None
Lacks DisplayPort Support
Palit GTX 460 Sonic Platinum 1GB GDDR5
No serious drawbacks discovered.
It only has a single GPU.
Still Uses A Lot Of Power
Doesn't Beat The 5970
Relatively Hot Running
Expensive. Won't fit in smaller cases. Requires two expansion slots
Hefty power supply. New features make it difficult to discern actual power usage or temperature characteristics in certain apps.
Blocks an adjacent PCI slot
Requires six- and eight-pin PCI Express power connectors
As well as a robust power supply
Very expensive premiumlevel product
Outperformed by CrossFire Radeon HD 6870's
Still not as power efficient as AMD's designs
Power draw limiter could complicate advanced overclocking
Still limited to two active display outputs per card
The appearance of GeForce GTX 580,not only push performance of NVIDIA GPU to a new stage,which is crowned to the single-core graphics card,but also remove the bad name of Fermi-based products with great heat and loud noise.GF110 can be considered as im...
After taking a hard look to see what NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 580 is made of, I can't help but think that this is what the GTX 480 should have been. From our launch article of that card, I'm sure it was made clear that it wasn't a product I was too thrill...
When we first saw the specs on the Fermi GPU we were very excited about its potential. However one delay after another combined with issues at TSMC and then rumors that the GTX480 would not have access to all of the CUDA Cores it was designed with bega...
Nvidia has improved a lot of things with this so-called new chip. The Geforce GTX 580 is the fastest single GPU card that we have tested so far. The cooler is improved compared to GTX 480; the card is definitely not as hot as before and you can see th...
Abstract: After being late with its DX11 lineup last year, NVIDIA finally managed to get their Fermi architecture in the form of GTX 480 out to the market in April of this year. By then, AMD has been out with their 5000 series for over 6 months and although...
Abstract: 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 ha...

Though it took the company a year longer than intended, nVidia has finally released a graphics card that can fully display the Fermi architecture's capabilities, and they're impressive. Whatever qualms we may have about its lack of DisplayPort or its ...

None,
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 quite arguably could be considered a GTX 485 or GTX 490 due to its similarities to the GTX 480. If you are familiar with the GTX 480 you will notice distinct differences, 512 cores as opposed to 480, without increasing power ...
Abstract: Nvidia's GeForce GTX 580 is what the original should have been: quieter, full-featured, faster and more efficient.AdvertisementWhen Nvidia launched the GTX 480 — code-named the GF100 — early this year, the new GPU proved to be something of a mixed bag. It...
NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 1536MB, as you may have expected, is both the absolute performance leader among single-GPU solutions, outperforming the predecessor by 15%-20%, and just the absolute leader, outperforming even the dual-GPU AMD Radeon HD 5970. No...
