PC World‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 580 takes the “World’s Fastest” crown, sliding ahead of tough competition and -- perhaps more importantly -- revamping their Fermi GPU architecture.

Ultimately, the release of the GeForce GTX 580 is all good. NVIDIA has a better performing, quieter, and somewhat lower-power card at the top of their product stack, that's arriving at the same price point as the GeForce GTX 480. Over the last few days, the impending arrival of the GTX 580 also resulted in lower prices for the Radeon HD 5970--another good thing for consumers.

NVIDIA continues to dominate in the world of the high-end GPU - the GTX 480 was never really challenged (thanks to the consistently higher prices on the HD 5970) and the new GeForce GTX 580 just extends that lead in the single-GPU market to further bounds. NVIDIA is also hoping that the improved performance per watt and improved noise levels also mean that both consumers and media are less likely to harp on it for architectural deficiencies. The truth is that if you want the highest performing graphics card on the market for today and tomorrow's games, then the GeForce GTX 580 looks like your best choice.

The GTX 580 is not the true next-generation successor to the GTX 480; it’s the GTX 480 having gone back in the womb for 7 months of development. Much like AMD, NVIDIA faced a situation where they were going to do a new product without a die shrink, and had limited options as a result. NVIDIA chose wisely, and came back with a card that is both decently faster and a refined GTX 480 at the same time.

HEXUS‘s review Edit Like Unlike

GeForce GTX 580 is, on average, 15 per cent faster than GTX 480 across our eight games. Better still, it comes to retail with matching power-draw and a better cooler that is quantifiably quieter. Thunderously fast and relatively quiet for a truly high-end card, GeForce GTX 580 1,536MB is NVIDIA's solid attempt that's designed to go head-to-head with AMD's upcoming Radeon HD 6970 Cayman GPU. The battle line has been drawn by the green team.

As far as single GPU cards go, the GeForce GTX 580 is an absolute beast. The older GeForce GTX 480 was already an extremely powerful single GPU card, but the fact that the GeForce GTX 580 is able to perform substantially faster, up to 15% to 20% more depending on benchmark, is just staggering and underlies the sheer brute graphics crunching power of the GF110 chip in the GTX 580. At this moment, the GeForce GTX 580 looks like a respectable response in anticipation of the upcoming Radeon HD 6900 series, but how good is it really? Only time will tell.

The new GeForce GTX 580 is indeed the fastest NVIDIA GPU ever released. It was between 31% and 36% faster on 3DMark Vantage and between 5% and 20% faster on games than its predecessor, the GeForce GTX 480.

Overall feeling is that this is Fermi done right, unfortunately a year later than it was supposed to appear. If you are after a single GPU card, you don’t care much about your power bill and you can afford it, there’s no reason to overlook the Geforce GTX 580.

PC Advisor‘s review Edit Like Unlike

nVidia was late to the DirectX 11 game, and the GTX 480 ultimately failed to make much of a splash. But an extra six months in the proverbial tool shed has resulted in quite a showpiece. The nVidia GeForce GTX 580 is everything the GTX 480 should've been, but it's still saddled with some of the same problems. There's still no answer for AMD's Eyefinity technology - if you want to run three (or more) monitors, you'll still need to pick up a second GTX 580. The GTX 580 also lacks a DisplayPort connector, offering up a pair of DVI connectors and a mini-HDMI port instead - AMD's cards offer the full gamut. DisplayPort concerns aside, nVidia has managed an impressive feat. An unwieldy titan was reforged, delivering a component that outpaces the competition, and earns the vaunted "world's fastest" moniker.

Cards like the GTX 580 are good fits for these games as performance is stellar even with the highest resolutions and settings. NVIDIA has taken the GTX 580 and released what they should have released with the 480. For now, the GeForce GTX 580 has dethroned the champ the GTX 480 by margins of 10-25% depending on the benchmark and is the fastest currently available single chip video card on the market deserving of an Editor’s Choice.

Tom's Hardware‘s review Edit Like Unlike

Nvidia armed the GeForce GTX 480 with an attractive feature set that included great performance in today’s games, design cues that’d help augment frame rates in more demanding geometry-heavy titles (it looks like the company’s projections are actually coming to pass through games like HAWX 2), CUDA support, PhysX, and 3D Vision. Weighing down that list was a more palpable collection of cons, including a high price tag, incredible heat, and a distractingly-loud cooler. Those dings were enough to hold us back from a recommendation.

The fastest single-GPU card money can currently buy - at least until AMD's challengers arrive.

The GTX 580 is undoubtedly the flagship product that many hoped would come from the Fermi architecture and the suddenness of its release shouldn’t be lost on anyone. It is meant to compete against whatever AMD has planned in the next month or so but somehow NVIDIA beat their rivals to the punch and that in itself speaks volumes about a true dedication towards moving the gaming market forward.

The new single-GPU speed leader at the time of this review, the GTX 580 offers a noticeable, if not huge, performance increase over its GTX 480 predecessor. It also runs quiet.

The GeForce GTX 580 is a huge success for NVIDIA. We are greatly impressed with this new Fermi GF110 GPU. The fact that NVIDIA was able to provide 20-30% more performance, with slightly less power utilization, and a quiet running video card compared to the GTX 480, demands kudos.
