NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 580: Fermi Refined
by Ryan Smith on November 9, 2010 9:00 AM ESTSTALKER: Call of Pripyat
The third game in the STALKER series continues to build on GSC Game World’s X-Ray Engine by adding DX11 support, tessellation, and more. This also makes it another one of the highly demanding games in our benchmark suite.
STALKER ends up being a mixed bag for NVIDIA, depending on the competition. The GTX 580 still holds a solid lead over the GTX 480, but it’s not as great as in other games. Meanwhile the GTX 580 can tie the 5970 at 2560 before falling behind at 1920. It’s worth noting that among single-GPU cards, the 580 does become the first and only card to crack 60fps at 1920.

But can it play Crysis?Etern205 - Tuesday, November 9, 2010 - link
It already has a benchmark on Crysis...And it's no surprise as being the fastest Direct X 11 card in the single GPU category.

"Red 580 Load" instead of "Ref 580 Load" at the top of the power temp & noise page.DigitalFreak - Tuesday, November 9, 2010 - link
Let it go.taltamir - Wednesday, November 10, 2010 - link
only in reduced quality, the specifically said it, and any other card on the market, can't play a maxed out crysis.B3an - Wednesday, November 10, 2010 - link
It can play Crysis maxed out. If this thing can get 38FPS (playable) on "gamer quality" at 2560 res with 4xAA then it can certainly run crysis maxed out at the way lower 1080p res.The 480 that i owned could do this. And one of my 5870's can also do it...but with no AA.

And what would you call the 6870/6850?Goty - Tuesday, November 9, 2010 - link
The 6870 and 6850 since there were real architectural changes and there are still faster cards to come.
