Report: Nvidia readying two new 6xx series GPUs with performance suspiciously similar to the discontinued 580 and 590...

Still rocking my 460 GTX on Skyrim and BF3. I don't care about any of these new cards until they can do things my old cards can't.

 

[amuffin]

R.I.P GTX 580 and GTX 590, both of you will be missed.

 

[aoneone]

woot! the 590 will go up even more and be even more valuable and sought after! ^_^

 

[Belardo]

The shock!

 

[sanirudh]

What is the point of showing photos of GTX 580/590 cards?

 

[sporkimus]

Be prepared to see a new GTX 650 added to the lineup.

Really Nov 2010? Time sure flies.

Anyway they were great cards, way better than the GTX 480 they replaced

I thought they would just rebadge them to 600 series

 

[trumpeter1994]

I think nvidia has so much more to squeeze out of kepler that there's no need to rebadge them. However the 540 is getting rebadged as the 630M

Man my 470's feel old now lol 2010 the gtx 580 was released. That means my cards are from 2009 wow.

 

[halcyon]

My little 7970s in cross-fire will have to do for a while.

 

[beltzy]

These new cards can do things your 460 can. Playable framerates in a LOT of games at resolutions where a 460 doesn't cut it.

Interesting Nvidia sees how big of an advantage they have so they're putting production of the 6xx series to the max, I think this is a good thing, we should see some nice price decreases very soon and then everyone can buy happily. About time too, I'm still using my invincible 8800gt, best card ever imo.

Better get me a 580 for my GPGPU applications before they are all gone -- can't afford the Tesla and the 680 sucks!

 

[Katera]

I love my 590!

 

[Guest]

Awesome!! I'm going to buy a gtx 680...oh wait.

6970 got a price drop and openCL is pretty mature now, and that card will blow away 580 based Teslas once the market switches off CUDA.

 

[g-unit1111]

I thought they already stopped producing the 590. It was overpriced compared to a 2 x 580 setup anyways.

 

[sp0nger]

How long will the 580 stay in stock?

 

[iamtheking123]

Was the 590 ever more than vaporware? I don't recall ever seeing it instock on newegg...the only people that had them had to jackhammer the f5 key on evga's website like a bangkok whore.

[citation][nom]greghome[/nom]I wouldnt be surprised considering TSMC's "28 yields are not doing so well"[/citation]

That only works with people who know nothing about computers.

 

[tomfreak]

what about GTX570 and GTX560 448 core. They are using the same chip are they gonna stop this together now? or they gonna keep producing it and disable even the perfect chip that make it to 580?
