NVIDIA discontinued the GPU GeForce GTX 580

Hello Tony Bailey,

Indeed, NVIDIA Geforce GTX 580 is going to be out of the market soon. As new Graphic Cards emerged in NVIDIA, the once powerful single GPU, the Geforce GTX 580, has now been discontinued in its production by NVIDIA. It will be replaced by a next generation graphics card. Along with its discontinuation, the next generation Kepler based Geforce GTX 680 which is actually Geforce GTX 580's successor is now out in the market.

Consequently, NVIDIA closed GTX 580's production in order for computer gamers and enthusiasts to invest in the new generation of graphics card with NVIDIA rather than buying the GTX 580 which is the previous generation of NVIDIA graphics card. This is much more of a marketing strategy to drag more customers in buying the latest graphic card instead of buying an older one although it is also very capable and powerful.

Well, I assume that the GTX 580 will still be in the market, but surely, it will not be long until it is all sold out or phased out of the market. Anyway, GTX 580 was truly a GPU to be considered. It was even out in the market for a year and 5 months which is actually pretty long in GPU terms. Well, NVIDIA fans out there should also consider investing in the new line of NVIDIA GPU's.

Hope this helps.
