ShaderToyMark is an OpenGL benchmark, developed with GeeXLab, and focused on pixel shaders only.
In the words of the author … Why ShaderToyMark? Simply because I recently played with the pixel shaders available with Shader Toy, a great WebGL tool for testing GLSL shaders. And I said to myself: that would be nice to see several of these shaders running at the same time in the same 3D window… ShaderToyMark was born.
The contributors of Shader Toy are all famous demomakers and their shaders are real gems. It’s just amazing to see what can clever people do with some sin/cos and other math tricks.
We are using the default settings for our testing today.
The MSI N580GTX Lightning scores 56 fps, leading the performance charts by a considerable margin.
I saw this at OCUK a while ago, over £400 for a video card. ouch.
Looks great, but I need a new job. my 460 will have to last a while longer
Their cards are great, they normally take a lot longer to get to retail, same with ASUS. its down to their engineering teams who make the mobos. always can do more than the main players we associate such as powercolor, evga etc.
Id rather have one of these than the hideous 590./ what a dogs dinner that card was.
I bet tho if MSI made a 590 they wuold get the power regulation wright.
Wicked card, love it
two of these in SLI for folding @ home = perfection.
WEll it certainly shows that Nvidia should have got MSI to built their GTX590 instead of skimping on the power delivery system.
Asus and MSI rock, I do think its best actually waiting for a few months for these guys to release the cards, rather than jump onboard earlier with a poorer version.
the power on these cards is so important. its becoming more noticeable now.
Can kitguru find out if they are making a GTX590 with enhanced power components? id love an 18 phase 590. ive held off buying one due to the recall and problems. Thank god I didnt have the money at the time or id be the not so proud owner of a turkey now.
Excellent, now you need to review their new one !
WOuldnt mind one of these myself, I can only dream !
