    Default Dear Sam [3GB GTX 580]

    This was a quick screen shot I took a few nights ago after getting the card while screwing around on my 4 DK's. Their video
    settings are almost identical and they are a mix between high and medium settings with the main window at 4x Multisampling.




    While the CPU info is slightly irrelevant I didn't feel like loading up a team at the moment just to setup another screen shot.
    Prior to taking the shot I had rode around Stormwind numerous times making sure everything was nice and loaded up into the
    video memory. I would take a shot in a more intense scene but my characters have just been reactivated and they're all too
    low level to do anything exciting. As a reference, I just rolled 5 Mages and while questing with them out in the world the GPU
    doesn't break 35% load.

    I would say the card is unnecessary for 5 boxing and the 1.5GB model would do just fine but for $100 more I figured "WTF?"
    I also picked this card up in order to future proof for the day that I may just end up 10 boxing on a single machine with ease.

    EDIT:
    I finally setup a video settings macro that dynamically changes when I swap windows and it seems that questing in the low-
    level zones keeps me hanging around 1.3GB which is where I'd like to be giving me plenty of unused video memory to add
    in another five copies of WoW should I choose to in the future.
