Nvidia confirms the GTX 580

[zerazax]

no fanboi wars here mate, I support nvidia's products as well, I have purchased from both companies, but a fact is a fact

Of course, when your side has a dual GPU card, it's easy to support dual GPU cards

[kuroikenshi]

I think we all well aware that the two main GPU companies have no problem manufacturing a PCB with two GPU's on it, whether or not the law's of econometrics and physics allow for that to happen on every generation is a different story.

the word "easy" actually does represent hundreds of man hours worth of R&D and economic analysis to determine how viable a dual GPU card is, sometimes it is possible, some other times it ain't.

Nvidia did not, AMD did, end of the story

well asus may come out with one gtx 595 chernobyl edition w/stalker 4

Lol fanboy wars... mine is better! no! mine is! no, mine is better!


In that TPU preview look like it is "contested"... ;P

Compare the review of the HD6870 with cat10.10 and then this review with cat 10.7(and also outdated nvidia drivers) and just the 580 with an unreleased driver.

Surprise yourself. Someone is doing tricks.

It looks exciting that these things might hit 1ghz on water.

The GTX 480 is the fastest GPU currently on the market and the GTX 580 is even faster," said Justin Walker, product manager for Nvidia's GeForce line, in an interview. Walker estimates that the GTX 580 offers a performance boost of 20 to 35 percent over the GTX 480.

Maybe a surprise yet in store with the bulk of reviews this coming morning?

We'll see it tomorrow.

I have a feeling that is going to be at least same or really close to 5970. Those Vantage score's are not only numbers.

Anyways.. why i am not so surprised of you bashing on Nvidia products? I know what you do, and what you don't do and what are your tendencies from another forums. So, let's keep it quiet until we see it officially.

Heh, if anything I think the scores on TechPowerUp are a tad *lower* than we'll see from most sites... just a hunch for some reason. These things look to be good OC'ers too. Look like pretty solid cards so far... much quieter.

I don't think it matters anyways. You would have to have big pockets or insane to not wait another 1.5 weeks for the price drops from competition or a better card....

Remember, it competition the consumer wins.

Eh, I'll be in for 1 if that 10% off newegg code is valid for the card (ok, I'm in for 1 anyway! who am I kidding?)... doubt it'll drop below $450 even once 6970 comes unless that card is an ungodly beast. Rather take the sure thing than hope for a little better price/performance in a few weeks as well as hoping it has good acoustics/thermals and drops at a lower price than the GTX 580.

EDIT to add: I look at it this way... 6970 faster than GTX 580 would mean it's going to be at least the same price of MSRP, if not maybe a tad cheaper to sweeten the deal... the GTX 580 appears to be a fairly attractive package overall to me. It may be faster, but I'm not willing to hope it's also cooler/quieter/$450/etc. off the bat if so (or vice versa). By current rumors they appear evenly-matched enough.

I will also add I am jealous of MLAA on the ATI side... I hope the GTX 580 series is given it at some point! It's a major selling point even in my eyes...

35% perf boost ???? nvidia are in dreamland right now ... 15% is what we expected and its what they gave us ... no magic driver will give an over the board performance boost like that on an arch that has been milked 1 year long ...

The NDA will be lifted later today, 14:00 PM .

If Cayman is +/- 5% of gtx580 speeds than both cards will INSTA drop to 350$ msrp.

Why would they? They both are/would be pole-position cards at that point anyway, what would be the need for such a massive price cut?

youre clearly missing his post duly quoted.
if cayman and 580 are equal there will be price war.. i hope.
thats my point.
