Treatment in progress...
whatever be it...sli/xfire has its own quirks..i'm better off without that...after spending such a lot....
tkin I said that games that are CPU intensive dont get great scaling.
Darksiders mostly runs on the CPU.hell, an i7 860 @stock + HD5770 maxes it out easily(minimum 50fps).It was not a crappy port.It just wasnt hardware intensive(the game design and art wasnt all that awesome looking).
play GPU heavy games.you will see awesome scaling in 99% of the titles.
i did say that CPU intensive and crappy ports will not get good scaling. GTAIV and EFLC are the best examples.
Look at borderlands,I get 45-70% scaling in it.Does it mean its crappy port?It is just very light on system hardware.
Then again, the 580 lightning is a great card.But please OC it to 950-1Ghz core and 4300Mhz memory.Otherwise there is no need for lightning.
EDIT:I played darksiders today (hadnt played on new PC yet albeit it had been installed) and got 90-95% scaling
GTX 500 doesnt have the scaling issues that plagued GTX 200.

The scaling issue got fixed in almost 3 months.tkin I said that games that are CPU intensive dont get great scaling.

I will oc it to 900/4200 for sure, one more reason to get it, just need to sort warranty and shipping out first.
Yes but GTX 500 itself does not have issues in scaling.

Ofcourse it doesn't, it a single gpu after all, no driver level need of frame splitting or afr.
I need to contact msi about the lightning, in the meantime i'll buy the rest of my rig.
no i meant GTX 500 SLI has no scaling issues unlike GTX200.
btw nvidia's SFR is dead.

I dunno but I always feel its a waste of money to buy a top of the line card with such premium price. My strategy is to always go for a reasonably priced upper midrange card and then SLI it 6 month later when the price comes down. Saves loads of money that way rather than having to spend a fortune behind a flagship model whose price/performance ratio whacked.
There are only a few games which doesn't provide good scaling. So I'm not too worried about that.
Anyway, so you're saying that the 580 is not available in Kolkata yet?

The zotac and palit and maybe msi reference yes, msi lightning maybe not, need to verify. Maybe I need to pre order it.
SLI is good, but the non reference 560(MSI) has heat issues with sli, if you want to go sli try to get a reference card like zotac.
you can contact Mr.Ganesh.He had emailed my for my enquiry at msi for the lightning
before i got the palits.
ganesh@msi.com is his email.

I'm becoming hyper, if this goes through this will be the highest config I have ever bought and consist of the fastest components in their respective categories, this is like a dream come true for me, so I am so tensed up right now.
