If the used the 3gig version of the 580 or evga classified 580 card it would smoke the crossfire setup listed at the top of gpus. My 470's perform better than the test results on ultra setting and with 2xmsaa, I never go under 60fps @1920x1200 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

Like the old saying says: your mileage may vary! I also get numbers a little different that what's in the review... (dual 560Tis here) But, while you're partly right about CPU overclocking, indications tend to show that any quad mildy clocked would be enough and won't lead to FPS increase...BF3 is a lot more GPU dependant. For the graphics cards, and the EVGA 580 3Gb...well, pretty limited edition, and the price is retarded. I was the proud owner of an EVGA GTX590 classified for a few weeks and although that card was powerful, I get the same 3Dmarks11 Pscore with my two 560TI's Twin frozrII OC...of course it's all resolution dependant...... That being said all info is beneficial to the people shopping for new hardware! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

With me Tuesday,thx for the advice You'll like it! it's got a pretty good review from HardOcp: http://www.hardocp.com/article/2011/07/25/sapphire_hd_6950_2gb_dirt_3_video_card_review/1 With a 2GB frame buffer, you should run the game on all HIGH, with a few ULTRA settings, especially with vSYNC enabled... I'm an nVIDIA guy myself, but this Sapphire card you ordered did really a good impression! A trick with the 6950 mods tho... you can mod the card to enable all the shaders, but you don't want to mod the memory.... I think that the dual BIOS switch has the already-loaded tweaked BIOS (to turn the 6950 into a 6970 "shader-wize") Enjoy! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards

On stock speeds it would cut fps but you are also right fps won't go up much going from 3.6ghz(mild) to 4.2ghz(high as most 920 will go on air cooling). The price of any 580-590 or 6990's or way too high! IMO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options... Awards
