[QUOTE="evildead6789"]Asus boards are better.evildead6789

Guess who owns and makes ASRock boards.

Thats not even true. Current ASUS boards don't support PCI-E 3.0, while ASRock boards will support it natively with Ivy Bridge. And some of the best rated Sandy Bridge boards are ASRock. Not to mention there is almost no performance increase between quality motherboards.

Anyone own this? Looking for a review can't seem to find one online. Trying to save $400 by getting two of these instead of two gtx 580s. Do they OC to 900~ well? The 100% scaling is a real turn on.

Read the reviews.

I don't know when, but they're supposed to release a 580 classified sometime soon, very much not a reference cooler.

71% 5 egg reviews is pretty good.

[QUOTE="04dcarraher"] OK do the simple math here say a SB is the base line performance of 1 has 4 cores = 4, Bulldozer is .75 has 8 cores = 6, that s a big "if". that "if" BD is only 75% of SB performance wise. Chances are BD will be nearly the same or faster , I dont know where you come up with this idea or your you misunderstood of what I was saying. Now if your just comparing 4 cores vs 4 cores then you would have a wrong comparison. Its like comparing a dual core to a quad when each core performs very close to each other clock per clock.

[QUOTE="GTR12"]

Is the 6950 or GTX560 Ti in that budget?

AndyAlfredo

I don't believe so.

That's 6850/6870 and 460/560 level.

There's a couple 560 ti's around that range.
