Upgrade my GPU

[ivan chandra]

I'm still new in this, I want to ask you a little and hopefully you guys can help ...

now I'm interested in asus mars II and wanted to buy it but I already have a GTX 590 and did not want to sell it, can i use both in one system? if i can, what should I do so both can work maximum? can it cause bottleneck? is there another way to avoid the bottleneck?

specifications that I use now :

Maximum 4 extrem-Z
2600k (not OC)
Corsair H100
16 gig ram
corsair 1200w gold series
gtx 590
HAF X
2x asus ML248H monitor

or maybe I should just wait for next-gen GPU?

I use this system only for gaming and do not have experience in overclock the CPU or GPU.

thanks in advance

Why in heavens name you would want to use a gtx590 plus the mars ????

 

[ivan chandra]

I just wanted to know if I can combine both in one system, because in my country there are only 3 mars II and must be booked in advance by paying an advance, I should quickly give a decision before it is given to someone else I also plan to add a monitor, or better I should wait for a next-gen GPU? thanks for read my post

I don't think you can sli a 590 with a 580.

I would wait for the new gen anyway if i had a 590 allready.

a friend of mine told me that I could use one as PhysX, is that correct? I'm also thinking to wait for next gen because mars II here is very expensive, which makes me very interested is the design and capabilities mars II.

thanks for answering

@Delroy, what is Tom's TOS? Can you help me? I'm new here, thanks for answering

I believe Robjordy is correct, you will have issues trying to sli a dual 580 and 590, the least of which is that (if you can accomplish a sli), the 590 will be slowing down the Mars II. The 590 is running at 630 MHz in sli, the Mars II is running two 580s in sli at 782 MHz. If the cards can be sli'd you'd have a monster, but with few apps that cane even touch the hardware. I'd save the $$ & wait for the 600 series next year.

Change you're 590 with my 560 and use the 560 for physx, i think that would be really best !

unfortunately the distance between our countries are very far lol

 

[ivan chandra]

so there is no chance for using the GTX 590 as PhysX?

 

[GreenDutchAlien]

No worries ; i'll pay the shipment !!! :lol:

Serious ; you could use the 590 for physx but that would really be a sin ! Using such a powerfull card only for physx is like using a Ferrari only to go to the supermarket or something. It's just not done. ( altough you can do it )

I shall consider, take time and effort to get stuff like this in my country

 

[GreenDutchAlien]

Making me curious now ; what country is that ?

 

[Memnarchon]

The best combination you can do is take an another GTX590 and make use of Quad SLI, they will be faster than asus mars. But why on earth you want to do this? Its an overkill

 

[ivan chandra]

Making me curious now ; what country is that ?

I live in Indonesia, Jakarta (maybe you've heard bali)
here all the stuff that comes from your country to be very expensive, probably more expensive about 20% -40% of the price that I see on Newegg

I'm also thinking of SLI, with lower costs but can be more powerful, with 3 monitors still possible overkill? thanks for answering

 

[GreenDutchAlien]

As in the rest of the world, i'm from Holland and pay also a lot more than the USA prices
Bali is beautifull, my mother went there on vacation.
Like Memnarchon said ; why not get another 590 in stead of the mars, but also indeed ; WAY overkill !

I thought you are from USA, thank you already visited the island of Bali
maybe you have better luck than me about the price

 

[ivan chandra]

I will consider suggestions from you all, SLI sounds more reasonable and less expensive, let's hope the GTX 590 is still available here.

I was greatly helped by the answers from you all, thank you for your time and your answer, I really appreciate it, I'm sure the next time I could ask back to you through this forum, again I say thank you

The USA didn't want me, allready have some of my family in area 51 or something, i dunno.

Don't know btw about 3 monitors and 2 590's being overkill, can't say. Maybe someone else can.

actually I'm not too concerned about the bottleneck as long as I can get maximum results from the performance of the card, maybe later I can find a safe and easy way to overclock the CPU, thanks a lot for your time robjordy and next time if you visit Bali, maybe you could send me message so maybe we could meet, best regard

 

[GreenDutchAlien]

Don't think with that bloody eurocrisis i'll have money to visit Bali, but who knows.
