GTX 580 For Sale In USA

[AMD_PBz]

EVGA GIGABYTE MSI and PNY

Ranging from 559-589

NEW EGG

The price sucks the big one and if's just marginally better than a 5970 it may just get eaten up by the 69xx cards!

more cores but the price/ppd seems just too high!

 

[Bungral]

Yup price is a touch high... That said, over here i looks like it'll release for around the same price as the 5970.

 

[Heebs]

Wait till the 6970 releases, price will drop.

LOL

This will only be the case if the 6970 can get close/match/beat to the GTX580 performance wise and comes in at a lower price point

 

[Heebs]

LOL

I guess I should of said 6990?

Definitely not jumping on this 580 bandwagon until I see the AMD cards first.

Price will drop by $50 or so as per the norm after a month or so.

Newegg has it overpriced to account for their 10% coupon.

Mwave has it for 485.

 

[Rastalovich]

That seems about right.

I notice not the whole range are out as yet. There should be some oc models from a few manufacturers, anything up to 850mhz, which I'd expect to be initially well over $600. Using the same cooling methods iirc.

Tis a really nice gpu, but I'd still hold out for a while tbh. Some great things to come.

 

[Heebs]

Yeah the MSI and Asus variants should prove interesting.

 

[Blackwhite]

it is avilabe in ocuk too

 

[AMDFTW]

scan has quite a few at £410

 

[AMD_PBz]

According to HWC!

 

[AMDFTW]

eh shouldent 611 pointers give less PPD

 

[AMD_PBz]

and I quote "Many in the folding community have surmised that many of the new GPU3 work units seem to benefit cards with higher clock speeds rather than core amounts. We see this here with the 925 and 912 point WUs where the GTX 580 is able to maintain a sizable lead over the GTX 480 but when the cores start counting in the 611 pointers, the GF110 starts pulling ahead even more. At times, we saw a 45 second Time per Frame from the new card which is quite simply incredible.

As GPU3 projects start moving out of the testing phase, we expect to see an increase in the folding performance of the higher-end Fermi cards but for the time being it seems like many of the GPU3 WUs will run just as well on higher clocked GF104-based cards."

HWC Review

 

[alienware]

According to HWC!

Now I would like to see that pitted against a proper 480 not an Nvidia reject.

 

[Bungral]

Oooo HWC have their review up??

Quite like their reviews... Only about 3 sites I pay any attention too other than this one.

^ You wont ever see a "proper 480" see the light of day, that's what the 580 is.

Hardocp.com has theirs up, so does Tom's Hardware.
