Is the old man still good at the house? On stage is the GeForce GTX 580

This miracle of the Greens was born in November 2010. What is it capable of today?

A TechSpot he delighted his visitors with a huge surprise when he unexpectedly took out one of the flagships of the Fermi family and subjected it to a selection of “tortures”. The series saw the light of day with the GeForce GTX 480 and 470 (spring 2010), and the eyes of the readers widened at the first tests. The 250-watt TDP was an astonishingly high value for a graphics processor at the time, and due to brutal heat generation, the card became a central figure in geek memes.

TSMC outperformed the GF100 chip, with all the problems of 40nm manufacturing technology (leakage current, poor yield, etc.). The hot-headed behemoth did not cool back to hand warm level even 10 minutes after exercise, although the reference model could by no means be described as quiet. The new model, born of an upgrade to the GeForce GTX 480, has boosted performance while improving fuel consumption - making the stuff friendlier in one fell swoop.

Then write your opinions on how you think the old warrior is performing, we see this performance after nearly 8 years is extremely convincing. Obviously the picture is very mixed, but overall, it's definitely there! It’s also worth noting that with properly set graphics quality, (almost) every game hisses, so you can still play with it.
