Rumor: NVIDIA GeForce GTX580 to launch in 4 weeks
The GTX580 builds on an optimized circuit called the GF110 (with the 480 being the GF100). NVIDIA has changed it’s target with the Fermi architecture from launch – it was first targetted toward servers and the like, but the bloat associated with the GPGPU parts on the GPU caused it to draw more power, which in turn creates more heat which in turn requires a faster spinning fan to keep quiet – it also takes up valuable space on the 40nm GPU that could be used to make the card faster in games.
MSI Claims ”World’s Fastest” Single-GPU Card
MSI is claiming the title of “world’s fastest” with the launch of its single-GPU graphics card, the N480GTX Lightning.
