New Dual Nvidia 5X0 card coming THIS year! GTX580 15-20% faster than GTX480! GTX560 possible release

[Jibber55]

According to FUD there is a dual Nvidia 5X0 card coming this year so you might want to hold off buying that GTX580 next week.

I'm inclinded to think this will NOT be 2 X 580's though as:

Nvidia might be releasing GTX560 this year

They also mention the GTX580 will be a mere 15-20% faster than the GTX480:

Is it just me or does that not sound a lot?

I know some people have issue with Fudzilla but I really just don't care. Comments about the source will be ignored as we ALL already know about these type of sites. I'm just sharing the love!

You can take percentages with a pinch of salt as it can vary dramatically from game to game, res ect. My 480 is on par with a 5970 in some tiles, only 5% slower in some and up to 25% slower in others.

I would be very surprised if a dual GPU card was using the GF110 GPU, I expect it to use the GTX560 GPU, which looks as if it is the GTX475 people were expecting (GF104 with all the SMs enabled.)

I'll be interested to see if a pair of GTX560s are faster than a pair of GTX470s. (I suspect not, but they might be a lot more power/heat/overclock friendly).

Doesn't sound a lot if you consider them revisions, although it would be a lot of revisions for Nvidia, then haven't revamped the 480 yet, or produced dual chip board yet for fermi.

Just for the record.. are you talking at stock clocks for your card?

Good old Fuad is going to spin himself into a coma if he keeps going like this...

That brings me to a point..."when you got nothing....just spin...spin...spin"

 

[Jibber55]

I dunno Sky, for spin it's not that positive imo.

"when you got nothing....just spin...spin...spin"

You dont know otherwise so I guess your statement also applies to you

 

[achitophel]

From memory, Fud also posted incessantly and inaccurately about the release date for Fermi. I foolishly trusted it at the time, delayed buying my 5870 to wait for a comparison before finally giving up. I'd suggest waiting for a more reliable source before basing any decisions on "information" Fud releases...

Looks like with both at stock 5970 is about 18% faster than 480 across a range of current titles, or to put it another way it comprehensively beats it assuming you are going on tech powerups benchmark results.

My maths says 11% over all resolutions, and 16% @ 1920x1200

 

[RavenXXX2]

11% and he benches dirt2 in DX9 which apart from being plain stupid it gives AMD cards better performance figures over DX11 in which Nvidia dominate.

 

[straxusii]

It's between 13%-21% faster at 1680 res and above, the results at 1024 and 1280 are obviously irrelevant for cards like these and probably show limits other than GPU horsepower being hit.

 

[RavenXXX2]

Not much faster then.

 

[Gerard]

If the 580 is rumoured to be around 20% or so faster than a 480 then whats the point of a dual gpu card with similar performance.

Im expecting to see the "hardocp are biased towards ati" defence appearing very shortly

 

[RavenXXX2]

What like a 460x2, that will be an AIB specific release, Nvidia won't have much to do with it.

That and the fact them results are from March, beta drivers ect.

 

[Skyrocket]

heres 480 gettin smashed by 5970 in dirt2.........

34% anyone?

http://www.guru3d.com/article/his-radeon-6850-6870-review/13
latest drivers all around....


edit:- ah yes guru3d is biased towards AMD too....lol
edit2:- damn that 480 hardly beats a 5870....

 

[RavenXXX2]

Here, a more reputable site.

lol @ guru, it's clear that a 480 is way faster in Drit 2 than 2 fps over a 5870, class site.

So going by your logic if Hardocp give an nvidia card a good review theyre then biased for nvidia. Yet strangely enough you were very eager to link to hardocp when they gave nvidia surround a good review

You really need to rethink your pick and choose method of what reviews\sites you "trust" as it always revolves around what card you currently have in your system, and this has been proven numerous times...and is starting to get incredibly boring.
