Pny gtx 580 review: NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 580: Fermi Refined

PNY XLR8 Liquid Cooled GTX 580 OC 1.5GB Review

Performance Analysis

Touting the biggest factory overclock we’ve ever seen on a GTX 580 1.5GB by quite some margin, it wasn’t surprising to see the XLR8 GTX 580 1.5GB bettering all the other GTX 580s in the graphs. In Dirt 2 at 1,920 x 1,080 with 4x AA, the XLR8 GTX 580 OC stretched out a 5fps lead in its minimum frame rate above the Asus Matrix GTX580 Platinum, which managed 117fps. This was also 15fps faster than a stock speed GTX 580 1.5GB — a healthy 14 per cent increase.

Call of Duty: Black Ops resulted in less marked gains, the biggest being a 3fps advantage over the Asus card in the minimum frame rate at 2,560 x 1,600 with 4x AA. Meanwhile, in Arma II at the same resolution, the XLR8 GTX 580 OC climbed to second place in the table with a minimum frame rate of 29fps — nearly 12 per cent faster than a stock speed card. Battlefield: Bad Company 2 also saw healthy gains — at 1,920 x 1,080, for example, the 7fps rise in the minimum frame rate was equivalent to a 13 per cent increase over a stock speed card.

The hefty overclock also resulted in the XLR8 GTX 580 OC drawing an additional 37W over and above the Asus card. Thankfully, the cooling system performed excellently, with the load delta T of 25°C less than half of that of a stock card and 9°C cooler than the Asus card too. Sadly, this awesome result was marred by several issues. While the pump and stock cooler were inaudible, the 120mm fan included with the XLR8 GTX 580 OC proved to be very noisy and failed to spin down at all.

This is a shame, because with such low temperatures there would be ample room to reduce noise and still have awesome cooling. The obvious solution would be to purchase a slower fan or fan controller, but it’s a shame PNY didn’t nip this issue in the bud.

More worryingly, the combined pump and waterblock takes up a huge amount of space inside the cooler, restricting airflow. As the cooler has clearly had its fan speed reduced, this resulted in the rear of the PCB becoming scorchingly hot — while the GPU core is well catered for cooling-wise, the same can’t be said about the rest of the card. While we didn’t experience any heat-related crashes, we have concerns about the XLR8 GTX 580 OC’s potential to cook itself in the long term. Our concerns were also backed up by using a laser temperature sensor, which measured the rear of the PCB reaching a delta T of up to 75°C, while a stock GTX 580 1.5GB came in at 20°C less.

Overclocking turned out to very productive, though, and we were able to push the GPU to a staggering 940MHz — only the MSI N580GTX Lighting Xtreme Edition managed a higher frequency. We only managed to push the memory to 1.15GHz (4.6GHz effective), though — the same as the Asus Matrix GTX580 Platinum. This was enough to see the minimum frame rate in Bad Company 2 at 1,920 x 1,080 rise to 68fps, with Arma II at the same settings seeing a 5fps increase.

Conclusion

Our testing resulted in polarised findings. On the one hand, the PNY XLR8 Liquid Cooled GTX 580 OC 1. 5GB is awesomely fast, very overclockable and kept our GPU very cool indeed. However, this cooling comes at a price — its 120mm fan was very noisy, which partially defeats the point of water-cooling the card in the first place. Meanwhile, the remainder of the stock cooler, while quiet, also struggled to cool the rest of the card as well as a stock GTX 580 1.5GB.

The result is an expensive card that, instead of filling the gap between the best air-cooled cards and a fully water-cooled card, is inferior to both. As such, you’re better off either investing in water-cooling your GPU properly with a full-cover waterblock, or opting for a cheaper, quieter, air-cooled card.

Addendum: Since publishing this review, PNY got in contact with us and has confirmed the following: ‘the components’ thermals on our GTX 580 LC products are well within the thermal limits of the power components on the back of the GTX 580 LC board. Their thermal MAX are up to 125C. Furthermore, the PCB design does meet the minimum “Tg” of 140C & “Td” 295C ratings of the Standard PCB Specification for RoHS material. ‘ Thus, although we still have concerns about the high temperature of the card, as it’s within spec, we have ammended the cards scores at the end of this review.

