...A lot of 5970 haters in here... add me to the list. I don't hate Crossfire...just the 5970. I should have learned my lesson from the 4870x2... never again.
OP: I picked up a pair of Asus 580s from Newegg too...(Thursday). Very happy so far.
Best cards I've had in a while... 900MHz seems so be the ..safe oc.. limit for me. Both cards will do 850 on stock voltage. I can bench them at 950 no problem but they are not OCCT stable (power throttling/ocp disabled). If a card won't pass OCCT full load then it will eventually crash in a game (from my experience). It's not like it matters either way since they are so fast stock.
I've recently (past year) had a GTX 285, GTX 295 Quad SLI, 5850, 5970, 5970/5870 Tri-Fire, GTX 480, 2x GTX 470s, 2x GTX 570s, and now the 580s. I quit...until next gen.
How's that 3011 working out for you? I recently picked up an AW2310. 120Hz is great and 3D Vision is neat I just don't know if I can live with a TN panel. I'm on my second AW2310 as the first one was unacceptable(back light bleed and other issues...2nd monitor is much better).
