GTX 580 benchmark with i7-975 1080p, 1440p, Ultrawide, 4K benchmarks at Ultra Quality
It is worth noting that the GTX 580 is a very power hungry card and requires a decent power supply unit. With current 1536 MB RAM, the GTX 580 can have serious memory-related bottlenecks in more modern games. It is important to know that GTX 580 's max load temperature is very high and might require custom cooling solutions. This combination between GTX 580 and Intel Core i7-975 @ 3.33GHz has less than 15% bottleneck in many games and can cause minor FPS loss.
The release year of the graphics card. The newer the better technology and performance optimization and

The GTX 590 might be the extreme flagship of the latest Fermi 2.0 set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most high-end PC gamers. On the other hand, the GTX 580 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 499. NVIDIA ’s xx80 cards have always been defined by high-end prices with performance that knocks on the door of extreme graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Fermi 2.0 graphics card inside the GTX 580, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend.
Spec for spec, this GTX 580 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the GTX 480, by boasting 48.6 % more fps. Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The GTX 580 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the GTX 480 and it really justifies an upgrade.
For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Valorant at 64 fps to 64 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 64 fps.
The GTX 580 sits between the HD 7950 and the GTX 660 Ti, falling slower than HD 7950 by 1.4% and faster than GTX 660 Ti by 0.7%. It has an average relative performance against every graphics card here. Its results are actually indistinguishable from those of the HD 7950. In addition, the GTX 580 was also faster than the GTX 480 by a good margin. Compared to its higher sibling, the GTX 580 was much slower than the GTX 590 by more than 20%.
The GTX 580 sits between the GTX 680 and the GTX 670, falling slower than GTX 680 by 5.7% and faster than GTX 670 by 0%. It has an average relative performance against every graphics card here.

Today NVIDIA releases their new GeForce GTX 580 which is based on their Fermi architecture. The card is 20% faster than the GTX 480, yet requires less power. NVIDIA has also optimized fan noise making this the quietest highest-end card on the market today.
When the GeForce GTX 580 arrived, it extended NVIDIA's lead in the single-GPU graphics card market. Although the green team's own GTX 480 previously held the title of fastest single-GPU, its reign ...
GTX 580 is the first member of the GeForce 500 series, giving it the distinction of setting precedent for the rest of the family that NVIDIA claims will soon follow.
Picking up immediately from where we left off yesterday with our review of NVIDIA’s new GeForce GTX 580, we have a second GTX 580 in house courtesy of Asus, who sent over their ENGTX580.
Nvidia's inaugural DirectX 11 card, the GeForce GTX 480, was a little broken, so Nvidia has been beavering away for most of this year trying to fix it. In terms of performance, though, the GTX 480 ...
Nvidia's new top-tier video card, the GeForce GTX 580, is the first to take full advantage of the Fermi architecture's capabilities—and it was well worth waiting for.
The extra SM (and PolyMorph engine) works in concert with higher clocks to give the GeForce GTX 580 a fairly commanding win over the 480 with tessellation set to Extreme in this test.
What to Consider Before Buying a Graphics Card
If you have been planning to upgrade your system by purchasing a new graphics card. Then there are some important factors to consider.
Resolution VS Quality: Impact on Game Performance
What affects game performance? Clarity or Details?
Ultra VS High Quality Settings in PC Games
Every player has a different notion about the ideal setting for PC games. But in most cases, opting for a High quality graphics configuration is the way to go.
What are CPU or GPU Bottlenecks?
Are you getting sudden frame drops? you might have a bottleneck.
What is the acceptable FPS speed for me?
For some games, you can still enjoy great garphics at lower frame rates.
