Well it isnt a good thing. It means CPUs are badly underutilized. We should be aiming for 60 FPS @ 800x600 with three or four CPU cores maxed out. At that point our CPUs will be properly utilized. Then we can just bump up resolution from there depending on the graphics card.Originally Posted by Mad Pistol
A hypothetical situation -
Intel buys the unlimited detail technology. After a bit more R&D combining this new tech with their current efforts with dabbling in graphics card design and manufacturing, Intel bring their 'graphics card' to the market bringing forth CPU tech to the GCard sector rather than vice versa in combination with the massive benefits of Unlimited Detail.
Is it me or would something like this pwn the market?
Lastest news:
Asus GTX590, European prices
799 EUR
Starting to sell tomorrow!
Confirmed by the owner of the store i use to buy stuff to...
Wayyyyy to expensive .... 6990 will own this ... 200 Euros difference is way too much of a difference...
Oh...your ass is grass and I've got the weed-whacker.
John Carmack has already touched on the ability to handle unlimited geometry and has stated that their next engine will revolve around this after idtech 5. No point in buyin this one out considering John already began work on said engine and when combined with the insane texturing ability of idtech 5 it'll easily blow the "unlimited detail" engine out of the water anyway...
make sure that's not a single pcb GTX295 design ... it was very similar
Oh...your ass is grass and I've got the weed-whacker.
Im pretty sure its not because of the Fan-sink plate on the PCB.

This is on multi player http://hardforum.com/showthread.php?t=1592732http://www.guru3d.com/article/core-i...600k-review/21 plus this: http://www.overclock.net/intel-gener...4-955-3-a.html
Sorry to say, but that statement is false. The framerate is virtually identical. At that level, you're GPU limited. Even with an HD 6990 or GTX 590, you're still going to have some limitations. There's no doubt that an i7 2600k is faster than a Phenom II X4 @ 4Ghz or a similar Core 2 Quad, but when you're arguing that a faster CPU will benefit the gaming experience, in this case, I just don't see how that can be possible. I mean, even when the CPU is the limitation at 1024x768, BC2 is still chucking out 90+ FPS on a Phenom II quad core. As soon as you move up one more level to 1280x1024 or 1600x900, the CPU is no longer an issue. Would anyone here seriously consider that a bad thing?
Those tests were done with a GTX 580, too. No way that thing could be considered a bottleneck.
Time to upgrade your cpu? Not saying either of your links is incorrect although the first one is a canned benchmark. The multi player is more cpu intensive.
You be the judge.

surry but this is a 295 single pcb...
http://www.guru3d.com/article/geforc...e-pcb-review/5
Agreed, everything looks alike - the cutout of the heatsink fins to make room for a side power supply, the three screw spots, the back plate not covering the middle of the card....
The linked site even mentionons it's a GTX295 in the middle frame! Scam attempt or weak trolling?
Ok, now I give you the reason
I hope that GTX 590 is much better than HD6990. Otherwise, it doesn't make sense buying the GTX 590
Here's the *real* GTX 590 compared to a HD6990
Very small
will it launch tomorrow or thursday?
Well, I just saw an GTX 590 with a price of 825 in other European shop... Really expensive for a vga
Well nVidia will win points with people who value aesthetics.
I must say im impressed with engineering on this one.
It has 2 much bigger,potentially more power hungry chips which use wider bus.And they were able to cramp it to much smaller space.
Way to go Nv!
that game looks worse and worse all the time. it's really to bad to be honest... so much hope and potential lost...
but to the card. I'm liking the look of it so far. I also am loving the whole fact that it is WAY smaller then a 6990... to be honest I have no idea how they pulled that off considering a GTX 580 is not a small card. also it just looks a whole lot better. the real test however will be overclocking. If it can hit 800mhz it will be a real winner...

Size is perfect for my tiny case, looks like it have the same length of a GTX 580. Is the price confirmed (799€)?
ho ho nice size ...
( im just a bit worry of the trace... all pieces around the 2 cores should be really close of them... we can see the 2 vapor chambers ( copper ) the only space between is the fan size.. )

Wow. And I thought a Q9650 was more powerful than that. My PII 965 achieves 20-30% higher framerate in the same areas (granted it's overclocked), and at that framerate, I see no reason to upgrade to anything higher.
The Sandy Bridge CPU's are very nice, no doubt about it. Lets see if a GTX 590 can put it to work.

That card is going to be so ridiculously hot temperature wise :/

Any review !
Like an HD6990...