Final Thoughts and Conclusions

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 is what we would consider a GeForce GTX 480 video card done right. When the GeForce GTX 480 first came out we were less than impressed and were one of the very few sites that didn’t give it an award or praise it because it was very fast in certain areas. Why is this? We knew something wasn’t exactly right about the card and when we went to use it on a daily basis in our office it would actually heat up our office to the point where it was uncomfortable. Trying to cook an egg on the GeForce GTX 480 made a few people upset at NVIDIA, but no one said our thoughts were wrong. NVIDIA brought out a new BIOS revision and later new drivers that helped reduce the temperature issues we found when running dual monitors. These are all just patches and were by no means a solution to the problem. Over the past seven months not one company wanted to send us a retail version to review because they knew our stance. This morning’s release of the GeForce GTX 580 and the fact that it is a re-engineered GF100 core with enhancements and improvements done to it confirm that we were right in our initial thoughts. That said, the GeForce GTX 580 is a whole new beast.

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 video card has better performance, makes less noise, runs cooler and draws less power than the GTX 480. We honestly love this card and it really sucks for NVIDIA that the original GeForce GTX 470 wasn’t designed this way. The performance of the GeForce GTX 580 was great and we constantly saw double digit performance gains in many of the games and applications that we benchmarked. Overclocking performance was also good as we were able to get another ~10% or so from a card that was already at the top of the performance charts for single GPU performance.

When it comes to pricing NVIDIA informed us that the GeForce GTX 580 will be $499 and that the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 480 will remain in the product lineup at around $449. If you look at online retailers like Newegg the GeForce GTX 580 is listed at $559.99 at the low end and some of the overclocked cards are priced at $589.99. Newegg looks like they are doing a 10% promo code right now, but they state that it is a limited time offer. Usually NVIDIA gives out a product lineup pricing sheet when a new GPU launches, but that was not the case this time. In fact, we specifically asked for one and were not given one. Based on the fact that NVIDIA won’t give us an SRP list of their products we feel that the $499 price they told the press isn’t accurate and that the prices shown online are correct.

EVGA GeForce GTX 580 015-P3-1580-AR – $559.99 plus shipping
EVGA GeForce GTX 580 SuperClocked 015-P3-1582-AR – $579.99 plus shipping

PNY GeForce GTX 580 VCGGTX580XPB – $589.99 plus shipping
MSI GeForce GTX 580 N580GTX-M2S15D5 – $559.99 plus shipping

11/9/2010 3PM CST UPDATE: NVIDIA just sent us an e-mail letting us know that they felt we were a bit harsh with out pricing comments and shared a link to Tiger Direct where they have a Galaxy GeForce GTX 580 available for the $499 price they told the press the card would be launched at. When we looked into pricing this morning there were no $499 cards available. We also noticed that Newegg dropped the price of the Gigabyte GeForce GTX 580 down to $549.99 now and after the 10% discount that card is down to $495. Looks like $495 is the best price to be seen so far.

TigerDirect GeForce GTX 580 Video Card Launch Day Pricing:

Galaxy GeForce GTX 580 58NLH5HS8GGX – $499.99 plus shipping
EVGA GeForce GTX 580 015-P3-1580-AR – $509.99 plus shipping
PNY GeForce GTX 580 VCGGTX580XPB – $514.99 plus shipping
MSI GeForce GTX 580 N580GTX-M2S15D5 – $514.99 plus shipping

The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 after the 10% off discount code can be had for $503.99, which makes it slightly more than the ATI Radeon HD 5970. The ATI Radeon HD 5970 can be found for $469.99 after rebate, so as you can see there is a $40 price difference between the two cards. The ATI Radeon HD 5970 was faster than the GTX580 in many of the benchmarks, but remember this is a dual-GPU solution and the GTX580 has just one GPU. The GeForce GTX 580 has a better upgrade path, uses less power, is nearly 3″ shorter and doesn’t have any multi-GPU scaling issues that arise with CrossFire and SLI solutions. Other things to consider are PhysX, 3D Vision and superior [email protected] and SLI scaling performance. It looks like AMD needs to get the Radeon HD 6900 series out the door! The AMD Radeon HD 6900 series will consist of Cayman (single-GPU) and Antilles (dual-GPU) and we can only hope that they can compete with the GeForce GTX 580. Our prediction is that the GeForce GTX 580 will be faster than Cayman, but will cost way more. Based on our testing we have to give the GeForce GTX 580 the Editor’s Choice award as this card is fast and NVIDIA looks to have designed it right the second time around.

Legit Bottom Line: The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580 Video Card has better performance, makes less noise, runs cooler and draws less power than the GTX 480!
