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
Abstract: When we review a new graphics card on Hardware.Info and list the benchmark results, the charts also include other cards from the current and previous generation to put things in perspective. We typically don't go back further in time to avoid clutter, b...
Good gaming performance, Cooler effective and quiet in 2D, DirectX 11 compatibility, 3D Vision and 3D Surround, Acceleraton of processing for CUDA compatible applications
Energy consumption: requires a big power supply, Costly
A well thought-out card bringing together gaming performance, lower noise levels and advanced functionality. Its only sin: truly excessive energy consumption....
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 GeForce GT...
There's been a lot to get through on the previous 19 pages: let me summarise it for you. NVIDIA's new GeForce GTX 580 graphics card comes to market as the best GPU that the company has ever produced. Better than incumbent GeForce GTX 480 by having a ...
nVidia was late to the DirectX 11 game, and the GTX 480 ultimately failed to make much of a splash. But an extra six months in the proverbial tool shed has resulted in quite a showpiece. The nVidia GeForce GTX 580 is everything the GTX 480 should've b...
As stated earlier in this article the purpose of these tests was to take a look at how one of the top GTX 580s will compare to the older 5970 dual GPU card and the latest 6870 Crossfire (Overclocked) system as all share a similar price point.If we are ...
Untouchable singleGPU performance, Cooler and less power hungry than GTX 480, Excellent Tessellation performance
Costly, DX10 performance could be better, No triple display support on 1 card
GTX 580 - Everything the Original GTX 480 Should Have BeenAs far as single GPU cards go, the GeForce GTX 580 is an absolute beast. The older GeForce GTX 480 was already an extremely powerful single GPU card, but the fact that the GeForce GTX 580 is able t...
While the NVIDIA GF100 chipset already featured 16 Streaming Multiprocessors for a total of 512 CUDA cores, the GeForce GTX 480 shipped with one SM disabled. The decision to have only 15 SMs can be largely attributed to the massive heat output of the G...
