Asus GTX580 Direct CU II Review – the ultimate 580?

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.

Yet again, the GTX580 Direct CU II leads the pack with a 6 fps lead over the GTX570 which is in second place. By comparison, the HD6970 generates 38 fps, 13fps less than this customised card from Asus.
