NVIDIA GTX 580 Review @ OCC
This is the card we hoped the GTX 480 would have been when it was introduced. Through refinements to the Fermi architecture, NVIDIA has finally upped the ante in the video card wars. The architectural improvements come in the form of full speed FP-16 texture filtering and new tile formats for improved Z cull efficiency. The hardware was redesigned down to the transistor level for improved efficiency that allowed for increased clock speeds with lower power consumption. On top of that, the GTX 580 gets the full compliment of 512 CUDA cores (up from 480), an additional Streaming Multiprocessor and an extra Polymorph Engine.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580: A New Flagship Emerges
Even before NVIDIA's GF100 GPU-based GeForce GTX 480 officially arrived, a myriad of reports and rumors swirled claiming the cards would be hot, loud, and consume a lot of power. Of course, NVIDIA knew that well before the first card ever hit store shelves, so the company got to work on a revision of the GPU and card itself that would attempt to address these concerns.

Today the company has launched the GeForce GTX 580 and as its name suggests, it's a next-gen product, but the GF110 GPU powering the card is largely unchanged from the GF100 in terms of its features. However, refinements have been made to the design and manufacturing of the chip, along with its cooling solution and PCB. In short, the GeForce GTX 580 turns out to be the fastest, single-GPU on the market currently.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 SLI @ techPowerUp
NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 580 has claimed the single GPU performance throne today. We take two of these cards for a spin to see what performance users can expect from this $1000 GPU combination. The review will also give insight into potential performance numbers for 3D Vision Surround.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 1.5GB Review and SLI Testing - GF110 brings full Fermi
NVIDIA is back with another new GPU, the GF110 aka the GeForce GTX 580. NVIDIA released the GTX 460 to target the $200 price point and now they are back to elevate their high-end game yet again with the full 512 CUDA core option we were always promised. How much better is it than the GTX 480 and what about that oddly placed dual-GPU Radeon HD 5970?

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 1536 MB @ techPowerUp
Today NVIDIA releases their new GeForce GTX 580 which is based on their Fermi architecture. The card is 20% faster than the GTX 480, yet requires less power. NVIDIA has also optimized fan noise making this the quietest highest-end card on the market today.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 Performance Review @ Benchmark Reviews
]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.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 GF110 Fermi Video Card Review @ Legit Reviews
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 GF110 Fermi Video Card Review

This morning NVIDIA has introduced the GeForce GTX 580 video card after many weeks of rumors. It has only been seven months since NVIDIA released the GeForce GTX 480 video card, but that card is officially no longer the flagship GPU of the NVIDIA arsenal. Priced at $499, the GeForce GTX 580 comes at the same suggested retail price as the GeForce GTX 480 did, but the video card has higher clock speeds and all 512 CUDA cores enabled thanks to a new GPU die revision.

The thing is that the GeForce GTX 580 doesn't run at the same clock speed; the GTX 580 runs at higher clock speeds! The GeForce GTX 480 had a GPU clock of 700MHz, a Stream Processor clock of 1401MHz and the 1536MB frame buffer consisting of Samsung GDDR5 memory was clocked at 924MHz, for an effective data rate of 3696MHz. The GeForce GTX 580 has a GPU core clock speed of 772MHz, a Stream Processor clock of 1544MHz and the 1536MB GDDR5 memory is now running at 1002MHz, for an effective data rate of 4008MHz. Looking at the picture above you can see the GeForce GTX 480 sitting below the new GeForce GTX 580. Visually the two cards are very different looking and this is thanks to the improvements on the GF110 Fermi core. The GeForce GTX 580 runs cooler and uses less power despite the fact that it runs at a core clock speed that is 10.3% faster than the GTX 480...[/quote6

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 Review @ Neoseeker
NVIDIA is looking to steal some of the high-end graphics card market spotlight with the launch of the GeForce GTX 580, its fastest single-GPU solution yet. It's said to realize the full potential of NVIDIA's Fermi GPU, with better optimized noise levels and power consumption to boot. We were lucky enough to put this new card through its paces to see just how fast is fast enough this round!

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 Review @ Hardware Canucks
Hardware Canucks is pleased to present our review of the new NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580.

Rumors aplenty have been swirling about AMD's new HD 5900 series but NVIDIA hasn't been sitting on their laurels either. In order to preempt the release of AMD's upcoming flagship products, a new GeForce branded card is being introduced today. Dubbed the GTX 580, it uses a newly tweaked GF110 core along with higher clock speeds than the GTX 480 and the result is a class-leading card that dominates the single GPU landscape.

GeForce GTX 580 (and SLI) review
Today NVIDIA launches the GeForce GTX 580, Guru3D.com has two articles prepared for you: GeForce GTX 580 review

We review the GeForce GTX 580, which should be a good chunk faster than a GTX 480. The end result is the product you've all been hearing about for weeks now, the GeForce GTX 580. A product that is more silent then the GTX 280/285/480 you guys are so familiar with, a product that keeps temperatures under control slightly better and noise levels that overall are really silent. All that still based on the 40nm fabrication node, while offering over 20% more performance compared to the reference GeForce GTX 480.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580: Back in the Game @ InsideHW
It's pretty evident that the strongest GeForce up to now, GTX480, isn't too successful of a product. Yes, NVIDIA made the fastest single-GPU product, but the price of that feat was considerable. Firstly, the card was utterly late, since expectations had grown considerably in the six months that preceded what would be the final release of Fermi. Performance demonstrated by GTX480 was excellent, although somewhat lower than expected, since all the hype around the card caused everyone to expect a perfect card. Since the American company was struggling with the 40 nm lithography at the time, the fact that they had designed the most complex graphics chip ever, with three billion transistors, was hardly a helpful one. Simply put, a few major problems surfaced. First of all, the low starting yield, i.e. a low percentage of fully functional chips per wafer automatically launched the price into the heavens. Consumption was another problem, surpassing even the limits imposed by NVIDIA. High consumption also means high levels of heat. NVIDIA did manage to conceal this fact considerably, though, by installing a referent cooler with such mass, number of heatpipes and fan size, that it would make even certain hair dryers shy away…
