I'm thinking about getting one. How loud is it under full load, and
how powerful is you PSU?
Hey all,
Just thought I'd share this with you. Hope to have a more complete benchmark results on the GTX-580 this weekend that I can share but here are the quick results of Unigine's Heaven Benchmark. Three quick benches were done on openSUSE 11.3, Windows 7 64 with DX11 and openGL on extreme tessellation.

I'm thinking about getting one. How loud is it under full load, and

It's quieter then the MSI Twin Frozer GTX-275 I had in this system under full load. On idle I hear the harddrives over it. Very quiet card. As far as a power supply goes, I'm using a PC Power and Cooling 750 and it handles it all just fine (7 harddrives, 2 optical drives, 1090T processor, additional 8800GT for Cuda work, soundcard,....).
Overall extremely pleased with this card so far. So far everything "Just works" and I have not come across any glitches yet.
Cool card, if somebody has 1 too much i would certainly like to test it![]()
What Windows drivers did you use?
I bought a GTX580 as well but i have no Windows on my PC so i can't compare it. I also had a GTX275 TwinFrozr before and the 580 is a great upgrade i really like the card so far, can't wait to play the OilRush game on it. Will post my Heaven score here soon.
