Everyone who waited for
NVIDIA to launch their Fermi graphics architecture felt like they had
held back once it was finally released. The GF100 graphics
processor that was packaged into the GTX 480 used less than its full potential,
and it didn't create the wide performance margin everyone expected between
competitors. Seven months later, NVIDIA has returned with their updated Fermi
GF110 GPU, delivering all 512 CUDA cores in the GeForce GTX 580.
Featuring a tweaked graphics processor that runs much cooler and uses less
power than the GTX 480, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 is tested by Benchmark
Reviews against the Radeon 5970 and CrossFire 6870 video cards using the latest
DirectX-11 video games. @ Benchmark Reviews
