reports NVIDIA has ended the production of the GeForce GTX 580, the company's former flag ship.
When launched in November 2010, this card retained its position as the fastest single GPU card right up until AMD responded with the HD 7900 series. Now having reached its EOL status, this marks the card as having been on the market for just over 1 year and 5 months - quite a good run indeed.
With the above said and done, NVIDIA's new 28nm Kepler based GTX 680 is doing a great job as a replacement with adoption rates looking super strong. Remaining GTX 580 inventories will continue to be floating about for a little while as they gradually get filtered out through the market.
