Matrix GTX580 Platinum or GTX590?
Sunday, January 1, 2012 by Jafo | Discussion: Personal Computing
OK....getting frustrated with frame rates in FSX [am still skinning planes] ...and the 'old' XFX GTX285 isn't the biggest kid on the block anymore.
Either way it'll cost a few bob...but the 'boss' says I'm flying around enough to warrant it.... and F1 2010 will look pretty bloody spiffy too.....
The MoBo is an ASUS [P6T se] ... the Monitor's ASUS too...so am leaning to ASUS vers of the cards....[devil you know]
PSU won't be taxed....it was 'future-proof' [TruePower Quattro 1000w] ....but the wallet will take a hit......
Any thoughts?

Amazing graphics, but then again you wouldn't expect any less for the price of the card

The default screen cap proggy that comes with the card always seemed to conflict with the game key settings...so used Fraps instead...since it was loaded anyway.
Here's 'me' coming into turn 3 at Albert Park [Melbourne] [worked that corner in '97] .... and yes, I'm not on raceline....anyone where I am has clearly got a problem [me - I was screen-capping].
120fps at full detail .... it's mesmerising watching the shadows and reflections just on the helmet...
