NVIDIA just released their latest video card. This card uses redesigned GF 100 chip that used on GTX 480, the new GF 110 GPU. NVIDIA had listened to people who complain about super power hungry and very hot temperature in their GTX 480. GeForce GTX 580 will be the next NVIDIA flagship on high end video cards.

On performance, there is an improvement of 20% to GTX 480, makes it the fastest single GPU card in the planet (12/11/2010). In some DirectX 11 games, it even beats AMD dual GPU card HD 5970.

The battle of older and younger brother. In this review we will doing some test on 2 different generation video cards. HD 4670 came from Radeon 4000-series, which released on Q4 2008, and HD 5670 is on AMD’s latest GPU series, 5000-series. With different technology and fabrication, its almost sure that the Radeon HD 5670 can easily beat the older Radeon HD 4670.
