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
A few weeks ago, if someone would have mentioned NVIDIA possibly releasing a bona fide flagship GPU before the end of 2010 many would have pointed, laughed and gone about their business. To say the release of the GTX 580 prior to AMD’s own high end ref...
Abstract: Fourteen months ago we got the first look at NVIDIA's latest architectural marvel codenamed "GF 100" at their GPU Technology Conference (GTC) held in sunny San Jose. What we obtained was a view of the next top-of-the-line graphics core from NVIDIA tha...
Abstract: With so many GPUs available these days, it can be hard to know what's what. This week we're explaining what to look for in a graphics card and assessing five of the best models on the market.It's amazing how quickly the entire graphics card industry ca...
The GTX 580 is very much a GTX 480 on steroids and while that doesn't make it a bad card, it's frustrating that NVIDIA chose to bring in a new series number for it when it probably wasn't really deserved. Apart from the performance boost the GTX 580...
Nvidia's GeForce GTX 580 takes the "World's Fastest" crown, sliding ahead of tough competition and -- perhaps more importantly -- revamping their Fermi GPU architecture...
Abstract: It hasn't been a long time that Unigine Corporation released a new version of their Heaven benchmark. One day after that, they showed a new benchmark: Unigine Valley 1.0. The developer team behind which has its roots in Siberia, found inspiration in their...
