EVGA GeForce GTX 580 015-P3-1580-TR 1536MB GDDR5 graphics card

Fermi GTX 580 for PCIe 2.0 systems

The EVGA GeForce GTX 580 015-P3-1580-TR is a Fermi-architecture graphics card built for enthusiasts running PCI Express 2.0 platforms. It delivers 512 CUDA cores clocked at 772 MHz with a 1544 MHz shader clock. The 1536 MB GDDR5 frame buffer operates across a 384-bit interface at 4008 MHz effective. DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.1 support cover the API requirements of the period.

PCIe 2.0 x16 bandwidth and display limits

The card installs in a PCI Express 2.0 x16 slot, which caps theoretical bandwidth at the 2.0 specification. Two dual-link DVI outputs and one mini HDMI port drive displays up to 2560 x 1600 resolution. HDCP readiness protects premium video playback. SLI support allows a second identical card to be paired for multi-GPU scaling. The 400 MHz RAMDAC handles analogue conversion on the DVI-I ports.

Dual-slot reference cooler with standard mounting

The reference design occupies two expansion slots and uses a radial blower that exhausts heat through the rear I/O bracket. This layout keeps hot air out of the chassis regardless of case airflow. Mounting holes follow the standard Fermi pattern, so the card fits any ATX board with a PCIe 2.0 x16 slot and sufficient length clearance. External power comes from two six-pin connectors, a common requirement for 500-series cards.
