Nvidia confirms the GTX 580

I'd pay to see that movie. I'm serious I would.

Oh, come on! That's not fair.

And hope it's a permanent one. That was just stupid and way below XS level

Anyway so from what I can pick up among all the noise, we can safely say:

1- We'll see a hard launch with limited quantities available until next year.
2- The card will be around 15% faster than 480 but run cooler and have a higher O/C headroom.
3- $599 price at launch.
4- Cooler mounting holes are the same.

Damn, her thighs look like drum sticks. lol



Damn, I'm hungry! sorry for OT

Any reason the GTX480 waterblocks won't fit these cards as far as anyone can tell?

Im looking for an excuse to buy one and I can get a 480 block cheap. I'm most defineately waiting to see how the 6970 pans out but I'm tempted to once again go Nvidia for a couple relavent reasons (namely noticeably better performance at my resolution and better performance in a few games I invest lots of time in ). Given the 480 seems to do a good 25-30% more than the 5870 at "1680x1050" plus it scales better with clocks / cooling, I'm hoping the 580 continues this trend. Sure some may say thats overkill but I personally enjoy 120fps gaming over 60 so to each their own.

Now as for a $600 price tag, unless Cayman is garbage I don't see this price holding up for long. I hope to see it replace the 480 in price which should be considered reasonable all things considered so far.

It's like Ford versus Chevy, they are never going to agree.

Or Intel vs AMD, or Windows vs Linux vs MacOS...

A few part numbers showing up on various sites...

EVGA 015-P3-1580-AR 772mhz core 1536mb
EVGA 015-P3-1582-AR 797mhz core 1536mb
PNY VCGGTX580XPB 1536mb
ASUS ENGTX580/2DI/1536MD5 1536mb 772mhz core, 4008mhz GDDR5

Pricing is showing at $550 but the site's been about $50 over on the past couple of launches, so I'm guessing $499 is the MSRP here.

From the PCB shots I saw earlier, you could mistake the cards for each other easily, it looks like a decent match. Of course it's probably best if you wait for reviews.

dont you wish they had standardized gpu mounting holes such as how you got standardized cpu mounting brackets for intel/amd?

Being able to re-use the full cover block would be nice, at least coming from GTX480.

Hehehe, not bad, so one of the leak that i've caught seems to be true then, and i extrapolated quite correctly, ending up with US$ 499-549 USA MSRP.

Now, let's see whether HD 6970 US$ 429-449 MSRP & HD 6950 US$ 349-369 MSRP leaks came true too.

non reference PCB ?

Good eye...

[spursindonesia]

3VGA is simply THE preferred AIB partner of nVidia (like 3VGA GTX 460 FTW cards sent directly from nVidia for spoiling Bart launch) right now, i think the PCB is reference design but specially marked for 3VGA as preferential treatment for them.

Wonder if we'll see anything out of PDX Lan 16.5... they said there's some under-NDA item being revealed there by nvidia at 7pm PST (30mins from now).

[xlimit]

I'm sure that the MSRP is USD499
In my country Inno3D already pre order for USD 550

There's a 10% off VGA promo at newegg, would be awesome if these hit in-stock before it expires on the 12th !

With GPU's you're cooling the ram, VRM's and core. With CPU's you just cool the core, so it's a lot easier for you to standardise. You imagine a cooler that would do the same for motherboards and you see the problem more clearly.

[Jowy Atreides]

Info is due soon.

Someone supposedly at PDXlan:

Nvidia is showing off an "unreleased product" as I type this @ pdx lan. One can assume that it's the 580, they've stated that it's 30% faster in Heaven in comparison to the 480 and also labelled as the worlds fastest DX11 GPU. ~~~
