NVIDIA's GTX 580 is the fastest single-GPU card here, unsurprisingly. But what may prove to be a continual thorn in the new card's side is performance exhibited by multi-GPU setups. They're just as fast and significantly cheaper. Here are the comparison numbers at 2,560x1,600:
| Comparison at 25x16 | GTX 480 | HD 5870 | HD 5970 |
| Faster/slower (per cent) | +15.1 | +28.3 | -17.8 |
