitors.

[Swagdaddy777]

@DeRockProductions hes running on 3 monitors

[Blu0tuth0ninja]

wait, i thought i saw some lag!... oh, wait, that's youtube.

[Blu0tuth0ninja]

wow, this thing could run the entire matrix... alone!

[PonzuMeat]

@UnufcE What is your resolution?

[Dataacid]

omg that's some heavy MACROstuttering :p

[Arnoud1987000]

NOW WHEN GAMES BECOME LIKE THIS!! fuck consoles

[jolichja]

@Arnoud1987000 The next gen consoles will probably have graphics somewhere close to this level of detail. Not to say that the hardware will be anywhere near as good as this it's just that game developers can optimize much better to the hardware of a console.

[Blu0tuth0ninja]

@jolichja the next gen console should have hardware close to this. by the time it comes out, this stuff most likely will be relatively cheap.

[NUUclearprotein]

My computer's lagging trying to watch this video

[nostradamus1915]

This is the GAS

[dankuro97]

my computer just can handle up to 10 fps, minimum graphics.

[NoobsAreUsh]

Nehalem makes multi gpu platforms scale so damned well

[redxilljs]

@jh3496 Well first of all, you can't see much of a difference between 30 and 40 fps so any higher is pointless. You're right about it being gone with fps higher than the monitor's refresh, but then you get lovely screen tears. So no thank you.

[SuperMaexle123]

@MouthofSaurons because of microstuttering caused by the sli array. thats why id never use sli/cf unless you really need 3 1080p or 1200p displays

[MouthofSaurons]

why does it seem kinda laggy/choppy?

[redxilljs]

@KingFuckaDuck /facepalm..... Learn to tweak you pc correctly... I run everything perfectly smooth max settings and 8xaf at a little lower resolution. It runs very smooth and the human eye can't even tell the difference between anything higher unless you're running on some ridiculously large screen. 580 is a monster.

[redxilljs]

Look at the horrible microstudder.... that's terrible TERRIBLE waste of money. Just use one and it'll be beautiful and smooth.

[KingFuckaDuck]

@redxilljs it wont on max graphics...

[jh3496]

@redxilljs That is just because youtube is at 30 fps MAX. Try it yourself, download FRAPS for free and run it, THIS GUYS MIN fps is in the 30-40s on a BENCHMARK. In real games it'll be 70-90's, except in high intense effect scenes with explosions etc. Microstuter is only visible if you have sli/crossfire, and if the fps is lower than the screen refresh rate. Find me a screen over 1920X1200 resolution which runs at more than 60fps? I dare you.

[piggemy]

but will it blend

[PiggyWigglies]

Can you run textdocument.exe?

[kooooooly]

@PiggyWigglies you gotta put everything on low settings and overlocked to max to even type 3 words

[allofyousuckla]

@PiggyWigglies Wow a new demanding program I see.So in that case does it run control panel? Lol.

[yopperpo2]

How the hell did you get quad SLI?

[xAxisTechOFFICIAL]

@yopperpo2 get 4 580's, a motherboard with 4 dual slot PCI-e connections, and a quad sli bridge. And a HUGE powersupply

[yopperpo2]

@xAxisTechOFFICIAL I mean, how did he afford it :(

[KingFuckaDuck]

@yopperpo2 Its 3 way SLI with a dedicated PhysX card

[yopperpo2]

@KingFuckaDuck I'm So Jealous :(((((((((((((((

[Tuttifrutti646]

#OMG

[Rajiv4125]

Could you try running cod blackops maxed out at 1920x1080 or something like that and tell us if you can get 333fps constant in multiplayer :D

Something tells me even this can't get that fps CONSTANT in that trash game :D

[LasseLiten1337]

DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA­AAMN... That's pretty much the computer of my dreams.

[hundegaga]

wtf xeon ...

[yhrmhjgs]

thats insanity !

[Jaythre]

cool but, will it play chess?

[MDethfan]

HD 6990's CrossfireX 1025/1500 & 990x @ 4.6

Heaven Benchmark v2.1

FPS: 82.1

Scores: 2069

Min FPS: 22.7

Max FPS: 183.7

[MDethfan]

@MDethfan oh @ 2560x1600 8AA 16AF Tess Extreme (all mirrored settings)

[ganaschico]

why dont u go for professional grade gpus and really impress me

[M4rKZoRZ]

At this rate you should just go Quad SLI with the Nvidia Tesla GPUs and see you get 250fps in the Heaven 2.1 benchmark.

