i didnt compare with that for a few reasons

1) its not the real competitor for the 580, the 69xx would be (yet we dont have those numbers so i wont complain)
2) some of those games are really heavy on tessellation so its looking like people are trying to make AMD look bad on purpose, which makes me question some of the settings or games chosen (im this hard on AMD when they do it too)
3) the values are really all over the place while the 480 to 580 comparison is within a VERY CLOSE margin of error, so i feel confident in my assumption that a 580 will be 20% faster than a 480 in almost every case. while vs AMD is a per game basis
