Yes the 580 is the fastest, unless you consider the gtx590 which is a dual GPU card, but at a bit lower speed than the 580. I think you said earlier that there wasn't much gained having more than two GPUs though, so a pair of the 580s would be the fastest. Of course a pair of 580s would use about 180W more than your pair of 460s as far as I can tell. -- Len Sorensen -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-amd64-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
