Rumor has it that the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 will be coming out soon. This card will likely have all 512 streaming processors enabled, and be using the GF110 chip. A User over in the [H]ard|OCP forum found a web page that NVIDIA put up themselves describing the system requirement for 3-D Vision. On that web page, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 was listed as one of the cards capable of supporting 3-D Vision. Of course, NVIDIA has taken down any mention of the GTX 580 now. A screen shot was taken, which you see above. Check out the link below for the full screen shot.
When will we likely see the GTX 580 come out? Well, we know that AMD just released a new series of graphics cards today for the mid range segment of the gaming population. The Radeon HD 6870 and 6850 are based on the Northern Island series, and specifically the Bart GPU. Next month AMD will be releasing the Cayman series GPUs as the 6900 series of graphics cards for the high end segment of the gaming population. I fully expect to see the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 in late November or early December. The real question is how will it compare to the Radeon HD 6900 series in performance and price.
