PUBG is just an unoptimised piece of garbage that needs a really good CPU more than anything. I run it on an RX 560 and it doesn't play too bad even with that. Graphically it looks pretty average compared to other modern games.
Every game you tested consistently used more than 1.5GB of memory. This means the original version of the GTX 580 was handicapped by its own configuration. This card TRULY needs the extra VRAM. And I'd say the performance is GREAT for a GPU that originated in 2010.
Great video and I'm pretty surprised by the performance! I remember back in the day I chose 2 GTX 560 TI 2 GB cards over a single GTX 580 1.5 GB card. This was also when SLI support was pretty much at its best. Loved having a system that could outperform the current flagship from Nvidia for roughly the same cost, and because of the 2 GB of VRAM, those cards had a pretty good life! I eventually upgraded to a GTX 780 (at the end of Kepler's life when it was cheap) once SLI support started to decline, and one 560 TI wasn't cutting it at 1080p. In hindsight I probably should have gone AMD, but I was coming off of an AMD card (super budget HD 5570 lol) and was put through driver hell.
It truly was gimped one 580 classy out performed a 590 with easy. Now nvidia gimps with memory bandwidth rather than ram like the older series did every new card.(altho 2070 appears to be possibly the first card in awhile that might not actually be that limited by memory and will be the go to card if the performance matches the specs)
Excellent review and performance analysis of the legendary Fermi GTX 580 3g card. I never had the pleasure of owning this card but did get my hands on the EVGA Classified 560ti 448 (twin fan model) Played my games smooth as butter with my then new Sandy i7 2600k. I'm pretty sure my Kepler MSI GTX 660 oc was trading blows with the 580 in the performance charts. When GTX 760 came out, it pretty much sealed the GTX 580's outliers in all games at that time. Thanks F2F for interesting informative video.
Finally a case where 3GB of ram on a card from 2011 was worth having. I'm sure for half of these new games you'd be running into low memory related issues if it was not 3GB
Thanks for adding in the asic! Great video. I have that very same card. Haven't had a chance to try it out or bench it yet and I'm happy to have your results to compare to now
I got these following scores on Firestrike based on the 750 (non and with Ti) : GTX 860M with an i3 4330: GPU = 4090. GTX 860M with an i7 4810MQ: GPU = 4081 Stock, 4549 OC. GTX 750 Non Ti with i3 2100: GPU= 3819 Stock, 4258 OC. Nowhere near your 3GB GTX 580 of 5199 and 5964 since your Classified was crazily overclocked!
The 3 Gb 580 is a beast, I owned the 3Gb GTX 580 Phantom from Gainward and I only swapped it out last year for a 1080 ti. I hope this will last this long as well.
Thank you for your great content. I owned an EVGA GTX 580 FTW2 from 2013 to late 2015. The card had one of the best chips with a ASIC near 90 and clocked up to >1100MHz. Sadly it was the 1,5GB version. I sold it for the same price I had bought it in 2013, 85€ shipping included. The watercooler was one of the best I've ever seen. The core never went past the upper 50°C and so my old powersurply from CM with 520W 80+ had to do a hard job. It was paired with a AsRock P67 Pro3 and a I5 2500k @ 4,6GHz. The hole system was watercooled (2xVRM, the chipset, the GPU, the CPU).
I’ve test the GTX 580 1.5GB and it’s also a beast! Especially the fact that it can actually handle GTA 5 at 1440p without breaking a sweat. Just the VRAM limits the graphic settings from getting turned up it actually crushed 1440p normal settings from my tests!
Lucas Jensen Watch my video and see for yourself. In my video you can see the Vram is maxed out at 1.5 GB in the settings menu. I guess I “cheated” and had the fan speed maxed which sounded like a jet engine. But I wanted to see the cards full potential.
