GTX 590 reviews

[bamtan2]

I just think in hindsight nVidia chose a cost effective VRM solution as opposed to a high quality and rather expensive one.

Would it have also been easier for nVidia to have put 2 570's on one GPU as opposed to 2 580's?

Even 2 2GB 560's clocked well would be a very good dual GPU solution.

1. gtx 590 pulls like 450 watts under load. 2x more than normal cards. even more than 6990, which is already more than any card ever. overclocked and not exploding it pulls more than 500 watts. the stock gtx 590 is unprecedented. still think nvidia didn't choose a high quality solution?

2. 2x 570 would be even less power efficient than the gtx 590 is now, meaning it would be even worse.

3. 2x 560, even if more efficient and higher clocked, would still be worse than gtx 590.
