So I decided to get a Christmas present and buy a video card EVGA GeForce GTX 580, I hope that my country comes before christmas
Privateer Now, I asked if you are switching to a PC, or is repairing your laptop.

Greetings

Gracias por sus saludos tonschk, tambien le envio saludos y que pase una Feliz Navidad...

Ati has always been my choice to install video card in my computer, but my ASUS EAH5870 apparently came with a manufacturing defect.

I also put on the market that Asus version 2 (V2), the one I have was the first version and I see with concern that Asus soon brought to market the ASUS EAH5870 V2, the first versions will come with some type of defect and they chose to change either version 2 ????.
The ASUS EAH5870 EAH5870 ASUS V2 and, I think they have the same characteristics, so my suspicion that brought a defect.

Asus told me immediately, I must return the product for evaluation and then the change (if it is a manufacturing defect).
As it always involves a timeout and I live in Venezuela, I have to wait much longer, opt for a different brand, seeing the great features of your new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 (Fermi), I wanted to test how it goes with it.

If Asus sent me the replacement of the EAH5870, I sell at an attractive price!!

Privateer Excuse me if I take your thread to discuss this matter...

I hope you understand my limited English...

Default Videio Cards

I have been using NVidia cards for a long time but thinking of switching to ATI. Here is a list of my last 5 Video Cards in order.
  1. NVidia G-Force 7600 GS 512 - replaced, gave to to a friend
  2. NVidia G-Force 7800 GTX 512 - Buned up, replaced
  3. NVidia G-Force 7800 GTX 1.5 - Fan stopped, replaced, GF installed new aftermarket fan in and is currently using it.
  4. NVidia G-Force 9800 GTX X2 2.0 - burned up - replaced
  5. NVidia G-Force 465 GTX 1.5 - currently in use but running very hot
I didn't even overclock any of the GPU's and NVidia just seem to burn up rather fast. I don't feel I can trust NVidia QC anymore. Time to switch to new Mfg like ATI.

Any Recommendations?

Regards TheBeast.

It happens the same, but with ATI video cards.
I had installed an ATI Radeon HD 2900XT, death, failure of memory modules of the video card ...
Earlier this year, buy the Asus EAH5870, death, coincidentally the same mistake that the ATI HD 2900XT, memory modules.

Today I see that with NVidia GTX 580, have managed to lower the temperature of your cards and power consumption compared with previous models, this is positive because we can see that the processor and memory, have a higher frequency than the GTX 480, we can also see that NVidia finally decided to use the cooling system such as those using the ATI card.
I have seen several review and speak highly of the G-Force GTX 580, in terms of temperatures, my EAH 5870 is also hot, full load temperature reaches 75 to 80 degrees Celsius, we will be clear today These video card manufacturers speculating in both processor frequency and the memory modules.

It is obvious, wait the answer from ATI, in the first quarter of 2011, which with its new line 6000, and a processor, manufacturing smaller 32 nanometers, that means less power consumption and therefore less temperature.

I do not want to wait until next year and apart from the disappointment I've had with ATI, I now venture to NVidia, with a high cost of $ 530, I hope to work better ...

As a recommendation, it is difficult because you have to get lucky with the products they buy today. Many manufacturers trick consumers with ads and the end is we who lose, it's like my case, living in a country which limit us many things, it becomes harder to buy goods abroad and when damaged some of them is a real headache, make a refund to the manufacturer or RMA for the cost that this entails.

EAH5870 my return to the U.S., it costs me $ 60 and then to bring it back to my country, are another $ 60, must add another $ 60 you spend when they buy earlier this year, that totals $ 180 and if we add the cost of the video card, which was $ 300, giving a total of $ 480.
In a way it's worth spending $ 180, but if the manufacturer, in this case Asus, I recognize the damage produced and replaced by a new one, but if you do not replace it, I lose money shipping...

And your English is fine.

Also, I don't mind off topic stuff in this thread.
Sometimes off topic is useful for many reasons.

I'm glad you get your computer privateer.

I hope to soon see the results in the work you been done with the files. gr2 ...

I did my part and buy the video card, in the U.S.. I'm looking forward to my locker in Miami to then send it to my country.

I believe that before the new year have my computer working again.

Sorry for my insistence privateer, but that video card has a new computer?

Speaking of shaders , what would be good is an in game contrast adjustment . I would like to be able to adjust the contrast on the fly like the gamma .

He can run SH5 for Dev purposes but not a good card for SH5 game play.
