It should be mentioned when we get there whether all of those series cards feature active or passive cooling; in other words, if any of the then-mentioned cards rely on fanning as the main-employed heat-reduction technique. Twipley (talk) 19:55, 5 January 2011 (UTC)[reply]

OpenCL 1.1 Support

According the the Khronos Group ([1]), every CUDA GPU is OpenCL 1.1 compliant. This includes the GeForce 500 series. NVIDIA's certified OpenCL 1.1 drivers were released in June 2010 ([2]). Would someone mind reverting the recent edit by 77.21.72.88 and inserting the appropriate citations? Thanks 128.112.139.195 (talk) 23:00, 13 April 2011 (UTC)[reply]

GTX 560 SE

Please add it. It's a 192-bit derivative introduced not so long ago. http://hexus.net/tech/news/graphics/36585-zotac-rolls-geforce-gtx-560-se-card/ — Preceding unsigned comment added by 86.104.57.242 (talk) 05:02, 23 April 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Pixel fillrate of the Fermi chips.

Fermi does 2 pixels per SM per clock (Kepler does 4). I noticed that the numbers in the table are wrong. I'm new to Wikipedia editing, so I thought I might ask if it's "ok" to change the values in the table?. — Preceding unsigned comment added by Hinnyemánahétszázát (talk • contribs) 23:18, 24 August 2012 (UTC)[reply]

Regarding Direct3D 12.0 support

Please see http://techreport.com/news/26210/directx-12-will-also-add-new-features-for-next-gen-gpus before you state that the GeForce 400, 500, 600, and 700 series fully support Direct3D 12 or DirectX 12. They do not support the full Direct3D 12.0 standard because that standard will support features that were not invented when those GPU series were built. Nvidia's blog was technically true but quite misleading. While those GPUs will run Direct3D 12, they will run that API at a reduced feature level according to the article I cited.

Regarding OpenGL 4.5 support

First, Nvidia never officially stated that OpenGL 4.5 is supported on its latest drivers. Nvidia usually has announced in its driver release notes when a new OpenGL version is supported. Nvidia does provide a beta driver for OpenGL 4.5 for development purposes. Second, running the latest version of Realtech VR's GLview OpenGL Extensions Viewer located at http://www.realtech-vr.com/glview/ shows that the latest driver shows that it exposes OpenGL 4.4 when running on a GeForce GTX 580. Please do not state that this GPU officially supports OpenGL 4.5 until an official WHQL driver exposes OpenGL 4.5. Jesse Viviano (talk) 23:47, 26 October 2014 (UTC)[reply]

Link the Radeon HD 6000 Series as main competitor

The Page for the Radeon HD 6000 Page call the GeForce 500 Series as its main competitor. Shouldn't this page also name the HD6000 Series as its main competitor? This also goes for several other Pages of Graphicscard series. The Radeon pages link the respecting GeForce pages, but not vice versa.