[M4rKZoRZ]

to be honest I believe that the difference is only marginal. both of the setups are averaging upwards of 60 fps, and any higher framerates are probably not even noticeable. So chances are you won't need the gtx 580 :P

Just felt like I should mention that lol.

[benigo15]

Have you tried to rerun this with the newest drivers that being 270.something? if so how much of a fps increase did you get?

[MouthofSaurons]

bragging rights.. :P

[marioluigi321]

get a GTX590 quad SLI. Technically one of these beasts has a 61% performance increase from the GTX580.

[benigo15]

@marioluigi321 i wish but you can only run those in 2 way sli because they are already running 2 way sli inside the card itself.

[koalabear2]

I dont know why people keep mentioning that this costs so expensive.

Rather that it only cost approximately 4-8 grand for probably his whole rig.

You guys can go to apple's website and tick all stuff on their website and it topples to around $32K + Taxes.

Or any other computer selling retailers :I

[Pasipas96]

my max frames are so big than your min frames

[FOGoticus]

The stuttering in this video is epic.

I guess that the northbridge was having the trip of his life while doing this benchmark.

And yes I know that it's fraps benchmark video and that the true scores are filmed with a camera, and that fraps makes the stuttering in this video.

[Leignheart]

@FOGoticus i think the stuttering was do to a little thing called micro stuttering since he has so many gpus. i have an i for it now ever since i quadfired 5970s. the micro stuttering was horrible.

[pieflyNERD]

@Leignheart it is impossible to quadfire a dual gpu card...the max that the 5970(2 5870 in a card) can go is just 2 way crossfire.

[Leignheart]

@pieflyNERD oh my god you were not just stupid enough to say that to me, listen you admited yourself that the 5970 is a duel gpu card (2 gpus), that means if i have 2 5970s thats 4 gpus. and quad means 4. so with 3 5970s crossfired, that means im quadfiring my system because i have 4 gpus that are quadfired. even unigine heaven benchmark tells me im quad fired. obviously i know i cant have a physical 4 5970s, that would be 8 gpus. next time know what your talking about.

[Leignheart]

@pieflyNERD and by the way i actually have 5 gpus in my system if you want to include the physx card i have with the 5970s.

[Leignheart]

and also i meant to say 2 5970s not 3. sorry for the typo.

[quangluu96]

quad GTX 580 is like 2000$ -..-

[mattehISme]

but will it blend?

[GeekingForJesus]

I WOULD do a quad-SLI setup, but the only thing that bugs me is that when the new DX comes out, a quad-SLI setup is stuck in the last generation, no matter how powerful it is.

[Mr5eXLove]

this looks like an other Avatar movie :D

Hey How Much Will it Cost for this Configuration ......

[JeemOfRunescape]

i totaly got orgasm @ 00:16

[sssslamin]

i wish youtube would support 1600p already! its frickin 2011!

[JineshJK]

AWESOME...!!!

[techlinkmedia]

so it looks like the 4th card make a damn bit of difference! thats a trip, i wonder if going from 2 to 3 is the same. way. if it is what a giant waste of cash!

[arpeeze]

Fucking sexy

[DerMasterFisch]

well too bad Unigine is not a game for enjoy. so 4 core gpu seems useless. :)

[slyhammer123]

my little macbook cant handle this vid :/

[AsianPerson3]

@slyhammer123 Its a mac.

[slyhammer123]

@AsianPerson3 ok stupid asian

[AsianPerson3]

@slyhammer123 Oooo good one! Thats all you got? Damn I'm sorry I expected more.

[slyhammer123]

@AsianPerson3 wtf does it care that`s a mac or macbook

[AsianPerson3]

@slyhammer123 They both suck.

[lorin1996]

@slyhammer123 for the same price of your macbook you could've buy a pretty good computer^^ (not a high-end comp. but still a good one)

[FOGoticus]

@slyhammer123 Fucking lol'd

[LiquidXiron]

Guess no need for Quad, same minimum FPS

[lChippeRl]

can u post ur 3d mark scores with that system?

i think u got most of the world records in 03 05 06 vantage and 2011 :)

[rlinfinity]

But can it play dig dug?

[beethz]

How come the quad SLI has a lower min FPS?

[Raptorgangtsa]

What this thing could do in 1440x900 res on Metro 2033? 150 FPS?

