Why you not test GTX 580.
Wow, 590 55fps at 1200p. Wasnt that card priced like the 690 on release.

I have yet to play this game. But at least I know what to expect when I get around to it. Hopefully by then the drivers and the performance will be better.

Yeah it won't bring you more perf alright, only with like 8xMSAA you'll see some benefits, but who realistically is running 8xMSAA with this game engine ?

I agree the 580 is a classic and very popular, just wanna say thnks again for the vram usage and the cpu scaling parts, and of course testing the game at full ultra, absolutely the best job ever, HH.

Crossfire performance is terrible, stutter fest. Runs smooth on 1 GPU.

670 has a lot of horsepower and AMD equivalent, rolling into 2013 with a 580 you're gonna need to make compromises in the candy dept.

Nice performance review but its missing one element.
Was a 3.7GHz 2600K (equiv) enough or were there times it limited the framerate?
