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 GeForce GTX 580 is a huge success for NVIDIA. We are greatly impressed with this new Fermi GF110 GPU. The fact that NVIDIA was able to provide 20-30% more performance, with slightly less power utilization, and a quiet running video card compared to...
The GTX 480 has held the title of the fastest single-GPU graphics card for the last eight months, and to date it has only been out performed by the dual-core AMD Radeon HD 5970. The time has come for the GTX 480 to step aside though, as the GTX 580 wa...
Nice, yeah I certainly like what NVIDIA has done with the GF110 GPU. No matter how you look at it, it is new silicon that runs much more efficiently and thanks to more shader processors, higher clocks, faster memory and tweaks and optimizations at transis...
Final Words & Conclusion Our previous multi-GPU articles already have learned that NVIDIA graphics adapters obviously scale extremely well. This article is not different, with the one exception that we have so much graphics horsepower under the hood ...
The Nvidia GeForce GTX 580 (GF110) is the Fermi that Nvidia should have launched 7 months ago. The launch of the GeForce GTX 480 showed that while there was great potential in the Fermi lineup, the GF100 was not fine tuned enough to perform the way mo...
Abstract: NVIDIA came up with a new generation enthusiast-grade graphics card out of freaking nowhere. The GeForce GTX 580 is touted by its makers to be the single most powerful GPU, and an efficient GPU compared to the previous generation (if efficiency doesn't...
It was certainly no secret that GeForce GTX 480 fell short of Nvidia’s aspirations. Nevertheless, the 480 still managed to outpace AMD’s Radeon HD 5870 (I’m not sure the Radeon HD 5970 was ever really in that board’s crosshair). Nvidia armed the GeForc...

On the whole, the GeForce GTX 580 delivers on much of what it promises. Power draw is reduced versus the GTX 480, at least at idle, and the card runs cooler while generating less noise than its predecessor. Performance is up substantially, between abou...
