Nvidia confirms the GTX 580

[tajoh111]

how the hell will nvidia pull off 30% less power while adding more performance???


isnt there such things as physics limitation in this world of ours

By increasing shader performance in games and decreasing shader performance for cGPU, which requires a vast overhaul of everything.

If you look at fermi performance in cGPU applications, it actually shows why it consumes so much power.

It typically doubles and can occasionally triple the performance of a v8800(which is based on the 5870). Not only that, this card isn't even closed to being a full speced fermi and has much lower clocks.

Fermi as it is right now, is not a scalable GPU for the future(it is a scalable cGPU for the future though). Its probably why Intel gave up an larrabee. Its difficult and probably impossible to make a card that does both.

i did make my comment because tahoe seemed to be dreaming ...


how can nvidia reduce power by 33% while retaining the same performance ... on the same chip on a simple respin ...





LOL not the same thing .. cars vs gpu ...




but your right that it looks farfetched alot

Are u purposely trying to troll? I have been emphasizing they need a redesign, I said nothing of a respin doing all that. I said with the current architecture, they won't catch cayman for performance per watt, at best catch up to performance but with higher power consumption.
