Zotac GeForce GTX 580 review t-break: Tech Its Fastest

In face of competition from AMD's upcoming high-end Cayman GPU, Nvidia preemptively struck with the GF 110 series and the launch of the GTX 580 today. I'll be honest, I didn't even hear a whisper of this product until last week's leaks.
With AMDs recent launch of their 6xxx series card with the mainstream HD 6870 & 6850, the only high-end GPU I was looking forward to before the end of the year was the upcoming HD 6900 series, especially considering the GTX 480 launched just 7 months ago. Who wouldve thought that the 500 series will be launching from today onwards?

Ill be honest, I didnt even hear a whisper of this product until last weeks leaks on the internet, but having the card in my hand yesterday was quite an incredulous moment.
On paper the GTX 580 may not seem like much of step away from the GTX 480, but looking closely we find that there have been a lot of improvements that make this card better in more ways than just having higher horsepower. Firstly, the card runs much quieter than the GTX 480. Heck, at idle state, the GTX 580 is one of the quietest cards weve had in the Tbreak office; even the CPU fan on our Core i7 965EE was louder than the GTX 580.
