Test: KFA2 580GTX

Konklusion

Innovation/Teknologi - 4
GTX 580 chippen har ydelse nok, men GTX 680 er lige ankommet og udstyret med 4 GB ram ville MDT nok fungere perfekt. KFA2s Multi Display Technology fungerer godt og kræver ikke nogen længere uddannelse at installere. 

Bundle/Tilbehør - 5
Med kortet følger der alle de adaptorer, stik og ledninger, man kunne få brug for under installation. Jeg syntes, det er rigtig fedt, KFA2 har smidt det med og det belønnes med et 5-tal.

Design/Layout - 3
Køleren på kortet har ganske vist 3 kølere og en enorm heatsink, men kortet larmer stadig mere end et standard GTX 580 og det trækker ned. Dog ser kortet godt ud og jeg har ingen klager over kvalitet eller køleevne.

Software/BIOS - 3
Kortet benytter Nvidia's standard drivere, som fungerer ganske fortrinligt og modtager derfor 3 point.

Ydelse - 3
Med en ny serie AMD og Nvidia kort på gaden, er GTX 580 ikke toppen af poppen. Kortet leverer stadig rigtig god ydelse også i høje opløsninger, men 3 GB ram står højt på ønskelisten.

Pris - 4
Prisen på 4000 kr er ret pebret. Men KFA2 er de eneste, der sælger Nvidia kort med understøttelse af 4 skærme og det placerer dette kort i en ret unik kategori. Derfor har jeg valgt at give 4 Points.
  

UK summary

KFA 2 MDT GTX 580 is a special and interesting product that supports multiple displays - and this actually works. The technology is not completely ready yet and the list of games that supports this technology is short, but major games is on the list. The performance of the GTX-580 is fine and makes it possible to play modern DX 11 games, but when you hit ultra high resolution like 3x FULL HD, you need more memory. 
Another thing is the cooler. It looks really cool and I was excited with the triple fan, but actually it was more noisy than the stock cooler. Hopefully next generation of MDT will fix these problems.

Innovation/Technology - 4
The GTX-580 has plenty of power, but the GTX 680 has just arrived and with 4 GB memory. This is exactly what was needed on this card. KFA2's MDT works and it is easy to install.

Bundle/Accessories - 5
You get all the adaptors you need for this card, if you are going for more than one monitor. This is really good and I give it a score of 5.

Design/Layout - 3
The extra large cooler does have 3 fans and an enormous heatsink, which makes is larger than the original card, but it is actually worse than the stock cooler. There is no point in this, so we will give it af score of 3.

Software/BIOS - 3
The card is using the standard Nvidia driver, which works fine, but nothing special. Therefore a score of 3.

Performance - 3
We just got a new AMD & new Nvidia line on the street, so the GTX-580 is not the king anymore. The card is still a high end card with good performance, but it lacks memory in high resolutions, so we would have loved 3 GB of memory.

Price - 4
The price is 4000 DKK, which is high compared to the other new products on the market, but since this is the only card from Nvidia that supports 4 monitors, we have to place this type of card in a special category. I therefore give the card a score of 4.
