impressive
it will take elite skill to make 590 faster and quieter than 6990. especially when it is already smaller.

it's a dual gpu card...they all are hot
Any info on which memory chips they're using on GTX 590?
Guys really smaller = equals faster = silent :rofl: :ROTF: I myself do not buy that review. All I am going to say is this new GTX590 will have to beat there own 2 x GTX570 in SLI to sell period. Why would anyone pay $800 to get something less, and it will not beat 2 x GTX 580 in SLI because then no one would buy $1000 in cards to get less in performance when you can get it for $800.00 in one card. I see many review on highend video cards at low low low resolutions and say they suck. Why don't we wait tell some reviews come out and then we decide instead of calling the GTX590 a winner because of it's small size.. :shakes:
Its HD 3800X2 <> 9800GX2 and GTX 295 <> 4870X2 all over again:up:
The only difference is price scaling which is double:D
Probly buy both cards and be done with it...
So many spec difference , i guess its all just fake ones. i guess nobody know the real clock of the core. 2 more days and it will all show up. but i wish NV dnt lose on this one
How does it get P33520? A pair of 580's at stock clocks gets that same amount, no way it would get that at 600 mhz.
Now if by any chance its also 700$ this is gonna be a winner. Hopefully its not more than 5% slower than 6990.
it's the complete score, not gpu, so well, estimated perf, or just PhysX on or with a I7 980x ... all depend what is used or even if they have test really the card or not. without saying the clock speed change again there, 607-612-613 .... we should put some bet at this points on it.

The Asus card is just their normal "OC" of ~5-10 Mhz.
The Gigabyte box seems nice, but who really wants a bundled mouse? Usually people already have a mouse they're happy with.
Especially someone buying a 700 dollar graphics card. The best thing they could pack into these special editions is a damn water block. Considering these special editions have often a 100 dollar mark up, they could definitely squeeze one in.
I remember the most useful bundle ever came from foxxconn bloodrage x58 board. It was only 50-75 dollars more expensive, it came with a soundcard, a waterblock, a ln2 pot, and a passive heatsink with a fan.
What's with these stupid bundles for such expensive cards such as stupid metal cases, tool boxes, gun shaped cases. The gun shaped case is the most ridiculous since the bundle costed the most and it has zero usefulness. In addition, the gun case really looks silly and cheap.
I actually was one of the outspoken people about CPU 775 to current made no difference in games. I've seen enough testimony from quite a few BF BC2 players that upgraded to the SB to make me go out and buy one pretty soon. Just read through the thread. Even if it isn't the double that his test results showed its definitely noticeable real world improvement for quite a few people. Another game to test out is Civ V. So despite some of the things he did like the dual monitor its enough for me. The bottom line: 775 quads are severely bottlenecking current systems still stands in games like BF BC2 and soon BF 3.

here's the vapor chamber of the 580 ... if i see the photos of the 590, it look like both have been extremely reduced. let's hope the card can overclock enough.
this confirm 24th..
yep yepQuote:

Small is nice and all but I wouldnt mind if it was a tad bigger and used beefier heatsinks . But anyhow pretty amazing they packed 2 x 580's in that , if they did some voodoo with it and the scaling is insane ..... well lets see the clocks are pretty sad.
Does anyone know if you can have two of these beasts in SLi?
EDIT: nvm, I just saw the SLi connector on the top.
