The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580-based video card is based on its next-generation GF110 GPU and is the first to take full advantage of the capabilities of the company's latest GPU architecture (Fermi).

Forming the backbone of the first card in NVIDIA’s GeForce 500 series, the GTX 580 is currently the fastest single-GPU graphics card on the market with a GPU clock of 772 MHz, a processor clock of 1,544 MHz, and a 1.5 GB GDDR5 memory clocked at 1,000 MHz (running on a 384-bit interface).

The GTX 580 boasts a full complement of 16 streaming multiprocessors which means 512 CUDA cores, 16 polymorph engines, four raster units, 64 texture units, and 48 raster operation pixel pipelines (ROPs). Moreover, the GTX 580 is quieter, cooler, and more power efficient than its predecessor, the GTX 480.
