Asus Matrix Platinum GTX 580 1.5GB Review

Tom Clancy’s H.A.W.X. 2 is an arcade-style flight action game developed by Ubisoft Romania and published by Ubisoft. After the events of the first game, the H.A.W.X squadron is sent to Middle East, where a high level of violence is being registered, and the appearance of various insurgents leaders in various hotspots. The team also has to investigate the mysterious disappearance of Russian nuclear weapons. The player will be controlling three groups: one American (Hunter), one British (Munro) and one Russian (Sokov), each with its own pilots and supporting characters. There will also be references to other characters in the Tom Clancy universe.

We are testing in full DX11 mode with all settings to maximum.

A game which is heavily slanted towards Nvidia hardware. The GTX590 leads the pack by a significant margin, followed by the HD6990 in QuadfireX (yes, seriously). The Asus Matrix Platinum GTX580 outperforms the AMD HD6990.

  1. Great look card, but it seems overpriced tbh.

  2. 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.

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

  4. Another dream card I will never be able to afford.

  5. 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.

  6. Great pictures, any chance you could send some of them to me for my desktop? email is in this posting.

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

  8. 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.

  9. 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.

  10. chance you could send some of them to me for my desktop?
