gtx580 @ 772mhz is beating a gtx480 @ 925mhz? If true, that is more than a 20% increase in performance. If all the leaked benchmarks regarding Cayman have truth to them, then the recent price war just started may end up lasting all the way to 28nm!
I like price wars. :thumbsup: And all of this without Larrabee, too! If Intel ever gets involved in a serious way, with their process advantage... that's not even a fair fight. Can you imagine a situation where Larrabee is at 15nm while GloFo and TSMC are struggling with 22nm? I can.
I can't imagine Larrabee at any die size. Though I suppose vaporware can be thought of as being viable at any size. I hope Intel gets serious about 3d graphics just to push PC gaming as the premier venue instead of consoles.
That's my hope with the new CPU/GPU chips coming out from Intel and AMD.
If true, the scores for the 480 and 580 are virtually the same. Since the 580 has a lower clockspeed does that confirm it's not based on the GF100 chipset?
I didn't notice that, still I'd be more interested in a card that was based on the GF104 chipset than the GF100. I really hope that is the case here.If you look carefully, those benchmarks are comparing a GTX480, overclocked 32% (925mhz up from 700mhz) to a stock GTX580 :biggrin: GTX580 does not have lower clock speeds.
Knights ferry is not Vapor ware give it up . After experiencing What SB igp can do . I much preferr intel to build off that . 12 EU is owning . I would like to see 100 eu on a discrete card.

I don't think Nvidia could get 30% better performance out of GF100 by enabling 32 more cores and bumping up the clock speed 10%.

The flat 480 can be found easily on several sites. The comparison shot of covered/uncovered 480 is from here:You got a link to were you got those pics. or not?
It was just a very early morning.OK thanks Isn't the 580 pix.Not real When I read the story very early yesterday morning . Thats what I got out of it.
