That's pretty much as high as you can go.

Try it and find out.
Can't say for sure.

3x IR + 4x SSAA may be alittle too high for Nvidia GTX 580 , I'm not so sure
But i'm sure 4X IR + 8X SSAA is not possible

[NaturalViolence]

He's using MSAA. It should be able to handle 3x IR + 4xSSAA like a champ. It will probably struggle with 4x IR + 8xMSAA in some games. I would consider lowering that to either 4x IR + 4x MSAA or 3x IR + 8x MSAA.

@OP: You could overclock your CPU to 4.4GHz. So you're able to play the demanding games with LLE (SMG1+2) just fine. Just a little hint

Alright thanks for the tips but i've put all of them to the top and i still get around 100% speed on skyward sword.

Also i dont think i can overclock atm, my whole rig runs a little hot so i'm getting extra fans to ventilate the heat.

Also enable efb copies to ram and "enable cache".
Its needed for a lot of games to work properly.
I dont know about zelda but for some games you will need to ease up on AA even on 580
