Nvidia confirms the GTX 580

By the sound of it, Nvidia is out for blood this round. However, if AMD delivers on Antilles, AMD will be the clear victor and will own the performance crown this round. Nvidia will have to be content with 2nd place.

Here's to hoping for a vicious price war. I want some powerful GPU's on the cheap.

Yep, I think we will see a really aggressive fight from nVidia in this round. The resent price-drop to counter 68xx, and 580 to counter Cayman, is a great proof of an aggressive nVidia in this round.
I think we can expect several other GPUs, in all forms and shapes, right at the time when AMD tries to make a new move.

We have just seen the top of the ice-berg. The fight is just starting, and it will result in better and cheaper GPU, from both camps, in my opinion.
