GTX 590 reviews

[XRL8]

A)The "best of the best" for gaming are screens that work @ 2560...? Isn't 2560 a resolution where the majority of screens are IPS? IPS and gaming? Sure...

B)As I said, you have no hard data to back that statement.

C)Again, show me a study or a statistic and then we'll talk. In the meanwhile you're just (wrongly) assuming that everyone who spends money on dual GPUs is a connaisseur.

D)So why did they test it @ four resolutions? If the lower resolutions aren't relevant, why do it at all? And if they did it, why ignore those results? ...

F)Mate, you've got some serious comprehension issues. The "all round" performance result chart gives the GTX590 a 4% lead over the 6990. Stop trying to spin that, it's a fact.

G)S-c-e-n-a-r-i-o. Cause it was one resolution only.

H)It blew up highly overvolted and with voltages way above the limits recommended by Asus.

I)Stop making stuff up...

Sure... He can (and he did) toss all the results up in the sky and give it the mark he wishers (and the, very subtle, EPIC FAIL anagram).

J)The card blew up on him during testing @ stock? No. The card blew up on him while OCing? No. The card blew up on him while overvolting the out of it to run... stock clocks. That's a really interesting test.

1- 11% advantage @ 1024x768, 7% advantage @ 1280x1024, 3% advantage @ 1680x1050, and same performance @ 1920x1200. But hey the 6990 got a 3% advantage @ 2560x1600, so it clearly deserves 2.1 more points.

2- If the GTX590 is loud imagine the 6990, but I'm sure that's a plus for the 6990.

3- Overclocks higher is certainly a con, right? No comments.

Good luck picking a red t-shirt among other t-shirts of other colors. It would be quite the feat for you.

A) Uhm, IPS gaming screens are in many areas better than TN.TN has only one advantage, thats response time.And yes, people who do like to watch quality screen go IPS or VA.Games arent only unreal tournament ones you know.Good IPS screen has good response time with much better picture quality.So ,yes, IPS is for gaming too.And most importantly people who can afford these cards really like quality.And even if you go for TN, its 1920x1080.

B)Well, i have logic.As it does not apply to you, i can just fireback, you dont have any data to back up your statement too.So thats a draw mate.

C)You cant say i wrongly assume people who spend 700$ on GFX cards have a taste for the best of the best if you cant "back up" your statement with data too, now dont you ?

D)Because to get all data points needed for comparisons for every card, you have to have unified testing specification for everything from slowest cards to the fastest ones.Moreover having more data you can draw conclusions.Such as, maybe GTX590 is vram starved ?.More data points is ALWAYS better.As to the second part, they didnt ignore the lower resolution scores.They showed you them to make up your mind, didnt they ?However in THEIR assesement they arent relevant.

F) You said "GTX is all round better than 6990" .It isnt.All round means in every scenario.But its faster "on average" not "always".And has its drawbacks.You wont argue that overvolt protection works better on 6990 than 590 ?Or will you :-)

G) Yes it got lower score in one resolution, but its kinda implied that in multi monitor setting it would get worse score also...

H) According to nvidia these cards feature protection from such things.And they doesnt work properly.So thats not a plus.

I)Maybe you should show whole quote from him
From tpus review:

Price-wise both HD 6990 and GTX 590 are tied around $700 which is a lot of money to spend on a graphics card. My recommendation would be to go with a single GPU GTX 580 and wait what the future brings in terms of games - most games are console ports, Crysis 2 is DX9. Developers! The PC needs more love from you.

Yes, clearly AMD paid him off.Thats why he doesnt recommend neither card.And recommends 580.

Im gonna stop here cause its pointless.Score isnt based on median of the results, but what reviewer gets after digesting them all.Get over it.
