Nvidia confirms the GTX 580

[tifosi]

I agree with Diltech in basically this 5 series name is being forced by AMD hand. It would be harder to sell a 4 series when AMD has released released its 6 series parts.

If we look at the juniper to barts and gf100--> gf104 technology, their is probably more differences in the architecture of gf104 than barts shift.


If AMD didn't change their series to 6xxx, Nv probably wouldn't have gone with a gtx 5xx name change.

Man... i was occupied with work and i was worried sick about task i'm to perform... but then you come and... I want whatever you're on!

Nvidia screwed up badly... just because your competitor is better, doesn't mean you have an automatic right to deceive people left, right and center. Jensen is too egotistical, and some Nvidia fans, just wow!!!

AMD's 6 series cards which we see (Barts) they're supposed to be replacement for 5770 and lower cards... They're from a new generation. It's like moving from Nehalem to Sandy Bridge from Intel.
