Nvidia confirms the GTX 580

[Dimitriman]

I have really didn't make my mind if GTX580 is a real or fake next generation yet. Let me look at more in dept reviews, and I'll tell you tomorrow, OK?

But I can tell you today, those "thing" that AMD has chosen to call "new generation" looks worst than the "old generation", for sure.

I dont know what to tell you man I really dont know what kind of info youve been reading on cayman but it sure seems different than mine.

From this preliminary review by tpu what I see is a card from nvidia that can finally trade blows with the 5970 at 50$ less albeit higher power draw still.
Even if Cayman is late I dont think the gtx580 will do too much damage (of course its still an awesome product) to AMD sales as they could simply lower the price on 5970 and that would hold its own vs the 580 till a late Cayman arrives.

Still from the way AMD has been executing I do not think it will be late.
kudos for nvidia for pulling this card out of the hat, if its widely available thats quite impressive and a massive step foward from last year.

I haven't said ANYTHING about cayman's performance, I say they better keep what they promise, and get it out in time.

Why are you putting words in my mouth? Please, just tell what you mean, and don't try to accuse me for something I've never said.

I think you should keep talking for yourself, i don't need a translate, or lawyer to talk for me. Please talk about your own ideas and meanings. Stop accusing me for thing I've never said.

I think you should read my post again as I did not talk about performance of Cayman at all neither did I put words into your mouth. I said I dont know what info you have on Cayman that makes you look so pessimistically at it (especially as amds next gen product) and was referring in terms of design not perf.
why are you taking things personal and accusing me of attacking you?
I think youre not quite trying to understand my point of view so dont worry ill refrain from responding to you in the future.

That's OK, keep it cool. Maybe we can't understand each other, for some reason. It seams to go both way. So lets cool off and enjoy others conversation, maybe we understand more

but you implied that if they dont get cayman out they are in big trouble ... so what its going to be now ???? big trouble or 5970 can still hold its own against the 580 ...

GTX 580 looks like a pretty nice card. A 20% increase in performance while lowering power consumption on the same process is a great accomplishment.

Here's to hoping AMD delivers on the 6970.

great accomplishement ????


LOLL .... its what these card were supose to be ... nothing else ... and that is great????
