End of month, Where's NForce 5?

[captainjy]

Just wondering if anyone has heard anything regarding the Nvidia 590 SLI boards? It's been over a month now since the Conroe hit and it's been very quiet on this front.

same here man, waiting for the 590s

 

[R3MF]

me too.

will the Intel 590SLI still be using old chipsets unlike its AMD counterpart?

 

[happy medium]

still nothing?

well the asus based 570 is available on sept 4th at new egg.

But, to me, it is sounding more like those rumours for the delay on the cor 2 duo dell xps systems has everything to so with the nvidia 590 chipset and less about conroe or cooling issues.

There they were estimating middle of october before ship.


so..590..a month away?

don't want SLI and the other bells and whistles of the 570 are a waste of money

A waste in your opinion.

Kinda like your post.

stuff like the network teaming has been on HP servers for years now. it's OK and useful only if all your machines support it, they are fast enough to handle the data and you have good network equipment to handle the bandwidth. For my PC at home to play games on and learn SQL it's a waste since my SDSL tops out at 1500 both ways and even if I go to FIOS when it comes to my area one gig-e port is still overkill.

Anandtech said they didn't see any improvement with LinkBoost. Other TCP/IP features are questionable since there is so much stuff between you and other online players. I'll see what others are saying before I think about upgrading to the next level.

If you want SLI, get it. But I wouldn't buy anything above a 550 for the other features.

I think the speed race topped out for now in terms of CPU speed and when AM2 is near the end of life or games start to really support multi-threading I'll get a dual core CPU. For now I bought a 3200. And I'll replace the ATI 1600XT I bought with something new when the whole physics accelerator thing gets straightened out and some clear standards emerge.