I own the reference gtx480 1536mb vram and boy does it struggle.. vram one main issue, other thing is just out right lack of grunt, speeds aren't fast enough and the lack of cores is another. Some times it will surprise you like shadow of mordor will do well and even battlefield 4 is do able but then other times its just a stuttery mess and sometimes drivers/games updating kinda made it worse (fortnite was one example). I'm glad i down use it any more no wonder why it has the nickname thermi the thing is as hot as the sun haha. Nice to see how a 3gb model 580 would do i didn't even know they made them i thought they was just 1.5gb and the 570gtx was the 1.3gb (which seems a bit backwards considering vrams low enough at 1.5gb and the 480 has more vram). Cool video man
Having owned a 3GB GF114 card (670M), i always felt that other fermi cards were very much limited by their small frame buffers. That card managed to perform well over what the equivalent 1.5GB desktop and mobile card with the same GF114 config despite the much lower clocks... Now translate that to the larger GF110 chip...
I was just thinking about this channel last night and you uploaded this awesome video with sexy beast of a gpu. Loved it also was that a buick gnx at the beginning or was it a monte carlo
Good old Fermi, if you ever decided to go for the moon on a suicide run on a much more common and cheaper card with some extreme modding Fermi tops out around 1.1 to 1.5ghz.
One thing you might consider, if you have the tools... Apparently this series of cards (4*0 and 5*0) had IHS's over them, and another video showed someone de-lidding their GTX 480, applying Conductonaut, and getting a pretty drastic reduction in temperatures. It didn't affect resulting performance all that much, but it would likely have made the card a lot happier.
I’ve done a Delid on the GTX 470, even made a video on it. I failed to remove the old glue which would of helped seat the IHS a bit better. Temps came down, but nothing dramatic. The glue is baked on there. Not sure how I’d get it off without damaging something
Didn't Nvidia add Vulkan support for Fermi in 2017 or something? I don't know if it would bring any performance improvement, but it is supported EDIT: oops my mistake, they added DirectX12
I got some benchmarks to share. All in Firestrike. Gtx 960 (+ i5 2500): 7864(graphics), 6403(total) Gtx 960m (+ i7 6700hq): 4693(graphics), 4254(total) HD 6950 (+ i5 2500): 2934(graphics), 2815(total). 3DMark showed a validation error here, likely because I used the beta drivers from March 2016. Maybe I'll rerun the test with the latest stable drivers from Juli 2015.
I have one of these lying around, still with the box that was barely used. Maybe I should see if I can get a water clock for it and hook it up to my loop?
Whoa. My 1060 managed +180 on the core and +620 on memory without touching voltages. I never went higher since the restarting of screen kind of scared me lol. Also that power draw though.
it's not only a Vram issue that holds this card back but also the gpu's architetture itself,Nvidea moved on kepler to crush more performance out of cuda cores while saving energy. .
Absolutely love this card I have this card but palit 3gb one and suprsingly I can push 1ghz on core with 1.2milivolts and memory to 2.2ghz but it runs to hot so I run it at 940 mhz

Fermi preforms better than expected and clearly shows why you want a card with as much Vram as possible. I predict that the 7970 will no longer be able to keep up in modern titles in 2 years once the PS5 and Next gen Xbox are out. The Vram needed for gaming at high in 2 years will be around 4-5GB.
will do,recently picked up a gtx 760ti(oem) alien/dellware so will post results when done.sadly ,had to underclock gpu by 99 mhz it to get it running.:/ any suggestions?
My 2010 system with a AM3 1055t at 2.8Ghz and a 7870 2gb at 1050Ghz gets 4142 in the Superposition Benchmark and gaming performance might be more stable on newer titles due to continuous driver support from AMD for my model, and having played over 600 hours of the Witcher 3 I can cay it is enough for 1080 medium to low settings, limited by vram many times but getting stable 40-50 fps in all games
So, my 4gb Zotac GTX 960 (not AMP edition), "stock" core at 1329mhz and 3506mhz memory and OC core at 1469mhz, memory at 3856mhz. -Superposition, 1080p Medium Stock: Score 4607, Avg FPS 34.46, Min 28.20, Max 45.02 OC: Score 5099, Avg FPS 38.14, Min 31.14, Max 50.22 -Valley, Extreme HD Stock: Score 1392, Avg FPS 33.3, Min 19.2, Max 60.3 OC: Score 1531, Avg FPS 36.6, Min 17.8, Max 67.1 I don't have 3DMark, and temps were basically the same. I added 20 mVs to core, going from 1.198V to 1.218V. Can't really give you numbers, but I remember having higher fps at higher settings with GTA V for example, but that's probably because you used the built in benchmark, while I just fuck around. Still, I'm quite sure I get around 10 or more fps on most games that have been benchmarked and that I have played before (RB6S and PUBG mainly). Take that with a grain of salt.
