Looks good to me. Fastest DX11 card on the planet sounds great to me.
10-15 perc. speed increase doesn't sound so great to me, considering it's stock overclocked. Sure, being quiter and with lesser power consumption, which is all nice, but for us, this isn't much. Also, 1,5gb ram. There we go.

From the Anandtech review...
http://www.anandtech.com/show/4008/nvid ... ce-gtx-580
So what’s next? A few different things. From the NVIDIA camp, NVIDIA is promising a quick launch of the rest of the GeForce 500 series. Given the short development cycles for NVIDIA we’d expect more refined GF10x parts, but this is very much a shot in the dark. Much more likely is a 3GB GTX 580, seeing as how NVIDIA's official product literature calls the GTX 580 the "GeForce GTX 580 1.5GB", a distinction that was never made for the GTX 480.

More interesting however will be what NVIDIA does with GF110 since it’s a more capable part than GF100 in every way. The GF100 based Quadros and Teslas were only launched in the last few months, but they’re already out of date. With NVIDIA’s power improvements in particular, this seems like a shoo-in for at least 1 improved Quadro and Tesla card.

Now if only someone could find a way to directly connect a 120GB Solid State Drive (SSD) to this 580 GTX card. ;)

I would buy 4x460 2GB before 2x580 1.5GB and saving ~100€,
if you have a good power amp and the board can handle it...
