Yeah, AMD has started the fake-new-generation number-game in this round. nVidia is following the same path, and soon they will both run out of numbers, as I've said before.

This GTX580 is an improvement/evolution (specially on heat/power/noise) and it improves may big issues that 480 suffered, for sure, but it doesn't deserve a first-digit as new generation. The performance-gain is not what we expect from a new generation.
