NV News GTX 580 Review

[owned666]

ive been looking at them all day (including the one that the OP), its a full gf100 with a lower transistor count, so that is telling me that its the same part just trimmed to remove the fixes that were supposed to be hurried from the bad TSMC 40nm have now been worked out. so NV was saying it was going to be somehting great and new but to me it looks like what the gf100 was originally specked to.

im not saying that its bad just i thought we would get more, the drop is power is really nice and the 10% clock look nice but the benches look like a little over what the 480 should be with the same clock.

lower transistor count ?

its 3B.

im not attacking u or anything im just a bit confused
and isnt the 580GTX just a fix
the 9800gtx is for the 8800gtx
as the 580GTX is to the 480GTX
they just fixed the heat issue and a small performance jump
they have been doing this since the 8800gtx
8800 GTX - 9800GTX cooler faster
GTX 280 - GTX 285 cooler faster
GTX 480 - GTX 580 cooler faster
