From what I've found, it really depends on how much the application stresses the PPU side of rendering. If the physics scale to whatever amount of power is available, it will use the PPU to 100%.
590 showed up right before I headed out to campus. I was expecting the large box like what the SLI comes in, but with only one card. It's a different box and packaging. Worst of all, it didn't come with a free shirt and mouse pad :(.
Since the 550 and 590 both use the same driver, do I need to uninstall the current drivers before putting the 590 in?
Re: Building a computer? Need advice/suggestions? Come here!
No need to uninstall the driver, but I'd swap cards, boot, make sure everything is working, then shutdown, install 550 again.
FYI, you have 30 days to register your cards for lifetime warranty. So do it in that time frame (while using my referral code).

ZEPH WHERE ARE THE PICTURES!!

So I was actually getting low memory warnings editing 1080p Fraps video in Premiere from Battlefield 3... "ERROR: Fraps codec could not allocate enough memory", in addition to the standard Windows warnings.
Think I should upgrade to 16GB?
Re: Building a computer? Need advice/suggestions? Come here!
And you have 8GB? What is taking up so much memory?
Re: Building a computer? Need advice/suggestions? Come here!
I was watching resource monitor as I was editing, seemed like whenever I scrolled/tracked through the footage it just ate memory. Tracking back and forth would just cause the memory usage to keep climbing.

AMD:
1) Hype new processor.
2) Delay release.
3) Release product.
4) Benchmarks are underwhelming.
5) Goto 1.

Oh god AMD what are you doing these prices are way too high :ugh:
Re: Building a computer? Need advice/suggestions? Come here!
I wasn't surprised actually, for some reason I knew that the Bulldozer consumer chips were just going to suck hard. At the price point there is NO REASON not to go Intel and get better all-around performance.
