If Nvidia’s flagship GTX 580 is either too expensive or too powerful for your needs, come December 7th a new option will present itself. The GTX 570 specs have been leaked, compliments of SWEClockers.com. The biggest improvement is the underlying GF110 architecture which is considerably more efficient and cooler running than the outgoing GF100 architecture that made the 4xx series famous for heat and power requirements.
As you can see, the new second in command to the GTX 580 features 480 shader cores unlocked — the same amount as Nvidia’s previous top of the line GTX 480 — ticking along at 732 MHz core, 1464 MHz CUDA cores, and 950 MHz (3800 MHz effective). Said speeds combined with a 320-bit wide GDDR5 memory bus equate to 152 GB/s of memory bandwidth. Power consumption is rated at 225W.
As previously stated, Nvidia is aiming for a December 7th release date — a mere 5 days before ATI launches their new 69xx series GPU’s. Anyone thinking about picking up one or two for Christmas?
