NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580
The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 is a high-end desktop graphics card which was introduced at the end of 2010. It is based on the GF110 Fermi chip with all cores enabled. This means that the 580 offers 512 shaders, 64 texture units and 16 polymorph engines. As a special feature of the Fermi architecture, the shaders are clocked twice as fast as the rest of the chip (e.g. the texture units).
The performance of the GTX 580 is significantly higher than the mobile GeForce GTX 580M (which is actually a lower clocked GTX 560 Ti). Compared to the competition, the GTX 580M is roughly on a par with a Radeon HD 7950. The successor card to the Kepler generation, the GTX 680 can clearly set itself apart with a lead of around 30%.
With a TDP of 244 watts, the GTX 580 is one of the most power-hungry graphics cards and requires a powerful power supply for operation.
