get it from eurocom for usd 869, -

For what i have been reading the 580M performs up to 57% better than
560M !!!! I just checked the driver(280.26) and that supports it already.

GO GO GO

Looking forward to seeing your results soooooooon !

How power hungry is this thing exactly i wonder )

Should not be more than the 6990M at stock is my best guess. Should work well with non OCed CPUs.

the m15x would be beastin'; did anyone try the original 6990 with the m15x?

I have a GPU similar to the 6990m almost identical. I use it and it's fine if I have both CPU and GPU clocks stock. Great performance. I haven't got a better PSU so I run into shutdowns when benching with high clocks.
Will update when I have the 580m.

i too heard it was > 100w which is why i'm doubting it would work.
still, would be awesome though and we have seen some pretty amazing things with the m15x so far.

basic Question > Does bios A09 support the 580M. How do we know for sure?
