Nvidia confirms the GTX 580

[spursindonesia]

Heh, TDP of 244 W, GTX 480 had TDP of 225 W.

If it translates to similar power consumption, then GTX 580 will draw some 240 W at load, peak at about 270 W and max over 320 W.

IIRC, GTX 480 TDP is 250 w officially, though we know some leaked slide mentioned <299 w TDP which is closer to its actual worst case scenario power consumption.

Judging from the leaked cooler pic, the way it looks & designed, i think GTX 580 leaked TDP of 244 w seems more legit this time, atleast not overshoot as much as its previous brethren. But expecting a dual chip board out of it that was made officially by nVidia & complying with PCIE sig rule, that's rather too optimistic at the moment.
