NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 580: Fermi Refined
by Ryan Smith on November 9, 2010 9:00 AM ESTBattleForge DX10
Up next is BattleForge, Electronic Arts’ free to play online RTS. As far as RTSes go this game can be quite demanding, and this is without the game’s DX11 features.
BattleForge is one of the better examples of an “average” game for the GTX 580 compared to the GTX 480. At around 14% faster, it’s not too far off from the global average. Meanwhile the SLI and Crossfire setups pull ahead, but this time the GTX 580 is much closer to the 5970 and 6870CF.

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.
