iluvstrats2 Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Went ahead and got the other 590. Curious to see how much juice they eat up. May have to get one of those watt meter things. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Stonerboy779 Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 You might beat me, I have to get through testing GTX 580's in single, SLI and Tri SLI before I move to the 590's. I am betting I should be around 1K under full load. Does this mean we will be having some sort of review/comparison of the gtx 580 and 590 in the different set ups of single cards and sli? A power vs performance vs price sorta thing? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iluvstrats2 Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Wonder how tri 580's would pair up against two 590's? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nyt Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 Wonder how tri 580's would pair up against two 590's? They would stomp all over the two 590's lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

iluvstrats2 Posted October 19, 2011 Posted October 19, 2011 I'll be hitting every benchmark I have. Maybe get some good scores on 3dmark11. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Boinker Posted October 20, 2011 Posted October 20, 2011 If it helps I used a killowatt on my 480s when they were in 3x sli and the wattage with them was1280watts from the wall so that rounds out about 1000-1100 for the three cards and an i7 920 overclocked to 4.30ghz attached to a workstation motherboard. The psu was a cm silent gold 1200 Watt..... it wasn't silent during that test though. Lol Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
aspevacek Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 I am running a pair of the EVGA GTX 590 Classifieds in SLI on a Corsair AX1200 I will say it is nice smooth power for them with out a hitch. http://www.flickr.com/photos/66488091@N06/ this flikr has pics of my PC with wiring.

aspevacek Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Wonder how tri 580's would pair up against two 590's? I am willing to bet based on the clock limitations of the GTX 590 cards the 3 580s would beat them up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
iluvstrats2 Posted October 25, 2011 Posted October 25, 2011 Got them setup and now for some benchmarking. Mid tower case and cable management is not fun. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
