Nvidia confirms the GTX 580

[Sn0wm@n]

now, before i give you my opinion i would like you to know that i've owned both nvidia and amd cards in the past ...

... But that has no bearing on my future plans for medicare whatsoever.

loll .... :d

... "peace"..?

I think u r in denial about a good many things. What does nVidia's 500 series bring to the table?

rebranding of course ...

Why do you over exaggerate/blow things waaaay out of proportion all the time, are you a drama major. Technology will continue to move forwards as it always has, the efforts involved in delivering the next jump in performance is irrelevant to the consumer that buys a product at a certain price point & level of performance which is usually done relative to the competition and what the market will bear. If products at the same price point are competitive with each other does it really matter how that performance is derived.




Do you think its ok that newer stepping cpu's of the same uarch last years with new clock speed bins and minor tweaks.

A majority of tech we see today is recycled over and over and tweaked and tweaked over a period of time. Is the current AMD uarch not simply scaled up and tweaked from what the 3870, are the current cards such a drastic departure from its ancestors.

so the nvidia 500 series is what exactly in comparing your comment and reality ....

amd's K8 arch was recycled for too long ... and newer speed bins are only ways to clear the warehouse .... it doesnt mean its good technologie practice ....
