Leaked: Nvidia GeForce GTX 580 specs and images

This isn't really the 5xx series its just an update to the 480. They are naming it the 580 to market it against AMD's 6000 series.

think how much power it will have man ..

Yay more competition from Nvidia. With AMD releasing the 6900 series next month I was beginning to get worried for competition's sake. I think I will be getting a 6870 though myself.

So someone clarify for me. ATI has a die shrink with these next cards? Because if they don't I see a 4-6 month gap next year for nvidia>ati.

There's probably going to be a 1.7% increase in house fires after this release.

.
exactly.. anyway nvidia is ahead only in software department right now. physix ,cuda and not to forget most of the games are optimized for nvidia

This is just a GTX480 with everything turned on that was originally supposed to be there but it is probably going to be early 2011 before we see any of them and once again amd will still have a duel card out over nvidia and have the single card performance crown. I think just grab a 6870 and call it good till the 7000 series cards come out then upgrade.

I'm glade to hear that, it's really such a super GPU , and the good news is if the new Nvidia GeForce card come to the market Crysis 2 will come as will.

I'm still on the GTX 260 .

alright let the high end graphics card battle continue!!! go price drop on the last gen!!!

imagine the manufacturers who are gonna come up with dual 580s. now thats badass

It will be good to see how it will compete against 6970

Basically. From my understanding the 6970 is a single-gpu card. Finally, a good comarison of both monster single gpu cards, this should be good.

Yea. Southern Islands on 28nm supposedly in Q2 (unlikely) or Q3 (in keeping with ATI/AMD's usual series cadence) 2011. The timing seems heavily dependant upon yields and how successful Global Foundries 28nm process is since AMD is going to use GloFo as it's primary manufacturer with TSMC taking a smaller share. Nvidia on the other hand are arguably worse off since they are at present 100% committed to TSMC's 28nm process.
It will be interesting to see who gets their wafers out first...and who made the right decision -gate first (GloFo) or gate last (TSMC).

"will feature" "purported spec sheet" "should be announced" "we likely won't see it"

lol nvidia

Doesn't matter to me though. I'm not going to buy such monstrous cards anyway!!

Exactly my thought, this will be a new oven by Nvidia that suck the living daylight out of your electricity

but for the golf town people, a 20% power addition is a welcome one and price ain't an issue (I'm not one of those though sadly)

I game on my living room TV (50in plasma) and my comp screen is a 28in. Using a HD5850, i would welcome a more powerful card for the 300$ range.. With one computer part the price of the average console(Ps3,Xbox,Nintendo), I should be able to game smoothly on my or any big screen IMO. Just because some people are happy on a 19' doesn't mean the rest of us are.

I have to agree, China is a major source of leaks and counterfits.

I just bough an EVGA 470 and it cost enough. I'll have to wait for the prices to drop considerably before I think about getting one of these.

You may have to wait for a long long time :rolleyes:
