£418-£459.99Looking back over the past year, Nvidia have had a tough ride. Firstly, they were late with the release of their high end GPU, resulting in AMD taking the golden opportunity to grab some much needed market share, and secondly their Fermi a...
Evaluating Nvidias GTX580 is fairly straightforward. Its without a doubt the best single GPU graphics card available on the market. The only real competition would be from AMD HD5970, which unfortunately we didnt have on test. However, given that t...

After the launch of the GF100 that's found on the GeForce GTX 480, 470, and 465 cards, it became apparent that some changes were necessary in order to not only streamline the architecture but also improve upon some of the issues that became apparent; n...
The simple fact right up front here is that the GeForce GTX 580 avoids the pitfalls of the GF100 card release, such as high power consumption, high temperatures, and high noise levels we saw in those models. As such, the 580 could be seen to render the...