[TOBIjenster]

@Raptorgangtsa minimum ;)

[niko7496]

Nvidia Quadro Plex 7000

[Loqtaar]

DX 10 with tessellation? look at the left side there u can see that this vid is recorded with DX 10

[EmoticonMayhem]

your min frame rate is the same as most people's max lol

[houston11ss]

@EmoticonMayhem and Thats while recording

[ScHMiLLa81]

@EmoticonMayhem but have u seen the res he is running at tho!!!

[PCGamerOfToday]

@EmoticonMayhem times 4

[dylanmeuesen]

lol this is video 183 #FAIL

[GeekingForJesus]

I understand getting SLI when the card first comes out. But what's the point of 3-way SLI? ESPECIALLY since Kepler is coming out this year...

[pinaatjestje]

lol my pc can't even handle the vid in 360p...

[fireoil]

well for all that price, i'am not impressive about graphics withouts results ... games on consoles are really optimised when i see that lol.

I found dX10 volumetrics shadows are so weird in some situation, abusive utilisation, like crysis

[Eldood1000]

why does everyone say AMD is good for processors. they are complete shit. when intel released the core duo it was a lot faster than AMD's top of the line processor at the time and it costed 1/3 of the price.

[IronDonkeyProduction]

@Eldood1000

I've had the intel core duo, but it seems almost useless for multi tasking! once i got amd's 1055t it have always done what i ask it to do.. And the processor havent reached 40c yet, even when playing crysis maxed out with high resolution... And when on crysis, it only uses two of the six procsessors that the amd have, STILL NO LAG! So please, dont say amd is ''shit''.. when amd is good for its stuff, and intel is good for its stuff.. 'nuff said

[D34N6232]

i7 870 @ 4GHz + EVGA GTX460 [2-Way SLI] = 120 FPS on Black Ops in full settings (1080p)

[Eldood1000]

@D34N6232 it would be best if you got a gtx 580 instead of 2 gtx 480's

[D34N6232]

@Eldood1000 *460* but it was the perfect upgrade from 2x 8800GT

[nightfire144]

maxishine love the vid any chance you can test just standard sli with the 580?

[AlexandreNegrao]

Bet Sheldon, Raj, Leonard and Howard had a 3 way ejaculation by watching this...

[AlexandreNegrao]

Man...that`s some awesome personal computer this guy assembled up!

[VinnieMaNN]

this is like the best configuration ive seen so far on youtube. love the specs

[madjimms]

@yamaha3240 Someone has a potty mouth.

[Lurkzz]

i guess my Asus G2 laptop is getting outdated :D

[Eekhoornstaartlolly]

I don't he buys those things especially if he uses them for less them a week before changing. I'm pretty sure he gets them. Not to mention the irresponsibility of spending so much on a hobby so expensive while having a family with kids for who I would save as much money as I can.

[Eldood1000]

@Eekhoornstaartlolly thats because he isnt your average person. he obviously has money.

[omegax05]

You know what I don't understand. Why do people spend money on sli/crossfire for only 25% increase in FPS with 100% increase in power and heat generated by the extra card? I would rather buy one GTX 580 and be happy and have money for the titty bar, then 4 and have to settle for a double date with vaselina and palmela handerson.

[spilot14]

@omegax05 Uh. Maxishine is ALWAYS buying/selling. He never kept his gear for more than few days until he sells it.

[omegax05]

@spilot14 Not even close to what I'm getting at. I would never buy more then What I need. You don't need 12gb of DDR3, some super fast SDD, $600 mobo a quad sli and all that jazz.. The only way to justify all that is if your folding@ home.

[spilot14]

@omegax05 He doesn't buy what he needs. He buys for our entertainment.

[spilot14]

@omegax05 Besides, shows you that a Quad SLI GTX 580 is shit for price:performance ratio. So people thinking in buying Quad SLI could get a hint what an avg fps they gonna get and reconsider.

[omegax05]

@spilot14 Apparently you still don't understand what I'm saying. Sure he does it for the ultra user who has money to flash around. But this is irrelevant to the everyday gamer. Running SLI/Crossfire IMO is a waste of money. If you buy something that matches the original and they work in sync, then your should get a 100% boost in performance, not 25%. Thats what I'm getting at and thats why again IMO a single card is the best price/performance.

