The GeForce GTX 580 graphics card is surely Nvidia’s most advanced and successful product today. As we know from our tests, this top-end single-processor card can satisfy most gamers, especially if they do not use super-high resolutions like 2560x1600 or 2560x1440. After all the mishaps with the G200 and GF100 processors, Nvidia’s stake on high-performance single-chip solutions has finally won.
However, the price of that product can repel quite a lot of gamers. The GeForce GTX 580 currently sells at its recommended price of $499 and it is but rarely that you can find it for $10-20 less. At the same time, the GeForce GTX 570 is considerably cheaper. Its recommended price is $329 and it can be found in retail for $300-310. And it is as good as the GeForce GTX 480 in its specs and surpasses the old GF100-based flagship in overclockability.
