Nvidia confirms the GTX 580

Even better than GTX 285! So lets name it... GTX 580!!!!!

I guess neliz @ b3d was right.. they're going to harp on it being quieter and cooler...

[Vardant]

they're going to harp on it being quieter and cooler...

And that is a bad thing because? Because it's NVIDIA?

Tuesday can't come soon enough.

No its a very welcome improvement but hopefully they have more to brag about than just that.

[cowie]

whats so funny about a cooler, faster and quieter 480?being the fastest single gpu chip is the goal lets see tuesday then when ever amd get thier hotter faster chip out(delayed i hear from fud)
prices look okish, if there to be believed.

looks like a 5870 and 5970 cooler so this thing is going to be relatively quiet

that's why I got an arctic cooler as soon as it came out, since 5970 is so quiet

nVidia has gotten so many beatings by
ATI fans because of the GTX480 was hot and noisy
when they do something about it suddenly means nothing.

if it turns out that AMD 6970 is a hot running card to, i look forward to see all the jokes about nuclear power and food-making potensial from those who went so much up in it with nVidia running hot.

Well, Im not an ATI fan, more biased towards nVIDIA actually. BUT if the cooler and quieter are ONLY derived from the new cooling solution, and the chip is essentially the same.. thats a big disappointement.. However, im expecting something quite diferent

The guy from Alien Babel Tech, has the card and is reviewing it. He gives some nice hints..

I would be more interested in food making potential , I'm not so big on potensial or potassium or whatever it is

Okay 10-4

Criticising a users typing as a form of "clever comment" is lower down the wit chain than sarcasm

amd fanboys make jokes about nvidia.
nvidia fanboys make news threads and call the police on amd..

[Pantsu]

It's nice that Nvidia has finally understood the importance of stock cooling. With a better cooler the chip will leak less power and we get less noise too. I hope Cayman will have good cooling too.

What did the police do?
when they called them,did they arrest AMD???

ye amd got arrested several times on accusations of unlawful optimizations of the af code and disruption of nvidia code of dominance.

Ye, and nVIDIA was arrested for doing Tesselation in software

Seriously, cant people cut the crap, and talk about what matters?

The aliens demo was impressive. Till now we have been fed tesselation basically as a new LOS technic. This demo shows its true potential as something more than just improving static eye candy, but using it to dinamically change models based on game actions.

It's not bad. Just amusing since a) Nvidia didn't really care much about these two when launching Fermi, and b) it seems like they are not [aiming to get] getting the performance crown this time no matter how big their chip is.

Um, dude, the very same thing is posted like 8 posts above yours on the same page.

If you pay attention to the graph, they are compeering the noise, not the performance. GTX285 was a pretty quiet card, and if GTX580 can beat it, then it's a good achievement for a card with this kind of performance and power usage.

So it's a really welcome move, and impressive achievement. Why would you or that neliz-guy have any objection that they use it as a point?

Because its a GTX580??? Maybe?
If thats all that a GTX580 is, it shouldnt name GTX485 or GTX490!
Dont get me wrong, I AM an nVIDIA fan, but I dont have my eyes shut...

"The water boils and it cools the fins." This guy has no idea what he talks about, a true marketing guru no doubt. I especially like the "a couple of years ago we had a part called the 285" well that was last year, he doesn't even know their own products.

But seems like a good cooler well just 2 more days.
