NVIDIA GTX 595 (picture+Details)

[Levesque]

840Mhz? Not bad. Considering an over clocked 6990 doesn't match the performance of stock clocked 580's in SLI in 95% of benchmarks, the GTX590 might turn out to be faster after all.

Since all the reviews you are talking about were done with 11.1 and 11.2 drivers that were out BEFORE the 6990, you are so right.

But 11.4 BETA are turning the table aroung. Look at the slides. Here, 3 of the most demanding games out there, and 6990 and 580 SLi are head-to-head.

Blah blah blah about the limited VRAM on the 580 Nvidia. But Nvidia are selling those POS card 500$, not me. And the 6990+6970 cost also 1000$. It's a real massacre. 580 SLI is totally obliterated.

And this is with BETA 11.4 drivers! So why talk about ''95% of the benchmarks'' with drivers that were out before even the 6990 was out! So relevant! 11.4 are the first drivers to support the 6990. Nah. Pesky little details. So easy to compare with old drivers not supporting the card.

The WEAK point of the 590 is the limited amount of VRAM, not the clock speeds. Look at the slides! Look what not enough VRAM is giving you! The results with the 590 will be the same, or lower then 580 SLI, since it's with lower clock speeds. And the limiting amount of VRAM will the same. 1.5Gb only. Results will be the same with the 590 against 6990.

Please look at those slides. Where do you see 580 SLI ''dominating'' the 6990? I don't see that. Point me to it. Please, analyze those slides, and don't elude the question by posting irrelevant videos. And not some old benchmarks done with 11.1 or 11.2. drivers... There are plenty of those stupid reviews done with drivers that were out before the 6990 was even out on the market. Too easy. But commenting those slides with 11.4 is tougher. And shouting ''troll fanboy FACT FAIL AMD DRIVERS, blah blah blah'' is so much easier and convenient.

The 6990 on OC BIOS is clearly head-to-head with 580 SLI 1.5GB. Please explain the ''domination''. I see 6990+6970 dominating the 580 SLI at the same price point, but not the 6990 OC BIOS versus 580 SLI. And the 590 will also by limited with only 1.5Gb. Same thing. Look at the slide. You can call me troll or fanboy all you want, but the topic is the 590, and that card will be underclock compared to 580 SLI, and also have only 1.5GB like those. So those slides are totally relevant to the topic.

People really beleive the 590 will BEAT 580 SLI? No. Or else Nvidia would sell the 590 1200$. They won't antagonize their 580 SLi market.














And why not post your famous videos of 3X580 1.5GB, but against 3X6970 2GB this time with 11.4 drivers? Where are they? No. Since it would be too logical to do it. And since the 3X580 1.5Gb are VRAM limited, 3X6970 would be better. No. All happy to do 2X6990 against 3X580 1.5gb. But 3X 6970 should also be threre to compare, and with 11.4 (not 11.1) to be relevant.

Or why no videos of 6990+6970 against 580 SLi 1.5Gb?

No. Too easy. 2X6990 against 3X 580, while even my old mother knows that Quad-Fire on 2 cards doesn't scale well, just like Quad-SLI (2X590) will totally loose against 3X 6970 2Gb. SAME THING.

Why not do a more logical video of 2X6990 against 2X590 next week? That,s what I want to see.
