Of course you would expect a single 580 to lose to SLI 470s or 480s. 512 CUDA cores vs 896 CUDA cores (470s) and 960 CUDA cores (480s).

Yeah decisions decisions... The 580 is appealing though but your are right about the 10-15 increase. Looking at the raw numbers though, a lot of power locked up as indicated by that Vantage non-Physx score. I bet newer drivers will yield better results.

When I got my GTX8800 back when they lasted over a year, befor they got dethrone, but in my view was still as fast as the new replacement. I'm glad I got two GTX460 1 gig EE models instead of the GTX485 at least they not hear monsters or noise makers....CHEERS
PS: Nvidia better start talking to game company's to make game for PC only instead of this poor ported console crap to run games on a $500 dollar card that cost more than a monitor and best Xbox360 offers...Don't need to be a brain to figure this one out....CHEERS
BTW: Where did tab for my top 10 post get to ???. Did I over look it !!.

Yeah decisions decisions... The 580 is appealing though but your are right about the 10-15 increase. Looking at the raw numbers though, a lot of power locked up as indicated by that Vantage non-Physx score. I bet newer drivers will yield better results.

Read the GTX 580 and GTX 580 SLI reviews on guru3d.com. I can safely say that the GTX 580 is outperformed by not only the GTX 480 SLI, but also the GTX 470 SLI [img]http://forums.nvidia.com/public/style_emoticons/default/shock.gif[/img]
Also,max 10 to 15 fps difference between GTX 480 SLI and GTX 580 SLI, that too when both setups give more than 90-110 fps [img]http://forums.nvidia.com/public/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif[/img] .
So, yes, I'm gonna skip this generation and wait for the GTX 680 before even thinking of upgrading !
Buying the 2nd GTX 480 certainly paid of for me [img]http://forums.nvidia.com/public/style_emoticons/default/laugh.gif[/img]

Yeah decisions decisions... The 580 is appealing though but your are right about the 10-15 increase. Looking at the raw numbers though, a lot of power locked up as indicated by that Vantage non-Physx score. I bet newer drivers will yield better results.

Of course you would expect a single 580 to lose to SLI 470s or 480s. 512 CUDA cores vs 896 CUDA cores (470s) and 960 CUDA cores (480s).

Of course its expected.
Nice to have the reviewer at guru3d.com confirm it

When I got my GTX8800 back when they lasted over a year, befor they got dethrone, but in my view was still as fast as the new replacement. I'm glad I got two GTX460 1 gig EE models instead of the GTX485 at least they not hear monsters or noise makers....CHEERS
PS: Nvidia better start talking to game company's to make game for PC only instead of this poor ported console crap to run games on a $500 dollar card that cost more than a monitor and best Xbox360 offers...Don't need to be a brain to figure this one out....CHEERS
BTW: Where did tab for my top 10 post get to ???. Did I over look it !!.
