We'll know soon enough, I don't think one site being shorted is enough to remotely quantify a shortage.Quote:

Here is the unboxing of asus gtx 590 which original uploader removed from tube: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bn92O4l4XzQ

Its going to be a paper launch. A very soft paper launch...
Well Anandtech (or TechReport) is not the bastion of neutrality but they're better than HWC's obvious slant toward Nvidia, with each nv card usually getting a roundup of different brands. The only thing you can really get from that is Nv have better stock coolers :shrug:Quote:

Cause it's easier to get all of NVIDIA's partners to send us cards while AMD partners usually drag their feet a bit before sending. So it's very hard to coordinate a AMD GPU roundup. :(Quote:

it just looks sexy! the HD 6990 not so much
Indeed ... but with your words what i understand is that non-reference products from both Asus and EVGA ( and etc :P ) will be launched... i'm not saying tomorrow of course ... :)Quote:

But i must see how the over-volting will impact in the core frequency ...
Yeah and I'd guess you'll be doing most of them. :down:Quote:

Also, from my understanding it will be a hard launch.
why?
I guess it looks like it will be a hard launch... :yepp:Quote:

LOL at title
Just to compare I run the same AvP bench as in the GTX 590 video with my HD 6990Quote:

I really like the idea of this card for GPU computing (# cores really matter). It lets you have 4 GPUs in a 2 slot budget system (LGA 1156).
Can anyone explain how the fan can cool the card when it's not even sitting on a heatsink? It seems like it would suck hot air from one heatsink into the other one.
I'd be willing to bet that throwing a fan on top of each heatsink/vaporchamber would allow overclocks up to stock GTX 580 speeds.
Great find ! Thanks again cold2010 :DQuote:
