Zotac GTX 580 Amp! Edition Dawn of War II – Retribution Dawn of War II is a real time tactics/strategy title developed by Relic Games and Published by THQ. It utilises the Essence engine 2.0 which was originally developed for their previous title, Company of Heroes. This version saw some serious tweaking and features impressive additions, allowing for more detailed models and textures, and more advanced lighting and shading effects, as well as including more complex “sync-kills” than those in Dawn of War also adding support for dual core CPUs. It features an in-game benchmark too, which makes things very easy for me. - Low: 1280 x 1024, AA off, physics off, All ‘High’ Settings - Medium:1280 x 1024, AA off, physics off, All ‘Ultra High’ Settings - High: 1280 x 1024, AA on, physics on, All ‘Ultra High’ Settings - Ultra: 1600 x 1200, AA on, physics on, All ‘Ultra High’ Settings Rundown, Power and Thermals Wattage Temperature - Idle: 42 - Load: 74 Idle temperature was 20 degrees C. Power draw is reasonably conservative for such a high end nVidia card, but its still higher than comparable AMD GPUs. Thermals are absolutely fine on this and it doesn’t get too loud even when at full load. It’s not great – as you’d expect from a really high end card – but it’s fine; though you still might like to add an aftermarket cooler to drop temperatures a bit more if you’re going for hardcore overclock. Speaking of which… Overclocking Utilising nVidia’s Ntune to tweak core and memory frequencies, I was able to take the Zotac GTX 580 Amp from 810/2050 to a quite impressive 910/2200. This is almost a 10% overclock across the board, which isn’t bad considering the AMP is already pre-overclocked. It did clock higher but began to show artifacts with just a few more MHZ and crashed beyond that. With a voltage tweak it might go further, but that’s beyond the talents of this humble reviewer. Results Rundown As expected the GTX 580 Amp really pushed ahead of most of the competitor cards we put it up against in testing. It struggled a little in Furmark it seemed, with surprisingly the GTX 570 beating it. However that’s why we always repeat benchmarks several times to assure any anomalies are worked out; but when they arn’t we have the other benchmarks to fall back on. It also looks like Dawn of War II retribution isn’t even a remote test of a card like this when the usual percentage swing per benchmark shows that regardless of settings this card can handle it easily. Cost This card can run you quite a bit, between £370 and £400 depending where you shop. This is certainly up at the top end of GPU purchases, even if there are ones that are another £100 or so more. Is it worth it? That’s what the conclusion is for.

Zotac GTX 580 AMP! Edition Dawn of War II - Retribution Tá Dawn an Dara Cogadh am tactics / teideal straitéis fíor forbartha ag Cluichí Relic agus Foilsithe ag THQ. Úsáideann sé an 2.0 inneall bunúsach a Rinneadh forbairt ar dtús le haghaidh a n teideal roimhe sin, Cuideachta de Heroes. An leagan a chonaic roinnt tweaking tromchúiseach agus gnéithe breisithe go hiontach, a thugann deis do níos mó samhlacha agus uigeachtaí mionsonraithe, agus níos mó dul chun cinn éifeachtaí soilsiú agus scáthú, chomh maith le lena n-áirítear níos casta "sync-mharú" ná iad siúd i Dawn Cogaidh freisin ag cur tacaíocht do chroí dé CPUs. Gnéithe sé tagarmharc i-cluiche ró-, a dhéanann rudaí an-éasca dom. - Teocht is Ísle: 1280 x 1024, AA amach, fisic amach, All 'Ard' Socruithe - Meánach: 1280 x 1024, AA amach, fisic amach, All 'Ultra Ard' Socruithe - Teocht is Airde: 1280 x 1024, AA ar, fisic ar, All 'Ard-Ultra-' Socruithe - Ultra: 1600 x 1200, AA ar, fisic ar, All 'Ard-Ultra-' Socruithe Rundown, Cumhacht agus thermals Wattage - Díomhaoin: 165 - Luchtaigh: 328 Teocht - Díomhaoin: 42 - Luchtaigh: 74 Ba é teocht díomhaoin 20 céim C. Cumhacht a tharraingt go réasúnta coimeádach le haghaidh den sórt sin cárta deireadh ard nVidia, ach níos airde fós ná mar atá inchomparáide AMD GPUs. Thermals Tá fíor fíneáil ar an agus ní dhéanann sé a fháil ró-ard fiú nuair ag ualach iomlán. Níl sé go hiontach - mar gur mhaith leat bheith ag súil ó cárta deireadh ard i ndáiríre - ach tá sé fíneáil; cé go d'fhéadfadh tú mhaith fós a chur ar with iarmhargadh le teochtaí titim le beagán níos mó má tá tú ag dul le haghaidh hardcore overclock. Ag labhairt di ar a ... Overclocking Úsáid a bhaint as Ntune nVidia chun tweak croí agus na minicíochtaí chuimhne, bhí mé in ann a chur ar an GTX Zotac 580 AMP ó 810/2050 go dtí go leor mórthaibhseach 910/2200. Tá sé seo beagnach% 10 overclock ar fud an bord, nach bhfuil droch-smaoineamh ar an ACC go bhfuil cheana féin réamh-overclocked. Rinne sé clog níos airde ach thosaigh artifacts thaispeáint le ach cúpla níos mó MHz agus crashed ina dhiaidh sin. Le voltas tweak d'fhéadfadh sé dul a thuilleadh, ach sin níos faide ná na buanna seo athbhreithneoir humble. Torthaí rundown Mar súil bhrúigh an 580 GTX AMP i ndáiríre chun tosaigh ar an chuid is mó de na cártaí iomaitheora a chur againn sé suas i gcoinne i tástála. Struggled sé beagán i Furmark an chuma air, le haon ionadh an 570 GTX beating é. Mar sin féin tá sin an fáth againn arís i gcónaí tagarmharcanna arís agus arís eile a chinntiú go mbíonn aon aimhrialtacht a oibriú amach, ach nuair a arn't siad ní mór dúinn na tagarmharcanna eile le titim ar ais ar. Breathnaíonn sé chomh maith cosúil le Dawn of War retribution II nach bhfuil fiú tástáil iargúlta cárta mar seo nuair a bheidh an swing céatadán is gnách in aghaidh na seónna tagarmharcála gur féidir beag beann ar shuímh an cárta seo a láimhseáil go héasca. Costas Is féidir an cárta ritheann tú go leor le beagán, idir £ 370 agus £ 400 ag brath nuair a siopa leat. Tá sé seo cinnte ar bun ag an foirceann uachtair na gceannachán GPU, fiú má tá na cinn go bhfuil eile £ 100 nó mar sin níos mó. An bhfuil sé fiú é? Sin cad é an chonclúid ar.
