I'm just curious how much juice this thing is going to suck up..............

Who knows, I just might get trigger happy and buy a couple.

It's basically the 480 that's more optimized, it supposedly uses less power than the power the 480 or the same amount of power
 
Hmm I wonder what my 2 480's will sell for?

Looks like another refresh and rebrand, I hope it is not base on fermi but a whole new architecture. If so I then consider selling my two 5870's

Rebrand it isn't.  Refresh, depends on what you consider refresh.  Lower TDP and higher performance on a reworked Fermi.  Lessons learned from the sucesses and 'failures'.  Either way, if it meets or beats the competition's top end who cares?
 
I just hope it's a folding monster

Ill wait till like may to get a 500 series.I want to read all the posts complaining about heat and fan noise first.Especially since it looks like there using the same cooler.

Tempted to get a 580 just to fold on lol. Have to get with Crys1s_Gam3r to get the other cables to convert my extensions from 6 to 8 pin if I do that though.

Nice!  Retail price should be $550. Vanilla and the rest will follow. If EVGA includes the game with this card, I am game. now the question is  CAN U DIG IT?

fbmbirds

yea they gonna give cod black ops with the card

Are you being sarcastic?

I'll give ya $150 each shipped for you GTX 480's.

No way hoseey, im thinking my 480's will go for like 300-400$

MUhahahahahahahahaha... It is getting Closer!!!!

 

Bah! I've been bamboozled!          

Bah, Afterburner is no fun tonight.

Why couldnt they put 2g's of memory for us surround guys
or i would sell mine and pull the trigger and get these!!!

This thing looks like a beast! very nice performance increases.
 
" So we have 512 CUDA cores, 64 TMUs and 48 ROPs just like GF100 is capable of. Matched with the higher clock speeds, the GTX 580 has an improved pixel fill rate, texture fill rate and memory bandwidth. The texture fill rate is up from 42 billion/sec to 49.4 billion/sec while the pixel fill rate is up from 33.6 billion/sec to 37.06 billion/sec. The memory bandwidth has been increased from 177.4 GB/s to 192.4 GB/s. This brings up the GTX 580's performance by 15%-20% in games, according to NVIDIA, although a 3DMark Vantage run showed a 30% performance increase."
 
Insane performance, if this puppy really goes out on Nov 9th hats off to nvidia, what an astonishing come back from a 6 month delay, unfortunatly they had to sacrifice the time spand for the 400 series to do so. Judging from the backside of those pictures the GPU itself seems to be quite a massive one aswell. 
You lucky 2500 better be all over that F5 button like white on rice!

The fan seems to be bigger than what the 480/470/465 had and more similar to the one used on the 200 series cards, so in theory the fan noise should be lower.

The fan is the same size as the one on the GTX 480. The hole around the fan is bigger.

good spot, maybe the extra induction area could help with noise and flow

Seems I read somewhere that they were going to put 2GB of VRAM on the 580.  No?

2GB VRAM and 512bit interface, but apparently those were both bad assumptions.

IMHO... Really a bad move to not have 2g's... I will be keeping my 470's if this ends up being the case. Those of us running multiple monitors need more RAM... I was hoping to get two of these, but if they are 1.5g's.. I will wait...
