10 – ASUS ROG MATRIX GTX 580: Gaming Tests
Synthetic benchmark are cool (from a developer point of view) but many readers are not developers and then wish to see benchmarks based on real video games. I mainly used benchmarks included in game demos and then, dear readers, if you know other game demos that include a benchmark, just let me know.

I used the integrated GPU benchmark (64-bit) option provided with Crysis demo.
Settings: default resolution (1920×1080 fullscreen)

ASUS ROG MATRIX GTX 580 review index
ASUS ROG MATRIX GTX 580 gets the best performances in all tests!
A great GC for a great review, thanks JeGX!!!
Really Monster !!!
Pingback: FurMark at DreamHack 2011 | JeGX's HackLAB
how come yous did and go head to head with the msi 580 lighting ???
the difference between the reference GTX580 and the MATRIX is like the difference between mercedes E220 and E-Brabus .
Just posted my Furmark at 1047mhz = score 9279
Details for score ID = 218766
Do be a wimp and turn it up!
@Corwyn: yep nice score indeed. Is it a ROG Matrix? What is the GPU voltage?
Yes ROG GTX580 Matrix Platinum – The GPU voltage was 1.15
Core Clock 1047mhz
Core Voltage 1150mv
memory clock 4800mhz
(just joking about turning it up(was excited))
bonjour,
j’ai ma gtx580 matrix, elle chauffe avec fumark alors que elle tourne a 831, mem 2019, voltage 1150v
mais la temperature depasse toujours les 99 °
p-e que il n’y a pas assez de ventilation ?
pourriez vous m’aider.
