Metro 2033
Metro 2033 (DirectX 11)
Metro 2033 is one of the best looking PC games in years. By utilizing some advanced DX11 features as well as impressively high-quality shading routines this title pushes our graphics in way we have seen since the first days of Crysis.
We ran Metro 2033 with Advance DOF disabled because it brought all of the cards but the GTX 480 to an unplayable state.
The Matrix GTX 580 gets the win across the board here in our first test and the GTX 580 continues to dominate as the fastest single GPU graphics card on the planet.

I love how this card is not compared to a superior product, the N580GTX Lightning whihch you had on review 3 weeks ago 🙂
The lightning card was
The lightning card was reviewed by another editor that lives faarrrr away from me. 🙂
I read in another review that
I read in another review that its potential overclock is higher then MSI’s extreme lightning.
No, actual statistics from
No, actual statistics from HWBOT.org show that the Average overclocks of Lightning cards is higher under both air and LN2 cooling.
If you take the average OC of the cards it’s true and also the current rankings show it: http://hwbot.org/benchmark/3dmark11_-_performance/#cores=1
75% of the 3DMark11 580 scores are from MSI. (including the fastest card and the highest score)
So no, I don’t know where you read it but it’s false :p

“We managed to get the GPU frequency up to 891MHz, which is 75MHz faster than the out-of-box frequency, and 119MHz faster than a reference GTX 580. Also, because the shaders are locked to the GPU frequency, the shaders were running at 1782MHz, versus a stock GTX 580 of 1544MHz. Looking back at a couple of other evaluations, a MSI N580GTX Lightning video card achieved 893MHz GPU frequency, and an ASUS ENGTX580 DirectCU II video card achieved only 857MHz GPU frequency with no modification. So, this overclock is already better than ASUS’s own GTX 580 DirectCU II version, and on par with another high-end custom video card. ”
ASUS $530
MSI $600
Nice cherry picking Mark!
the
Nice cherry picking Mark!
the $600 you mention is of the 3GB Lightning Xtreme Edition, the regular Lightning is $525 (oh! cheaper than the Asus!) 🙂
If you take a wider sample variance instead of just [H] you’ll notice he averages are higher for the Lightning.
I was at a local event where they had 20 Lightnings and the average OC of those cards was over 1 GHz!
I really wanted to enjoy this
I really wanted to enjoy this card. NewEgg sent me one that was used. I immediately RMA’d it for another and they sent me yet another used one! I eventually received a refund and bought the MSI Lightning GTX580 Xtreme. It’s a monster overclocker, but I still want the ASUS Matrix. Since the ones I received were pre-used I never installed either one. I guess it isn’t too early to be thinking about a Christmas present for myself. Especially since Ivy Bridge has been put off for at least another 3 months. Or never?
This is an awesome card, I
This is an awesome card, I picked up one of these, a ROG Crosshair V formula motherboard, and some Gskill 2133 ram, and the setup FAR exceeded my expectations.. (still using AMD Phenom II 955 Black Edition cpu until Zambezi releases)

May I simply say what a relief to find a person that really understands what they’re talking about on the
net. You actually understand how to bring a problem to light and make it important.
More people really need to read this and understand this
side of your story. I was surprised that you’re not more popular since you certainly have the gift.
