its all pretty confusing
I was reading today around 5-6 sites on three cards
GTX580
GTX570
and ATI 6970
Some sites gave 570 edge and some gave 6970 edge. Some sites even shown 580 consuming less power and lesser on heat than 6970.
Pretty confused, in end also end up thinking why to get a 580? if the 5970 is sort of cheaper and is still better card compared on many levels than a 580.
or even rather if I have 30K to spend (approx. cost for a 580) i feel i rather buy 2 cards 6870s. CF them. Better is i can stagger my purchase buy one today one may be after some time.
@unixguru... if you check around net from benchmarkreviews, legit-reviews, anandtech, tomshardware, hard ocp, etc etc some places show on 1980 res... GTX 580 to be consuming lesser power
