Nvidia over the weekend gave PDXLAN attendees a sneak peek inside the technology behind its upcoming GeForce GTX 580 videocard, and if you thought team green was excited, e-tailers are having trouble containing themselves.
News and rumor site Fudzilla claims to have spotted an Asus ENGTX580 on Amazon priced at $519 before the online retailer yanked the listing. Using our Google-fu, we uncovered several listings on Provantage, though none of them are currently using real product pics, and several are priced through the roof (close to $1,000, which isn't what these cards will actually go for). Over at Sabre PC, we spotted an EVGA brand GTX 580 priced at $500, while EVGA forum member "Chaotic Yeti" snapped a pic of the same card selling in a Minnesota Micro Center for $580 (see below).
The bottom line is these cards are coming soon and will likely be priced between $500 to $600.

Someone recently made a statement about the GTX580 being vapor ware. That picture sure doesn't look like vapor ware. Perhaps this is just the same GTX480 chip but with all it's stream processors enabled. Remember how the GTX 480 has some stream processors disabled, well this is why. It's the same card with a shiny new cooling solution and some more features enabled. I wonder if it will be possible to take the firmware from a GTX580 and install it on a GTX480 to gain all the GTX580 features.

I just bought my GTX 470 the other day. I think I'll sell it on eBay to get my hands on a GTX580! Yeah Baby!

The new amd cards that came out are their mid range cards so they are slower than the old higher end models. This Nvidia card should be faster than the GTX 480... if it doesn't melt your power supply
