Quadro FX 580: specs and benchmarks

Summary

NVIDIA started Quadro FX 580 sales 9 April 2009 at a recommended price of $199 . This is a Tesla architecture desktop card based on 55 nm manufacturing process and primarily aimed at designers. 512 MB of GDDR3 memory clocked at 1.6 GHz are supplied, and together with 128 Bit memory interface this creates a bandwidth of 25.6 GB/s.

Compatibility-wise, this is single-slot card attached via PCIe 2.0 x16 interface. Its manufacturer default version has a length of 198 mm. No additional power connector is required, and power consumption is at 40 Watt.
