GeForce GTX 580 Expected to be 20% Faster than GeForce GTX 480
NVIDIA's next enthusiast-grade graphics processor, the GeForce GTX 580, based on the new GF110 silicon, is poised for at least a paper-launch by end of November, or early December, 2010. Sources in the video card industry told DigiTimes that the GTX 580 is expected to be 20% faster than the existing GeForce GTX 480. The new GPU is built on the existing 40 nm process, NVIDIA's 28 nm GPUs based on the Kepler architecture are expected to take shape only towards the end of 2011. Later this week, AMD is launching the Radeon HD 6800 series performance graphics cards, and will market-launch its next high-end GPU, codenamed "Cayman" in November.

Is that ok? :laugh:
Ok, so you owe me one BTA! ;)
... but look at the bright side; you won't need any gas cooker after you get this GPU ... ;)
Same story .... over and over ..... It never ends folks!
GF110 = 3 x GPC = 576 SP
576/480 = 1.2 = +20% :eek:
Power consumption on Furmark
GTX460 = 155 W = 336 SP
GF110 = (155 W x 576 SP) / 336 SP = 265 W
iGame GTX460 = 141 W
GF110(?) = (141 x 576) / 336 = 241 W
there were also speculation about doubled gf100:laugh:
now there is no way nvidia can steal AMD's thunder
GPC = SPs + TMUs + rasterizers + setup engines + tesselators (Polymorph) + L1 cache
ROP partition = ROPs + memory controllers + L2 cache
When something increases everything increases by the same amount as long as the GPC is equal. GF100 and GF104 GPCs are different.
You want me to speculate power consumption based on ROP partitions?
GF104 = 2 ROP partitions = 155 W
GF110 = 3 ROP partitions = (155 x3) / 2 = 232 W
Other than silicon increase the only thing that affects power consumption is clock speed which I speculated is going to be the same more or less, and that it won't affect too much: as can be seen on the chart I provided @820 Mhz (quite an OC) the power is 176 W.
So it should be somewhat faster than 5970 tpucdn.com/reviews/MSI/N480GTX_GTX_480_Lightning/images/perfrel.gif
