EVGA GeForce GTX 580 SuperClocked 015-P3-1582-AR graphics card

EVGA GeForce GTX 580 SuperClocked identity

The EVGA GeForce GTX 580 SuperClocked 015-P3-1582-AR is a factory-overclocked graphics card built on the 40 nm Fermi architecture. It targets enthusiasts who want DirectX 11 and OpenGL 4.1 capability with a 797 MHz core clock and 1594 MHz shader clock out of the box. The 512 CUDA cores and 1.5 GB GDDR5 frame buffer suit high-resolution gaming and GPU compute workloads.

Sustained-load behaviour

The 384-bit memory interface running at an effective 4050 MHz feeds the 512 cores continuously, helping the GPU maintain its elevated clocks during extended sessions. Fermi’s vapour-chamber thermal design moves heat away from the GF110 die efficiently, so the card runs quieter than the prior generation while holding 797 MHz core and 1594 MHz shader speeds. Driver support for NVIDIA Surround, 3D Vision, PhysX and SLI remains active under prolonged load.

Upgrade context from reference GTX 580

Compared with the reference 772 MHz core and 1544 MHz shader configuration, this SuperClocked model delivers a measurable frequency uplift without user intervention. The 4050 MHz effective memory clock also edges past the stock 4008 MHz. The jump is worthwhile when you need immediate extra throughput for 2560 x 1600 gaming or multi-monitor setups and prefer a validated, warranty-backed overclock over manual tuning.
