So trying to learn, is my memory limit 1.5 gb ram or 3gb ram?
Best
a gtx 580 with 3g is always 3gb; only the dual-gpu 590 sold as "3gb" is in fact 2*1.5gb...

A 580 is just a single processor. It uses the whole 3GB. It is only the 590 which is effectively 2 x 580s which split the memory.

Just ran the standard benchmark scene and got 21.09Ms/Sec. Pretty good I think.

2 x 560gtx + 1 x 460gtx
Just the 2 560s scored about 16Ms/sec

steveps3, the standard bench is set to direct light iirc, you have to change to pathtracing to get real results.
Cheers, mib.

Surely the "standard" should be as it comes out of the box. When I change to pathtracing I get about 4.5Ms/sec.

to be honest: this is a little slow for 3 4/560 cars
imo.
i'd say you should see something between 5.5 and 6ms/sec - depending on the clocks of your cards...

With all three cards I get 6.03Ms/Sec. The other score was with just the 2 560s running.