Funny thing, this card has survived two 980 TI two classifieds that died on me. My backup that never lets me down. Hopefully the 3000 series will do me better.
I own the GTX 570 with 1280MB VRAM, man it's so memory starved. I had to fall back to Classic Windows theme to save some 100 MB of VRAM for PUBG to run with less stutter. If not for VRAM, I feel like I still would run games at medium, not very low.
@@VADemon it's not 3.5gb it's 4gb on 970 just 500mb is slower access but that got altered in drivers so that the slow 500mb is always used with data that doesn't need speed . I never had a vram issue with 970 If it's cheap a Gtx 980 solves the vram issue OR ITS LOGICAL SUCCESSOR A GTX 1060 6GB I JUST UPGRADED FROM 1050TI BUT IM GONNA MISS THAT LITTLE 1050ti a lot very impressive card Gtx 570 damm that's so memory starved these days If u on a real budget gtx 960 4gb edition or Gtx 780 infact evga did a 6gb version of that if u can find it but 3gb would be fine
v for vendetta I will patiently wait for the next gen, just like I intended in 2016 :D As for 900-series: I'd like to have the more advanced video encoder and decoder that were introduced with Pascal/Polaris for my purposes. As for 970: I know about the drivers but I'm not going to support them for their initial behaviour (they could have got away with that). Nor the GPP attempt. Freesync is gonna be a little bonus if RTG produces something competetive and miners don't spike prices again somehow... Before you say anything: I've never had a Radeon GPU in my life before.

Damn the PUBG Performance was nice, that VRAM was needed much more than I would have ever thought.
I’m surprised as well.

PUBG does not like to run on cards with less then 3gb of vram.
pubg mobile, with tencent gaming buddy 1000% better.

I’m pretty shocked with the numbers this card put down. Would love to compare it with a 1.5 GB model for S & G’s
Think stock Nvidia cards are always handy caped with there limited vram it's part of reasons fine wine is a real thing as time goes on
If only the 590 shipped with 6GB VRAM, then that would truly be Fermi's last hope
Holy shit...this card alone draws twice more power than current gen entire builds...xD
I know right . Loves the POWAH!!!!
F2F Tech Yeah haha I bet it would make a top notch toaster as well 😂😂
jonny j Yes it does. My entire pc running a Rx480 8GB draws under 200watts.

I totally agree with you about VRAM being the Achilles heel of Fermi. The 580 was/is a pretty good card, but gimped due to the stock 1.5GB of VRAM...

Fermi preforms better than expected and clearly shows why you want a card with as much Vram as possible. I predict that the 7970 will no longer be able to keep up in modern titles in 2 years once the PS5 and Next gen Xbox are out. The Vram needed for gaming at high in 2 years will be around 4-5GB.
Or just faster memory
I'd say for 4k you need at least 12GB but 8 is efficient enough.
if you use HBM2 with HBCC you only need 8GB.
I wanted this card so much. But ended up with the non classified 3gb model.
Damn , whomever had 2600k gtx580 3gb is still enjoying good gaming experience 10 years later.
wow this is quite impressive for an aging card
Monster
will do,recently picked up a gtx 760ti(oem) alien/dellware so will post results when done.sadly ,had to underclock gpu by 99 mhz it to get it running.:/ any suggestions?
Overheating?
