PhysX Technology
NVIDIA® PhysX™ is the next big thing in gaming!Delivering physics in games is no easy task. It’s an extremely compute-intensive environment based on a unique set of physics algorithms that require tremendous amounts of simultaneous mathematical and logical calculations. The best way to get real-time physics, such as explosions that cause dust and debris, characters with life-like motion or cloth that drapes and tears naturally is with an NVIDIA®PhysX™-ready GeForce® processor. PhysX software is widely adopted by over 150 games, is used by more than 10,000 registered users and is supported on Sony Playstation 3, Microsoft Xbox 360, Nintendo Wii and PC. PhysX™ technology will take gaming to a whole new level.

Already we can see the Super OverClock effects here, the reference core clock for GTX580s is 772mhz, the GTX580 SOC is 10% higher. That’s a good start! Memory clocks are higher as well.
Now lets see some pictures and talk about the differences between a normal reference card and this GTX580 SOC!
