I just can't see this card costing "only" 700USD! In Europe it's at 799 - 826 Euros ... So at least, it must cost the same in USD ... at least! ...

I think 6990 will pull the first place in this segment ... not talking about real world performance, but the best price balanced card ... These cards have an 150-200 Euros price difference ... so, it's like the 570 to the 580 ... so ... by just looking at the price, they should be in different leagues ... but no ... they are both "fighting" for the niche market of dual gpu single pcb cards ...
Wow, that Gigabyte card is sold in a toolbox! That's the normal, non-OC ARES type of model? Along with the mouse, I guess that confirms low supply of those cards.
Here is how GTX 590 should look to beat HD 6990:

Yeah cause we really care that it gets 225 fps when the other guy only gets 200. Pick better games people.
The box and bundle of the Gigabyte model confirms that this will be like a special limited edition card. Not many cards in the market, high price, and poor performance/cost ratio.
Nice fake on thoses benchmark a single GTX580 beat the 6990 in Vantage ? ( and beat the 880mhz ) right .. P25757K for the 6990 ... lol ... I hope it's official benchmark ans Jen will make some comment on the floor for it .... ( like this we will get 3years of video parody to made for this ) ( they have use a Pentium II and PhysX on ? )
lol .. if seriously this is the presentation of Nvidia , im really affraid
As many people guessed, the GTX 590 is slower than the 6990 because of the lower clock speed but I wonder how did Gigabyte make theirs go faster, if that benchmark is legit.
The real joke is world in conflinct results where their sli doesn't work, probably neither crossfire works, but since they are ahead of the competition -even by a couple fps-, they decided to show it.
Those 3dmark11 scores of the 6990 doesnt seem correct to me :/
Thats nice i wonder if the tool box is usable for something even just to hold fishing lures or odds & ends
thats a great deal if it had a 100pc tool set inside too.
Maybe asus will have a fire extinguisher or 2 ton car jack? :D
Best bet for todays games they could put a xbox 360 inside :rofl:
Im not surprised it is faster at 1920x1200 but it will lose at 2650x1600 and in Triple monitor setup.
When both cards will be O/C it will be a different story and the one im looking forward to see.
If these Numbers are correct ...... GTX 590 Mission completed :D
I am unimpressed that Gigabyte is only showing 1900x1200 resolution. Nobody is buying this card to run at that res.
I am baffled that Nvidia is promoting the 590 like this: http://twitter.com/NVIDIAGeForce/sta...80424151998464
It is a stretch to call the dual chip board a "next generation GPU". It is a stretch to say they've been working on it for years. Unless they've got some magical news, it doesn't make sense.