How come the Pubg test only had stock settings? Did the overclock not make a difference?
It would make a difference. It’s just hard to get two exact runs in this game, as the replay feature runs much worse.
My 2010 system with a AM3 1055t at 2.8Ghz and a 7870 2gb at 1050Ghz gets 4142 in the Superposition Benchmark and gaming performance might be more stable on newer titles due to continuous driver support from AMD for my model, and having played over 600 hours of the Witcher 3 I can cay it is enough for 1080 medium to low settings, limited by vram many times but getting stable 40-50 fps in all games
Thanks for the info. 600hrs in TW3. That’s awesome 👏. I’m still playing it, and I’m taking my time and enjoying it greatly.
Was this card superior to the regular EVGA GeForce GTX 580 3072MB?
Higher clock speeds and much better power delivery
2nd gen Fermi isn't as bad as people think it is. It might've ran hot but it was a solid architecture.
I would very much like to know what the song in the intro of the video was.
I’ll have to look it up.
Good ole Gbody intro.
Oh yeah. Love me some Gbody cars.
So, my 4gb Zotac GTX 960 (not AMP edition), "stock" core at 1329mhz and 3506mhz memory and OC core at 1469mhz, memory at 3856mhz.
-Superposition, 1080p Medium
Stock: Score 4607, Avg FPS 34.46, Min 28.20, Max 45.02
OC: Score 5099, Avg FPS 38.14, Min 31.14, Max 50.22
-Valley, Extreme HD
Stock: Score 1392, Avg FPS 33.3, Min 19.2, Max 60.3
OC: Score 1531, Avg FPS 36.6, Min 17.8, Max 67.1
I don't have 3DMark, and temps were basically the same. I added 20 mVs to core, going from 1.198V to 1.218V.
Can't really give you numbers, but I remember having higher fps at higher settings with GTA V for example, but that's probably because you used the built in benchmark, while I just fuck around. Still, I'm quite sure I get around 10 or more fps on most games that have been benchmarked and that I have played before (RB6S and PUBG mainly). Take that with a grain of salt.
Running this card in 4-way SLI would be just turning your PC into a freaking forge
The same one used to make Thor’s Axe
Funny thing, this card has survived two 980 TI two classifieds that died on me. My backup that never lets me down. Hopefully the 3000 series will do me better.
I own the GTX 570 with 1280MB VRAM, man it's so memory starved. I had to fall back to Classic Windows theme to save some 100 MB of VRAM for PUBG to run with less stutter.
If not for VRAM, I feel like I still would run games at medium, not very low.
Buy a Gtx 970 / Rx 570 or my favourite for budget 1050ti play any game u want 1080p at decent settings
tenks man, I'd rather not buy 3.5 gb or support the big bois anymore. I will make a choice when I have money spare
@@VADemon it's not 3.5gb it's 4gb on 970 just 500mb is slower access but that got altered in drivers so that the slow 500mb is always used with data that doesn't need speed . I never had a vram issue with 970
If it's cheap a Gtx 980 solves the vram issue
OR ITS LOGICAL SUCCESSOR A GTX 1060 6GB
I JUST UPGRADED FROM 1050TI
BUT IM GONNA MISS THAT LITTLE 1050ti a lot very impressive card
Gtx 570 damm that's so memory starved these days
If u on a real budget gtx 960 4gb edition or Gtx 780 infact evga did a 6gb version of that if u can find it but 3gb would be fine
v for vendetta I will patiently wait for the next gen, just like I intended in 2016 :D
As for 900-series: I'd like to have the more advanced video encoder and decoder that were introduced with Pascal/Polaris for my purposes.
As for 970: I know about the drivers but I'm not going to support them for their initial behaviour (they could have got away with that). Nor the GPP attempt. Freesync is gonna be a little bonus if RTG produces something competetive and miners don't spike prices again somehow...
Before you say anything: I've never had a Radeon GPU in my life before.
@@vforvendetta4538 do AMD cards not exist in your world lol.
