Power Consumption

The GTX 580 consumes less power when running heavy-stress applications such as FurMark compared to when it runs other graphics softwares like the Unigine Heaven 2.1. This is because NVIDIA implemented a new power-monitoring feature to prevent the power consumption from going beyond rated specification when the graphics card is put under constant stress.
