Geforce gtx 580 vs gtx 1050 in current games
Table of contents:
GeForce GTX 580 was the most powerful graphics card based on Nvidia's Fermi architecture, at least without considering solutions with more than one graphics core on the same PCB. This card arrived on the market seven years ago, so it is necessary to see how it has aged and if it is capable of maintaining the type today. The Benchmark guys have compared it to the GeForce GTX 1050, a card of a much lower range, but much newer.
GeForce GTX 580 vs GTX 1050, so Fermi has aged
The GeForce GTX 580 arrived in early 2011 as the spearhead of the second-generation Fermi architecture, built with a 40nm process and to battle with the Radeon HD 6970 and its Cayman core. The GeForce GTX 580 is based on a GF110 chip with 512 shaders, 64 TMUs, 48 ROPs, which is accompanied by 1.5 GB of 4 GHz GDDR5 memory with a 384 bus.

Nvidia made versions with 3 GB of memory, which must have aged much better, although it is almost impossible to find them on the second-hand market. These specs don't differ much in cold numbers from the GeForce GTX 1050, which is based on a GP107 core with 640 shaders, 40 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 2GB of 7GHz GDDR5 memory with a 128-bit bus.
The Pascal architecture of the GeForce GTX 1050 is much more efficient in taking advantage of the characteristics of a chip, in addition to the operating frequencies if they are very different, since the GeForce GTX 1050 can touch 2 GHz while the GTX 580 barely reaches 772 MHz in its reference model.

The tests are clear, the GeForce GTX 1050 is much more powerful than its rival of several generations ago, with a difference that can be from quite small to twice or even more in some cases. Where the GeForce GTX 1050 wins by a landslide is in energy efficiency, as it barely consumes 75W compared to its rival's 244W.
Despite this, the GeForce GTX 580 shows that it is still possible to play with it, as long as you are not very demanding.
