ASUS’s MATRIX GTX 580 turns up with a cool and geeky gadget: the GPU load visual indicator:

The MATRIX logo is a multicolored LED-based indicator and the color of the indicator changes with the current GPU load. The idea is really cool. In theory, there are five different colors:

I said in theory because in practice, I never saw the idle GPU load color. On my testbed here is the GPU load indicator at idle:

Maybe the ROG MATRIX GTX 580 is so powerful, making the idle color useless? 😀

Under FurMark, no prob, the red limit is reached in no time:

And to close the photo gallery, a little comparison between the ROG MATRIX and a well known card, the GeForce GTX 480 (here an EVGA model).

    the difference between the reference GTX580 and the MATRIX is like the difference between mercedes E220 and E-Brabus .
