Palit 3GB GTX 580 Has hit Newegg

Not true. The 3GB Palit card is quite a bit cooler than ref, I can vouch for this having had both in the exact same case with same cooling.
Looking at your sig, you don't seem to be in any position to state this as categorically as you have.

I got a email from Palit , with a link to this Youtube video

4- WAY gtx 580 3gb . Some cool looking hardware setups
The beginning shows 4 gtx 580's liquid cooled with some nice hardware linking the cards

Now THAT is a rig.

That is a seriously good looking piece of equipment...looks like the whole lot is held suspended up off the ground....Mmmmm Black and Silver, you gotta love the wad of power cables going the the cards...LMAO!

Turns out these cards cannot be SLI'ed on a P8P67-M PRO in a Lian Li PC-V354 case.
Top card overheats and throttles. Sent them both back and waiting for a 590.

Cards like this are good for GPU rendering with a rendering app like Octane where you need to load the entire scene into vRAM complete with all the materials, textures etc. They are a viable alternative to spending x10 the amount on a Quadro card for zero benefit with this specific use in mind. This card maybe an overpriced gaming red herring but at the same time it's also an under priced GPU rendering monster. Octane is coded for CUDA only so AMD cards are not an option. This card has it's niche and you just need the right scene and benchmark to show it in a good light.

hopefully Hardocp.com can get two of these and redo the 3x 1080p benchmarks vs the 6990/6970 setup

Wouldn't take change the cost control? Woof these things are almost the cost of a 6990!

The fellow running these in quad SLI , in the other thread is feeding them in to 3 X $1300 dollar 30 inch monitors.
Something for everyone I guess.

depends but not going into that then we will go off topic. Thinking about swopping my 1.5gb ones in waiting on the Zotacs to be released

oh the hps they're almost the same as Dell. Well they use the same panels sponsored by LG. He wouldve really put a cherry on the cake with a HEC monitor

You pretty much need to get the P67 Revolution or a mobo that allows you to move a card down a slot. These high end cards can't handle being cramped with 2mm of space between each other.

I can only see this being good for GTX 580 sli setups with triple-monitor or a 30-inch screen. Those are usually the people that have money to blow anyways. Obviously, it's their money. Have fun.
