Don't you mean 590T?

There is both the DN580T mentioned and the DN570T mentioned. They have
2D 8 bit accelerated graphics not what you are looking for.

Oh, duh.
They list the 590T first, then the 580T and 570T. I simply assumed
they would list in ascending order :)

OK, looking deeper the 580T *can* have 3D graphics acceleration,
