back ot, nvidia did a good job with this release. I am happy as a consumer to see some competition.. Which eventually drive down prices.

With less trannies? Unlikely.
The link doesn't seem to be working for me at all.
Furmark is useless, and their Crysis test does not give me what I want in the average.
Let me clarify, since you obviously didn't get what I was saying: I want the maximum power consumption under a typical gaming situation. You are right AT already does this with the Crysis test. However I also want the average power consumption over time. So AT could log the power usage over a 5 minute Crysis demo. This will incorporate the highs, lows, and middles of power consumption for a typical card. With this information you can more accurately estimate total energy useless; you can't just use the maximum or peak value to do this.
I'm really shocked why a few of you didn't get what I was saying. I first said Furmark was useless. Then I said I wanted maximum values. I should have spelled it out for you guys, but I meant maximum under a gaming situation, not maximum under Furmark. Because... yeah... I stated with vehemence that Furmark was useless... Jesus.
Isn't the transistor count on a 580 less than that on a 480? The TPU review is getting smashed I guess, I can't even load their page.
In any case if I'm right that a 580 has less transistors (I believe 3.0billion versus 3.2billion on the 480) and is faster than a 480, then it's entirely possible that a 570 could be roughly 480 performance (as happy medium said).
If they can put two 570s on a card and have it fit the power specification, then it certainly could be quite a monster. I'm not sure why there is a debate over this?
Why wouldn't they just down clock to 580's and put both on 1 card?

Bingo. If it's smaller then it's the admission their original architecture (Fermi) is a complete hackjob. If it isn't it's even worse because that means they shouldn't have released it at all...
I don't have a reason beyond precedent: the recent example of the 5970, that had two 5850s. If AMD's chips used less power and so forth, I thought it would just be far more likely that since they didn't put their flagship chip x2 on the same board, that Nvidia wouldn't be able to as well. But you're right, who knows?

Its down now.. I just accessed it like 20 mins back.
The 5970 has two 1,600sp chips clocked at 725MHz(not 1,440).
The noise levels are impressively low.
I just hope that thermal limiting doesn't impact games (or even better, can be disabled).
Not impressed. Nvidia's newest, most advanced, top of the line card is just as fast than a year old dual card. *yawn*

Comparing a dual GPU card to a single GPU card. Right, that makes a lot of sense /sarcasm.
It's not valid because it beats the 580. :hmm:What's not valid about the comparison?
Thanks for uploading those, I missed the review while it was up.https://dl.dropbox.com/u/1061446/580avp.jpg

Some are missing because I didn't have the page (Call of Juarez) or they are useless (3D Mark).
Also some summary graphs because I got lazy.
It does when they are both a single PCIe slot (or 2 'slots') so neither requires a 'special' motherboard, and when both (theoretically) will be available for $500.
What's not valid about the comparison?
