higher resolution for gtx580

xxdozer322 · Nov 10, 2012, 09:33 PM

alright so quick question, can my card do a 27in monitor with higher resolution? higher than 1080p is what Im tryin to ask. Also what do you guys think would be a better investment, a 27inch at 120hz or a 27 inch monitor with a higher res (over 1080)?

First off what games do you play?, some games will play at 1440+ and some won't.

If it was me I would go for 1440+ over 120hz

As posted above is the GTX 580 review go through and see if any of your games are in it and what FPS they get.

Also I would go through this review as it uses newer drivers and stuff, i know its for the 680, but the 580 is in all the same tests.

Newer drivers? That review is 8 months old.

That being said, the performance with the newer drivers is no better than it was 8 months ago for the 580. Most newer drivers are there for the 6xx series improvements.
