Hey Guys,

I called up Tirupati Enterprises and was just enquiring about ASUS enGTX570 DC II and MSi GTX 570 TWIN FROZR II cards then suddenly...

The guy told me abt this card ----> Palit GeForce GTX 580 (3GB) gDDR5 GPU priced @ RS. 28.5K

I was like wtf.. are u sure its a 3GB card and he said yes, I have this part number with me so u can google this ---> "NE5X580010FB-1100 F" so got this result from newegg -----> Palit GTX 580


SO, jus asking u guys, is it worth taking this card? :confused:

will it be an overkill for my i7-920 processor..???? or will it be future proof say, if i plan to buy a 30" LCD monitor and upgrade to i7-980X ... ??? or even the 2nd generation of i7 processors..??

Plz gimme an honest reply...

also...


THe price for Palit GTX 580 Sonic Platinum Edition (1.5GB) told to me (by him) was Rs. 26.5K....

so wich to go for..??? (jus taking ur comments and suggestions) :)

if you go for multi-monitor setups in future, Palit's 3GB variant of 580 will be handy....
for single-monitor, however big may it be, 1.5GB is enuff IMO.

Its not an overkill for a 920 as well as single monitor setup. Games like Crysis Warhead was GPU killer & Metro 2033 is the new breed into those catagories.

Go ahead & buy the 3GB Model, its worth & much futureproof too.

But check for enough space in your cabby before buying this card.

Wrong buddy. No such issues with premium cards having custom coolers. Palit custom 580's and 570's were extremely hit afaik with no heating issues and were good overclockers too.

@ ashu

Go for the 3gb version if you are planning to game at ultra high resolution i.e equal or greater than 2560x1600 resolution.

Believe me, the extra 1.5gb vram will come in handy. Actually gtx 580 deserved more than 1.5gb vram as its gpu core is the fastest and was held back in rendering at high resolutions for insufficient frame buffer.

Perfect for a nvidia surround setup.

@Sam: I have read some thread, where specially 8800GT were having lots of heating issues.

Infact i myself used 3 different variants of Palit Card till date.

1. 9800GT which is almost 3 years, no problems till date

2. Myself using a Palit GTX 570, purchased recently, no issues with custom cooler.

3. Given a GTX 580 to my bro again from Palit, no issues till date.


I think only few of the initial models have issues not the whole GPU line up.

that was told for GTX460 also i think. & i can't quite remember who but 2-3 members had serious problem with Palit cards (sporting a custom cooler) which reviewers praised for their OC capabilities. so won't recommend a Palit card straightway. it is seriously advised to research. visit some more forum & check if anyone with a Plait card have any overheating problem.

looks like Palit fixed the problem or maybe fixed their cooler. the problem was with GTX460 AFAIK. Palit GTX260 was the best but GTX460 Platinum or something was plagued with overheating problem.

first of all thanx to all u guys here for ur valuable replies guys.. :) really appreciate it... :)

Yup, i agree that the gtx460 / 480 (watever it was) was a heating oven pad.. :p after that things hv changed, so After reading ur positive comments i think i will giv this 3GB gpu a shot and buy it.....

SInce it will NOT be an overkill so that satisfies all my anxiety..

and yes, after getting this card, i will SURELY upgrade my 22" LCD to sumthing like a 28-30" LCD... :D

thanx all, also checked the card's dimensions on newegg.com, its 10.5" in length so tat wud fit perfectly in my CM690 case alsong with my Tagan 1100W PSU..

Will buy this card either this saturday (2nd april) or on Monday (4th april) from Tirupati Enterprises... :)

Guys I have a ASUS GTX 580 directCU II. Though its a 3 slot cooler and occupies more space, it runs very cool and very very silent.

@ashu888ashu888: ASUS has fully re-designed the power circuitry of the card. Trust me Its VERY SILENT. Of course I cannot force you, the final decision is yours.
Even with crysis 2 at hardcore settings at 1080p the temps never crossed 71 degrees c. I feel ASUS is better in quality as compared to palit. Again the msi twin frozr II is very good.
Its for the you to decide now. I feel 3GB is not required for a card unless he is very much interested in multi monitor setup.

Just a suggestion- Before buying please consider the warranty and support and all. Being in India, I donno how is palit's rma support here. but asus is handled by rashi with whom I hav very good experience.
