They broke NDA on the 6800 launch and I get the vibe from other posters on different forums they are known for releasing reviews prior to NDA.

That was an accident and utter BS by those that called them out for it. Guru is a solid site, and Hilbert is not sketchy like that.
 
It is frekking epic nvidia card... its going toe to toe with the 5970 card (amds fastest singel card (that is a dual gpu on 1 card)).
 
Lonbjerg NOW that is a nice card (even if it is nvidia).
Id buy that for a dollar (or 400$).

Wow if the first 480s had been like this...😵'

This is a fixed 480... its almost at 5970 speeds at 1920x1200 res. (its slower higher res than that, but faster at lower res than 1920x1200). Some people are saying the 10.07 had crossfire issues, and the 5970 is useing those drivers, but meh.

Plus whats cool is how quiet it is! its less noisey than a 5870 is!

frekking badass card!



I didnt think the 580 was gonna be this fast... Im not sure the cayman will be faster anymore.

Try and ask Char-lie why his "sources" failed him so badly this time 😛
 
:thumbsup:

Great card. Wasn't expecting it to get so close to the 5970. Wow.

Well, I bet there were Nvidiots busting about AMD's power virus protection, and they feel pretty silly now, I bet. Someone dig them quotes out 😀
 
They need to update there drivers,

NVIDIA: 258.96
GTX 580: 262.99
ATI: Catalyst 10.7
HD 6800: Catalyst 10.10

lets wait for more reviews
 
I have a 295- would a single 580 be a worthwhile upgrade? I play at 2560x1440 and my 295 is lagging in some newer games.

Return of the king. Nvidia came back in style. What happen to your amd fan boy mouth.
 
As expected, the GTX 580 excels in DirectX 11 games that have heavier tessellation use.

Definitely great performance from the card, amazing that it can beat the dual-GPU 5970 in several benchmarks despite being a single GPU card.

After official reviews come out, I expect a flood of comments from certain people to be along the lines of "never expected a card this fast", "Nvidia has surprised us", etc.

It will only get harder for AMD from here on in, not easier. AMD caught a lucky break with Nvidia's Fermi issues, just like AMD caught a lucky break when Intel released the P4. We all know how strong Intel came back, and the same will happen here with Nvidia.

It's actually pretty fun to search through the post history of various Nvidia bashers and read the large number of comments like
"there won't be a fermi refresh on 40nm"
and "Nvidia has hit the power wall and can't bring out anything faster with Fermi without exceeding 300w"
and "there won't be any competition from Nvidia until 28nm"
 
Its definately gonna be fun to see how the cayman matches up to the 580.

Nvidia still have one issue though... 520mm^2 die size is still big.
(supposedly only 9mm^2 smaller than 480s that are 529mm^2)

If that has to go up against a 360mm^2 and they end up around same speed/price... nvidia is again gonna be makeing less money on cards sold, than amd does (because of smaller chip sizes).

I think the 580 beats the 6970... not 100% sure yet though.
I think the 6970 will make amd more money than the 580 will make nvidia.

So I dont think nvidia will be makeing huge profits... if they go into a pricewar with amd.

Funny and sadly, predictable. The worst part is that not all of these comments came from paid AMD PR people. Some of these comments came from regular people who actually believe what they posted.

The 580 is completely expected personally. It's not a surprise to me Nvidia now has a very strong and good card coming out.
 
I'm actually kinda surprised Nvidia hasn't brought out a 3+ monitor card. Seems a bit odd. Eyefinity is still in a league of its own imo.

Yes i remember alot of fan boys from the red team saying that nvidia 580 Coulnt out do a 5970. Here it is. Nvidia does it right. Fermi unleashed.

Nvidia has a superior 3D setup though with their cards, and their cards scale better in SLI. I could care less about Eyefinity or 3D personally, but whatever suits people's preferences.
