Following up on previously leaked specifications, Chinese website eNet has filled in some missing information - notably TDP and TMU count. The TDP of GeForce GTX 580 is at 244W, slightly lower than the GeForce GTX 480. The texture fillrate had been viewed by many as one of the bottlenecks for GF100, and eNet reports that GF110 effectively doubles the TMU count to 128 TMUs. Apart from this substantial improvement in TMU, the GF110 is a "full revision" and fixed version of GF100.

In addition to eNet's report, purported benchmarks for the GTX 580 has leaked on the Chinese enthusiast community.

Quote:


The benchmarks show an average improvement of ~17% for the GTX 580 over the GTX 480. The maximum increase is in 3D Mark Vantage - ~35%, while the minimum increase is in Resident Evil 5 ~5%. Against the Radeon HD 5870, the GTX 580 wins comfortably by an average of ~45%. The gaps are massive (~2x) in tessellation oriented benchmarks, building on GTX 480's strengths, while the DX10 benchmarks narrow the gap considerably. Unfortunately, according to these benchmarks, the GTX 580 will end up slower than AMD's previous-gen Radeon HD 5970, on average, let alone AMD's upcoming flagship - Antilles / Radeon HD 6990. GTX 580 against Cayman / Radeon HD 6950/70 is the real battle here. Naturally, we would advise you to take any such leaks with a grain of salt.

The GTX 580 is set to release in one week's time, on November 8th/9th (depending on where you live), but the jury is still out on the extent of availability on release. While strong rumours suggest virtually no availability on launch, eNet insists that AIC partners will have GTX 580s on sale on November 9th. However, the quantity of cards for sale on November 9th is not mentioned.

I understand if this would not be considered news, please move to NVIDIA section instead of closing.

Since these are the first leaks, please take them with a grain of salt.

Make it $500 or less and we have a winner (this will push 480 prices down to 375 or so after rebates
)

WOW. Talk about the 40nm process maturing!!! This does look like a beast of a card. I think that once all the 69xx cards are out in the wild with this card then the benchmark battles will begin and everyone would be educated on the pros/cons of all the cards, not rumors or speculation. Just to be on the safe side I have a l lb bag of salt on my desk too.

Almost same gap as GTX470 to GTX480. Overclock the GTX480 and its even smaller then 17%. Now lets hope HD 6970 is good. This card would have been better called GTX490. Calling it GTX580 would only mean Nvidia is no were near ready for the next lineup.

Need more data. I'm curious what resolution was used for those comparisons. This will be a beastly card if all that information is accurate.

Doesnt a stock 5870 generally beat a stock gtx480 in 3dMark Vantage? Any of the other benchmarks look suspect (given what we know about 5870 vs gtx480)?

So, how does it fare againts the 5970?

128x770Mhz = WHOOPING 98.560 MTexels/sec. texture fillrate! Even with lower p. consumption!!! Looks too good to be true.

And why would we run it at 770MHz when we can OC it to run much faster...


I bet this will be easier to hit 1GHz on than the 480.

Well, we can't comment on that until the actual market prices of both are determined. But from a performance standpoint, you make a good point.

Yes we can. And there'll surely be overclocked versions which will certainly break 100GTexels/sec number. If i'm correct and if all these rumours are true then we'll see the first GPU to cross this line.

No way that is true. I'll bet anybody $20 that the texture fillrate isn't anywhere near 100 GTexels/s. Also highly unlikely that it has more than 64 TMUs. TMUs take up A LOT of die space. The performance graph is very believable though. It will be interesting to see how it compares to the 6970. It's probably going to be very close.

WTH is the Nov 8/9 release for real?

This card is ready then?

IMO if these benchmarks are real. Is not bad for imature drivers. This card will be beast in a few months. And if what we heard of the 6970 being = or a little faster than the GTX 480, then the 6970 does not look very impressive.

If this launches next week we may finally see Cayman benchmarks to bring down the hype just like what Nvidia did with the 6800 launch.

Either way I hope we get some epic price wars between the two, similar to the GTX460 vs 6800.

And read the 'via' article.

Hopefully this comes in at the current gtx 480 price insteaced of being slotted higher, bringing down 480 and 470 prices. If 480s drop to ~$300, I found a new card.
 
#25 ·
This is gonna be an awesome card! Personally though, I don't even give a crap. I will not be upgrading a single component in my pc for a few years or if it actually breaks down. I just do not want to spend any more money than I have already on this monster. This will be a great card though.

Notice how the HD5870's score is constant in all games?
Also I'll wait for some actual benchmarks with numbers in 'em.And I think that the GTX580 will be neck n neck with the HD6970.

AMD and Nvidia releasing new GPUs that are actually refreshs of the HD5xxx series and GTX4xx series?
I think they're spending some serious time on those new architectures of theirs which means that the HD7xxx series and GTX6xx series will be kick-ass cards.
