NVIDIA Announces GTX 580

ppo: :jumpy:

Less than a week after the launch of the GTX 480, NVIDIA has announced that the next series of graphics cards based on the Fermi architecture is already in the works - the 500 Series. The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 will be the first to launch and will feature 580 CUDA cores to go along with its “580” moniker and have a whopping 2560MB of 384-bit GDDR5 memory. The rest of the specifications are unknown at this time, but NVIDIA is promising the fastest single-GPU card on the market.

“Although we’re very proud of the GTX 480,” NVIDIA President and CEO Jen-Hsun Huang said, “the 400 series is merely a tease for what Fermi can really accomplish. When we release the 500 series later this year, I think everyone will be pleasantly surprised.”

After the rather lukewarm reception of the GTX 480, this is certainly welcome news to fans of NVIDIA. Even more welcoming is that the GTX 580 is expected to launch before the end of the year. In fact, Huang said that he’s hopeful it’ll be on the market by this summer. But what about a price? A separate NVIDIA source who will remain anonymous for obvious reasons let us in on a little secret - the GTX 580 will launch with the GTX 480’s current price. The best part of that tidbit may be the obvious implication - a price drop on the 400 series! So if you’re in the market for a new video card, it may be wise to wait until the summer…if you can hold off that long.

This may be in direct competition with the 6 series

Nvidia made a fail card and a fail grill. Maybe they are reinventing (Read: Relabelling) and make a better one. Their new motto would be like “If he fail to thrill, we win to grill!!” or something like that.

GTX280 → GTX285
me thinks, GTX480 → GTX580

And it means “You guys go ahead with ATI cards and come back when we release GTX5xx to check if it can only make eggs or can it make grill chicken”.

And given the way that nVidia renames failed GPUs and releases after better fab process, I think GTX580 will be GTX480 on a smaller die made on better fabrication (28nm maybe??), thereby getting the same GPU to work at lower temperatures and lower wattage. Problem solved!

But the thing they are not considering is what AMD is holding on to. Given that they have a solid architecture, all they need to do is inject tessalation optimization and a bit more adrenalin and once again they will have a winner!

Yup got caught off guard already earlier today by some other tech sites not falling for this one yet.

Lets hope its true tho then we should see HD6xxx and GTX5xx release close to each other

It is an April Fool guys, the text is in blue below the article. nicely done though

Ofcorz its a prank. Nvidia is a SLOWPOKE at improvement. Remember the launch of 8600GT after 7xxx series took so damn long, then it failed and then 8800GT took another year.

PS: Had read the white text by muzu in 1st go. Nicely done

Can this be a hoax too?

next time put the emoticons before the white text
the unusual alignment of emoticons on the page kind of rings a bell
