:shadedshu I'd say it would be highly unlikely that it was Nvidia's intention to 'fool' their customers. Whether the reason was due to yield on a new fabrication node or simply because AMD's card...

Interesting point raised there. It's true though, those CPUs still would be adequate for most games these days. We've seen so many poorly optimised console ports and the likes. I wouldn't blame the...

2560x1080 is 20% more pixels than 1920x1200 to render. 1440p is ~60% more pixels, so a single GTX 580 would probably grind to a halt if eye candy is turned up.
