Asus Matrix Platinum GTX 580 1.5GB Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell July 4, 2011 Featured Announcement, Graphics

Mafia II is a gritty drama which chronicles the rise of World War II veteran Vito Scaletta, the son of Sicilian immigrants. As the game progresses, Vito will join the Falcone Crime Family and become a made man. There are 15 chapters in the game, connected into one storyline.

We tested at 2560×1600 with fullscreen: on, antialiasing:on , Anisotrophic filtering: 16x, Shadow Quality: High, Ambient Occlusion: on, Geometry Detail: High and APEX PhysX: medium.

With PhysX enabled this is a demanding game and the lower end hardware struggles at these settings. No such problems for the Asus Matrix Platinum GTX580 however, with an average frame rate of 53.

    Great look card, but it seems overpriced tbh.

    Their reputation as one of the finest makers of video cards and motherboards is always strengthened when these reviews appear. The overall design is fantastic and it will be ideal for overclockers. I cant help but feel that those people will ditch the 3 slot cooler for phase however.

    Impressive, but the price isn’t quite so appealing. ill stick to the mid/low end I think !

    WHile this card is certainly a good showpiece for Asus, its not really practical for the mainstream audience. who cares about soldering? I dont think even most overclockers do. its too high end for 99.9% of the audience. good reading however, thanks.

    Nice looking card indeed. not so sure about the three slot cooler however, is that ‘really’ needed?

    Asus get lost with 3 slot cooling on a card which brings nothing new to the market. I could understand 3 slots on GTX590. Why not on such a monster card, but not on 580 (or 570 for that matter). Overpriced like hell.

    MSI TwinFrozrIII Lighting GTX580 eats that Asus for breakfast.

    Looks like the MSI Lightning 580 is still a better card, mine stays under 65 degrees at 900mhz core while the card is still only double slot.