[spilot14]

@omegax05 tl;dr

[omegax05]

@spilot14 ytfs

[Eldood1000]

@omegax05 he doesnt run 3 or 4 cards on 1 moniter. he has 3 moniters and dedicates 1 graphics card to each. and crossfire/sli isnt a waste of money because you can dedicate 1 graphics card to use physx and use the other as a regular graphics card. running crossfire/sli also smoothes out gameplay and performance.

[Eldood1000]

@omegax05 thats because there are other things people use crossfire/sli cards for. such as cuda and or physx.

[omegax05]

@Eldood1000 Now the multiple monitor I understand.. Assign each monitor to a GPU for smoother gameplay. Now SLI/crossfire for a single monitor is just retarded. It's not worth the total cost of ownership in the long run. I just dont see the reason to spend extra money on a part thats not even going to give maximum performance and will just be obsolete within a few months.

[Eldood1000]

@omegax05 sli in 1 moniter is actually good. after that it is sort of a waste in money but it still does increase performance.

[omegax05]

@Eldood1000 But can you justify spending another $500 in another video card just to make the jump from 60fps to 75fps?

[hickon323]

are you playing for FPS or quality most of time

[Eldood1000]

@hickon323 he plays into quality not fps.

[hum901]

@maxishine what do you use to record these types of video?

[imalwayswatchingu00]

@TheTopOfTheCrop Haha, I would also do that.

[Herooftimex]

the quad sli computer must have cost $3500-$4000. Which results in 76.5fps avg. on the heaven benchmark. Doesn't really seem worth is to me.

[falubii]

@Herooftimex lololol if only it were that cheap.

[hum901]

@Herooftimex He is runnig Extreme Tesselation, AAx16, AFx8 and all of this on a resolution of 2560x1600. It may not seem worth it but when you think about it thats pretty good.

[TehAndrewRyan]

@hum901 Wow, on those settings I get like 5 fps on a Radeon 5850 :P

[lKitel]

@Herooftimex

It's all about the bragging rights.

[BerriesMcGOO]

@Herooftimex It does to me

[Theslywaffle]

@Herooftimex keep in mind that is is on a crazy bonkers resolution with a craazy bonkers aa level then with everything maxed

[IronDonkeyProduction]

@Herooftimex

Yeah, but none of the cards are really struggling.. wich means that on games like crysis 2, this pc will at least have a chance ;)

[re4pt0x]

@IronDonkeyProduction crysis 2 will run on consoles.. it will need LESS power than crysis..

[IronDonkeyProduction]

@re4pt0x oh ..

[re4pt0x]

@IronDonkeyProduction :D yeah "oh" haha

crytek would kill themself if they would make something like this^^ they want to make more money bye make the game runable on the consoles, this needs alot of tricking, optimizing and the shaders needs to be a way more efficient etc.^^ the Whole thing will makes the engine alot faster for pcs too :)

[IronDonkeyProduction]

@re4pt0x

So do you think my 6 core computer will run it?

[re4pt0x]

@IronDonkeyProduction you realize that 6 cores are pretty much useless for nearly everygame xD because even only a few of the newest games are able to use the full potential of a quadcore :o but yes, your cpu will be able to run it.. but hey.. crysis always was and always will be a gpu limited game ;)

[IronDonkeyProduction]

@re4pt0x

Well, i think I'm going to use my 6-core processor for more like editing heavy clips.. I've heard that 6-cores will also keep from getting so hot. My cpu always stays under 40 C when playing games and under 25 C within net surfing. Plus i get sky high fps ingame (on for example CSS, MW2, BO, etc, etc) so im pretty much satisfied with the amd 6-core (not clocked) :)

[re4pt0x]

@IronDonkeyProduction i oc'd my i5 760 to 4ghz with a voltage of only 1.225v :) with the usage of a H50 corsair cooler i stay below 50° at gaming and 32° at idle^^ 62° at prime95 of course but you never reach that temp while gaming and the i5 are made to be used at 72° :D

[IronDonkeyProduction]

@re4pt0x

Nice :)

[Eldood1000]

@IronDonkeyProduction you dont need a 6core processor to run games like that. i can take a pentium 4 and run it smoothly.

[re4pt0x]

@Herooftimex ... turn off 16xAA and with DX11 you would reach at least 200fps avg.. so yeah. pwned :)

[CrytpicMetaphor]

@Herooftimex 76.5 FPS on a 2560x1600 resolution.
