The reason its only "6%" is because you decided to use a graph that sets the 100% at a much faster card...
If you set the 580 as the 100% mark, the 7970 would have a larger percentage increase. That explains some of the difference.
Basically that graph is not showing what you want it to.
1 Ghz 580 had aftermarket cooler (a very beefy one) or was done for suicide benchmark runs. There is an almost negligible chance you can get a stock 580 to 1 ghz speeds.
NVMD... Looks like I can't read.
Looks to be a good card. Might want to clock it = to a 460 and see how much the extra shaders benefit versus the clock.
Ah, I thought the smiley meant something else. If you want a preliminary look at the 560, the 485m mobile gpu has some leaked benches and is basically a 560 (384 shaders, 2 gb of gddr5, 590ish clocks).
notebookreview has some benchmarks as that as well as notebookcheck.
If you want a 15.6 incher that has some semblance of portability and battery life (though not much) the new p150 Clevo (find it on xoticpc.com) has a 485m (which is a 2gb, low clock 560), new sandy bridges, and an 8 cell battery. It is 2000 for a good build however. The 485m looks to be about...
Happy, in your vrzone link, that does not look like reference cooling at all on the 580 (I could be mistake, but that looks like an aftermarket tower cooler). The 560 probably won't clock higher than the 460 and probably will clock a little bit lower (extra units versus maturing process). Still...
Fine compare it to a similarly priced dual gpu card. Oh wait, there isn't one.
Compare it to two cards in SLI. AFAIK, 5970 will beat dual 460's or 470's.
Also, adding arbitrary rules into the competition about what should fairly be compared to what when prices are equal is a somewhat shoddy...
Too bad 5970 exists for that purpose. And that the 470 and 480 was also more expensive than the parts it beat.
The 570 is a nice evolutionary change, though with the ridic deals on 5870 and 470, it doesn't seem as good once those parts are EOL'ed.
So 580 GTX is all Nvidia can do for a next gen? That is a pretty pathetic increase from "last gen" (20% from 480). Pretty sure AMD will have a much bigger leap from their last gen (even though the 5970 still beats the 580).
You are both not listening to me at all. The data which he used to get his numbers is faked, and his performance numbers regarding the 480, 570, and 580 are also wrong.
Stop making up excuses for him and check beyond3d. Its such an obvious photoshop thats it is not even funny.
Also Happy...
THIS ARTICLE IS FAKE AND HAS WRONG NUMBERS. Come on Wreckage, just accept you made a mistake about the pricing and that this article is crap. One of the statements has to be wrong (6970 = 1.2 * 480 and 6970 < 570).
