GTX 590 reviews

[XRL8]

Like the unlucky coincidende of his review showing the GTX590 being faster (all resolutions), cooler, quieter, more OCable (22% vs 10% of the 6990) and consuming less power and still it got a final score of... 7.0, versus the 9.1 of the 6990. Oh, and then he blew the card up with 1.2v and... stock clocks.

I, like God, do not play with dice and do not believe in coincidende.

Um.Average of all resolutions show GTX590 winning.Not in all resolutions.At the resolution that is kind of point for this kind of a card.It loses.And in most popular one ATM ,its a tie.So its not winning in all resolutions, but in 1024x up to 1650x.
Performance per watt ,there is only one card thats worse.GTX 480.HD6990 is better.
It (the GTX 590) consumes more power than the 6990 at both idle ,gaming and peak.In furmark its hard clamped by nvidia so it does whooping 4 watts better.But way nvidia handles this clamp.Its no where near real life scenario.
So again, no.
It is Quieter, still loud.
As for temps, in TPU`s review, there isnt any chart with temperatures.However you do understand i hope that if it draws more power, it has (as an entire card, not just GF110 chips) to exhaust this somehow.More power=More heat.
All of above taken from TPU`s article.
So yes.It IS QUIETER.On the rest, youre wrong.

That would be a very valid point if he had only tested the card at Full HD or more. But he didn't. If you're gonna test something at four resolutions you can't dismiss that in the final results and say "hey, two of the tests don't count".

He tested at four resolutions and the average of those tests showed the GTX590 being 4% ahead of the 6990.

Performance per watt ,there is only one card thats worse.GTX 480.HD6990 is better.

In a dual GPU solution, that costs $700, that is big, hot and power hungry, who really cares about perf. per watt?

It (the GTX 590) consumes more power than the 6990 at both idle ,gaming and peak.In furmark its hard clamped by nvidia so it does whooping 4 watts better.But way nvidia handles this clamp.Its no where near real life scenario.

I'll give you that. Even though i find it very odd that GTX590 Peak power is higher than Maximum power.

It is Quieter, still loud.

It's quieter.

As for temps, in TPU`s review, there isnt any chart with temperatures.

Wrong...

GTX590 @ tPU!


6990 @ tPU!

However you do understand i hope that if it draws more power, it has (as an entire card, not just GF110 chips) to exhaust this somehow.More power=More heat.

You have to have good airflow with both of them.

So yes.It IS QUIETER.On the rest, youre wrong.

Quieter, cooler, more all round performance, higher OC (26% vs 10% of the 6990), same price and... 7.0 score. Go figure.

Lower core temperatures are not everything, you know?

This has been posted so many times already, you must have seen it.

Oh, and your OC figure is wrong. TPU got 775mhz, which is stock clock for a GF110 chip. So that's a 0% overclock. And not a given on all cards. AMD still managed to get a positive here in any case.
