Wait, so the 480 GTX was underpowered at the last minute? That's not right.

Back to topic, i am intrigued about this but i wont get my hopes up just yet.

Too early to trust.

doesn't sapphire use the same cooling method in their vapor-x cards? the guys' talking about it as if they had the original idea or something.

580 has been making its way around the internet for a while now and yes it is the original form of the 480 and what it was meant to be.

So it's a GF100 chip with all 512sp's enabled?

It does have 512SP but from what I heard it is based on GF110 which is supposed have smaller die size and better performance per watt than GF100

I love this comment I found.

Soon, nVidia cards will require to be used on open space or in a very well ventilated room. I hear they will implement a diesel engine to power a fan to cool the card!



here's some leaked pics of that fan

More news! The GTX 580 is what the 480 should of been I guess?

Doesn't really look all that impressive, just makes me wonder why this "should" have been the 480? Makes me think they just released the 480 to make some big bucks, and hold back for awhile and release the real deal for even more cash -.-

Power consumption slightly down, performance up somewhat though still trailing the 5970.
If the leaked Cayman results are true though it'll really be in trouble. Smaller die, faster, and lower power consumption.
Nvidia really needs to get to 28nm, though TSMC isn't making that easy.

I'm a little disappointed that Cayman XT's TDP is 224W - mind you, Cypress XT with it's 188W TDP only uses about 120 on average. So we'll just see what testing shows.

I think I'll probably stick with my 5870 until 28nm cards come out. Here's hoping that the rumors of ATI using GlobalFoundries 28nm process are true.

Also, it would be interesting if Nvidia started using GlobalFoundries (I think Nvidia would benefit from it).... though that's unlikely.
