580 lightning bottle neck?

[cbiltsouris]

hey guys

I managed to get a 580 lightning yesterday at the expense of one of my asus onea

now I absolutly adore this thing. however I was gonna do some experimenting with it.

will the lightning be bottlenecked if I add 1 of my 460 hawk clocked at 780mhz as a phisx card?

It will! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cbww3dhzK0M

Why would you put a dedicated physx card? there aren't a lot of games supporting it.

Just get another lightning and you win! =D

that is a 7900gt no where near a overclocked hawk seb

If you've got the 460 already what's the harm in trying?

If you don't have it it won't give you any severe performance boost that would warrant the money spent.

I myself am considering chucking my GTX260 in for a personal test some day.

lol grizzly ive got 2 hawks, im trying it now and I think its alright, both are stock atm and ive just left the other 460 in a box

well i want to join folding at home thingy properly

and i want my two 460s and my lightning on one board but i dont think thats possible I might need to upgrade the

850ax to the 1200ax which means more money

or just leave like this

To run those three you'd definitely need a 1200 instead, perhaps wait until you've got enough spare parts left over to build a dedicated folding rig and throw both your 460s on that. And add to that any extra parts you replace in future.

Yeah got 960 on the core, 2320 on memory, benching as I type this.

Any higher and I get a device removed error when at random places in 3DMark/Unigine.

I think you kinda missed the point of this video a gtx 460 is more powerful than a gtx 550 ti.

I have 2 zotac Amps which are factory overclocked to 850mhz, instead of the 800 of the lightning. The reason I say this is because I was having some problems with running SLI and decided to take out the second 580 and put in my trusty 560 TI (very similar to 460) and there was no difference between running a single 580 with or without the dedicated physics from the 560, FPS was identical from what I could see. I have since gone back to SLI after figuring out my problem. You should be fine.

But my 460 is at 960mhz on the core, however I've managed to over 1008mhz on my lightning
