I never owned a 480gtx but reading tests the architecture changes in the 580 as well as the speed bump make it a fair bit faster. I only know ive not even botherd to OC mine (yet) and its that silent that i might not (but prob will) watercool it. If you use MSI afterburner to tweek the fan...
Well i left for a reason and as i got a randon OCUK email and noticed Gibbo was back i thought i pop in and see if things have changed. The site still looks..............minimilist and people are still arguing over cards in SLI. It will be interesting to see if the customer service is back to...

For a GPU then any GFX intensive game that has a built in benchmark. Make sure you the rest of your rig is stable though.
How many people inform their insurence company if they have a knock or if they modify their car. There are those who buy a new copy of Windows every time they change a Bios setting and those who rip the arse out of the "OEM/Buy a new Rig" system. Also those who just go for ***** pirate...
Pull your tongue out fella.
We are just promoting debate, i doubt if anybody is actually that bothered what we all think about Microsoft and it various policies.
Totally understand what your saying and it makes sense if you regularly upgrade, i personaly re-use my rigs as i do a total upgrade about every 18 months, my current rig will join the home network complete with licensed Vista64 OEM and i have a new legal copy for the new rig, but, if i wanted to...
