Nvidia's GTX 580 is the best single-GPU card on the market. There's no caveat – across our entire benchmarking suite, it held sway over all others. It's down to the exemplary GF110 GPU sitting at the heart of it. Fermi has proven to be...

The Zotac Geforce GTX 580 outscores all available graphics cards in the market today and does so without making too much noise or generating uncomfortable levels of heat. Even though it might be expensive at £369, it is, by all counts, a superior...

The ZOTAC GTX 580 made me question whether or not I had a hand picked card given the data I gathered. NVidia’s Fermi GTX 580 improvements coupled with ZOTAC’s own internal tweaks has resulted in a much quieter and cooler video card than the...

The end of the year is fast approaching and with the release of the 6900 Series cards now with us, the cards are now on the table to see who will have the fastest and more importantly the best all round card out of AMD and Nvidia. Nvidia have taken...

It goes without saying that the GTX 580 is the fastest single-GPU card in the market at present. Take any game max out all the effects and this card won’t give in easily. No other card comes close to the GTX 580, but a pair of HD 6870s which would...

So after all that, is the GTX580 another GTX8800 or another FX5800?When we first got the Zotac out of the box we have to confess we were somewhat taken aback. Considering the main problem with the GTX480 was it being hotter than Katy Perry wearing...

More power, less heat, less noise. With AMD’s recent launch of their 6xxx series card with the mainstream HD 6870 & 6850, the only high-end GPU I was looking forward to before the end of the year was the upcoming HD 6900 series, especially...
