6 – EVGA GTX 580 Classified Ultra: 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.
6.1 Resident Evil 5 (DirectX 10)
I used the benchmarking option (DX10 version) provided with Resident Evil 5 demo.

EVGA GTX 580 Classified Ultra review index
Uhmm my 2 GTX 580 (model 1580 reference design) have a higher ASIC quality: 80.5 and 76.5 !
And they overclock nicely at 910/2250 @ 1.138v 24/7
They are also stable at 920 but 910 seems better to me.
(EVGA of course)
