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
NVIDIA continues to dominate in the world of the high-end GPU -the GTX 480 was never really challenged (thanks to the consistentlyhigher prices on the HD 5970) and the new GeForce GTX 580 just extendsthat lead in the single-GPU market to further bounds. ...

With that said, summarizing the GeForce GTX 580's performance is simple. To put it bluntly, the GeForce GTX 580 is without question the fastest, single-GPU on the planet at this point. If we disregard the odd, CPU-bound test, the GeForce GTX 580 is betwee...
Abstract: Now the company has. The GTX 580 boasts a full complement of 16 Streaming Multiprocessors (SMs), which means 512 CUDA cores, 16 polymorph engines, four raster units, 64 texture units, and 48 ROPs. (The GTX 480 had only 15 SMs, meaning it had less of e...
Back in March we were pretty brutal in our . Hugely expensive, hot, noisy and thirsty for power, it delivered just a ten per cent bump in performance over the HD 5870 1GB. While overclocked, custom-cooled versions and liberal Nvidia price cuts have sin...

NVIDIA's new GeForce GTX 580 feels to deliver what I would have expected from the original GTX 480. The card is blazing fast, especially in newer DX11 titles it often beats AMD's dual-GPU flagship Radeon HD 5970. This performance upgrade helps NVIDIA s...

The new single-GPU speed leader at the time of this review, the GTX 580 offers a noticeable, if not huge, performance increase over its GTX 480 predecessor. It also runs quiet. ...
Even though NVIDIA is only launching a single card today there's a lot to digest, so let's get to it.Since the GeForce GTX 580 arrived in our hands last week, we've been mulling over how to approach it. It boils down to two schools of thought: 1) Do we pr...
