Nvidia Accidentally Confirms Plans to Release GeForce GTX 500.

Nvidia Corp. reportedly accidentally leaked its own plans to refresh its product lineup with GeForce GTX 580 graphics card. The new flagship product should start the refresh of the whole family that was confirmed by the company back in September at its GTC 2010 event.

The accidental confirmation came in the form of listing of the GeForce GTX 580 graphics board in the catalog of 3D Vision-compatible components. The leak was quickly removed, but screenshots of the page are available on various web-sites or forums (here, for example) at the moment.

Unfortunately, at the moment we know almost nothing about the GeForce GTX 580 graphics card. Semiaccurate web-site claims that the novelty is based on a new code-named GF110 graphics processing unit that has 512 stream processors along with other improvements. Given the fact that Nvidia already has experience with GF100 with 512 SPs and its costs, it is logical to expect Nvidia to maintain the number of stream processors and refine the design of the chip rather than to design a chip with higher amount of execution units.

Given the fact that Nvidia has already confirmed the refresh of the whole Fermi lineup in 2011, it is possible to expect chips with code-names like GF112, GF114, GF116 or something like this to transpire shortly.

Now that's a very convenient "accidental" leak, right around 6800 launch... :P

Doesnt make a difference as long as the product is more efficient than Fermi.

Hope they plan to release the HTPC cards with the GTX 580's
 
^^ It does make a difference. What if the new series is more than 6 months away from release and the 'accidental' leak is a in fact a deliberate misinformation to put people in a dilemma and discourage them from making a purchase right now? These kind of 'accidental' leaks are standard ploys used by both companies.

And that does work most of the time, dont you think so?

Not just that we can have better pricing and also a better competition & choose the one which wins.
 
what to do with these new cards ? gtx580,585 ...we need good games... where is crysis2 ?

NVIDIA's next enthusiast-grade graphics processor, the GeForce GTX 580, based on the new GF110 silicon, is poised for at least a paper-launch by end of November, or early December, 2010. Sources in the video card industry told DigiTimes that the GTX 580 is expected to be 20% faster than the existing GeForce GTX 480. The new GPU is built on the existing 40 nm process, NVIDIA's 28 nm GPUs based on the Kepler architecture are expected to take shape only towards the end of 2011. Later this week, AMD is launching the Radeon HD 6800 series performance graphics cards, and will market-launch its next high-end GPU, codenamed "Cayman" in November

Nvidia has confirmed two new graphic cards which will be released with in this year or later next year. The cards are named GTX 580 and GTX 475 ( Renamed to GTX 560).

there are no accidents this is just to make people believe that nvidia is also going 2 be ready with its new card hence it is just a tactic to make ppl believe that it has not lost to amd in gpu devlopment.i m sure this 500 gpu is not even ready now.therefore people who are gonna buy the 6850 will wait after this accidental news so nvidia will suceed in stopping customers from buying card but will make them wait for the card which is not gonna be available untill july 2011 ....good game nvidiAAA BUT PEOPLE ARE NOT FOOL :)
 
but where is GTX495.!!

Card generations are getteng shorter now a days...IMO nvidia should exploit GTX400 completely tehn go for 500, let ATI play its game
 
In November ?

Wow,a few days left.

Without proper pricing no card could get success doesn't matter how much horse power they got.....
