NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 Is World's Fastest Graphics Card

NVIDIA today introduced the GeForce GTX 590, the fastest dual graphics card available today which also happens to be the world's quietest too. Powered by dual NVIDIA Fermi-class GPUs on a single card, the GTX 590 is designed for über enthusiasts and those looking to build the ultimate PC gaming rig.

With a combined 1024 NVIDIA CUDA architecture cores, 3GB of GDDR5 memory, 6 billion transistors and over 2200 individual components all packed into an 11 inch dual slot card, the GTX 590 delivers a staggering 32 tessellation engines that can power today's cutting edge DX11 games at resolutions of 2560x1600 and higher. With four separate video outputs on each card, consumers can configure their PC with four independent displays, or they can span their gaming across 3 3D displays, at a resolution up to 5760x1080 for an intense, immersive, stereoscopic gaming experience utilizing NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround technology.
Like all NVIDIA "DX11 Done Right" GPUs, the GTX 590 delivers the world's fastest performance for DX11 games(i). And with NVIDIA SLI technology, the industry's most scalable multi-GPU platform, gamers can increase their PC's gaming performance by adding a second GeForce GTX 590, for an incredible Quad SLI gaming mode.

NVIDIA engineered the GTX 590 to be the world's quietest dual GPU product. It features a special cooling system and dual vapor chambers which deliver both astounding performance and acoustics. Measured with a standard decibel meter, the GTX 590 clocks in at 48dB, more than two times quieter than the closest competitive product under full graphics load. To the human ear, this difference means the GTX 590 delivers a 3D gaming experience that is typical of a quiet library. In comparison, the competition's product is more on par with a busy freeway.

"The GTX 590 is the best dual GPU product ever built," said Drew Henry, general manager of GeForce GPU business at NVIDIA. "With leading performance, support for multi-monitor 3D gaming, Quad SLI, and an acoustic envelope that begs to be heard for how quiet it is, the GTX 590 epitomizes what a perfect dual graphics card looks, performs, and sounds like."

With an estimated selling e-tail price starting at $699 USD, the GeForce GTX 590 is available starting today from the world's leading add-in card partners, including Asus, EVGA, Gainward, Gigabyte, Inno3D, MSI, POV, Palit, and Zotac.

There is a crysis 2 video at something 2000 resolution ( not 2000, but i forget what it was ) x something in hardcore mode and despite the core clock at 600, well that does not mean anything because the framerate was at 45-60 all the time and that is with vsync enable. So i am sure nvidia knew what they were doing when they put the core at 600, because the other stuff makes up for it.. If you can get 60 frames pretty much all the time at that resolution , well the card does not suck and it may be the fastest card around, but IMO that does not matter.

If you have a video card and can play games at decent framerates at max or near max, whats the problem?

nvidia should just recall this card and beaf up on VRMs and circuitry if they want the card to survive. Unless as mentioned above that its only asus cards then thats asus problem. I wonder what MSI will do with a non reference 590. that could be pretty interesting

erockerWow! Looked like the spark jumped from around the PCI-E connector to the motherboard!
1 card is completely a reprisentitive of all cards .. . . right .. . I mean the 4870 X2 was perfect also ? At least it's not the drivers that sucked in this case?





Seems AMD trolls :cry: are bitter about their PPD ?:D:twitch:

I must question. WHat does making up specs achieve? I dont see how anyone can profit from it apart from website traffic.

Sigh.....
It's not a design flaw if it only happens when you overclock it.

But there has been cases that NON overclocked GTX590's died also, so yes there is a flaw in these cards.

I think both the 6990 and the 590 should be retested in about 3-4months time with better drivers etc, this then will tell us who is king of the hill??

Now waiting for the AMD videos to come out like when the GTX480's were released :laugh:

I so agree with that both cards should be retested in 3-4 months
I think what happened here was Nvidia saw AMD's release and didn't want to come out 3 months later with a 1-3% overall better card so they took some Ex-lax and tried for a smooth move but in the end they still ended up with shit.
