    Hope that it's not the hottest or loudest card on earth.
    or if so it would put the PCs on fire. :)

    hardly worthy of the gtx580 moniker, it's basically what the gtx480 was supposed to be (16 SMs) so why not call it gtx485 or gtx490?

    Both ATi and Nvidia are raping their naming schemes, what a surprise
