EXPreview: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 To Roll Out On March 22nd

[badb0y]

I'd give up all three of those requirements as long as they were not fat. Well, okay, and not super short.

All I know is the transition from college to the "real world" was depressing for the above reason. College = tall, attractive or at least perhaps somewhat attractive women with the vibrancy of youth all over and who gave a shit about themselves. And even if they were short, they usually have other redeeming qualities.

Work = short, fat, and ugly women who are annoying and do not give a shit about themselves anymore. They often like to talk about their own children, who are probably also short, fat and ugly.


Wait, we were talking about video cards right, sort of got side tracked there. I dont remember the point of this thread anymore, but recall seeing Happy posting a bunch, so he is either attempting to take credit for something he predicted or arguing why something he said that was wrong was actually right, but its not clear whether that is the case here. I expect the obligatory post comparing his past posts to present and pointing out which of the above is true for him this time, and the required response and bickering, with a few people trying to stay on topic but giving up, and when we hit page 20, this thread will slowly crawl into the darkness and mercifully die like it should have within the first two pages...

LOL

Mate, reading this post and then looking at your sig, if you can't get good looking women where you are... MOVE. If a lawyer can't find hot women in Missouri, then that's a sad state of affairs for them. Or are you really really nerdy and pimply or something? If so, have you tried buying a hot car? Women are just as shallow as men. We like big boobs, they like hot cars. No difference, really.

P.S. Like your critique of this thread without, apparently, even reading it.

Here is a better picture of the EVGA gtx590. It has a nice 3 fan cooler.

2x GTX580s are prime candidates for 2560x1600 or more. The problem is GF100/110 architecture is severely handicapped in both RAM (only 1.5GB/GPU) and texture fill-rate departments compared to AMD. As a result, the 15-20% advantage that a single GTX580 has over a single HD6970 at 1920x1200 8AA is all but eroded to a measly 5% by the time you get to 2560x1600 8AA. Therefore, even if GTX590 ships with 2 full fledged GTX580 cores, it will still fall flat on its face compared to 2 unlocked HD6950s which only cost $520. Unless these cards have incredible overclocking headroom, what is the point exactly?

This round of dual-GPUs is just a marketing exercise / profit margin milking and nothing more.

Is it possible they have fixed their memory controller for this card, otherwise I fear you are correct!

 

[Synomenon]

Is this NVIDIA model going to be able to drive more than two monitors with a single card?

Have to be a fail if it doesnt IMO....As to price, unlike AMD, NV has always put a price premium on their flagship card hence the 580 expensive price. AMD gets it sales from cost conscience gamers, where NV banks on must have the best gamers, and the fact they come with extra functionality.
My guess is the 580 will drop to low $400's and the 590 will be around $799. Its got to be cheaper to built 1 dual board than 2 single board when you consider the extra board and components, warranty and packaging and labour build!
My 2 cents

 

[DarkKnightDude]

Around 800 bucks?

We can keep guessing all day?

 

[Skurge]

I think I know why they waited for the 22nd.
It's gonna be sold with a free copy of Crysis 2, I bet!
Crysis 2 is released on the 22nd.

They didn't give Cryteck 2 million for nothing.

If you plan on buying this card , cancel your pre ordered Crysis 2.

I wonder if you can sli a gtx590 with a 580?
I guess you could?

I don't think it will come with a free copy of crysis 2 (crappy looking game anyway.)

The 6990 came out the same day as dragon age 2, all they did was tell reviewers to include the game. Nvidia probably has some advantage in crysis 2 and will do the same.

I'm wondering if that's a 590. I found this video which talks about 2x1GB memory:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Vf_7XpJEeOM&feature=player_embedded

EVGA rep also says it's "not an nVidia product, it's an EVGA product." Dual 560's?

In any case, I love the design. Love the bars over the fans. Shroud looks very sturdy. Looks like the EVGA side logo may light up.

 

[toyota]

yes I believe that card is an EVGA custom dual gtx560.

I never heard of a dual gtx560? :hmm:

Na I got that picture off a tweeter account I think?
It's a gtx590.

Watch the video, the card above it on the table is the gtx560 dual card.

um so are you saying the guy from EVGA doesn't know what he is talking about? that is their custom card because they could not be showing a gtx590 anyway at that time.

Really the video had sound? sorry I didnt have my headphones on.

I guess thats good news, a dual gtx 560 cool.:thumbsup:
That may be my last and final upgrade.

 

[tincart]

Could someone explain how exactly this is official confirmation?

I see a forum post on overclock.net pointing to a post on expreview and another forum post on overclock.net which quotes unofficial correspondence from an unnamed rep for an unknown company who apparently never learned to write in English.

Does any of this info appear on nVidia's website. Have any named employees, specifically identifying themselves as representing nVidia, released this information?

 

[PingviN]

The card popped up on a swedish e-tailer yesterday, priced att 7400sek (€820 or $1150). Do note that we have 25% VAT on technology, so that should put it at around $850 in the states.

If the displayed price was correct, that is.

It's official because happy medium said "I told you so" in the first reply to the thread.
He also told us that the GTX590 would come on the 23rd Feb/29th Feb/before PAX (which starts tomorrow). He knows his stuff.

 

[OILFIELDTRASH]

Am I the only one that would rather see a company like Evga or Asus bin gtx 580's for the cream of the crop overclockers, put some extra heavy duty vrm's and whatever else electronic junk, overvolt and overclock the cards to 1000+ MHz on the core, extreme air cooler, and charge a premium for them? I'd much rather pay a premium on that card over a dual gpu card that's been neutered.

I was thinking the same thing (and this would be the second time recently Baasha has jumped the gun with a thread title ) but everyone else seems to be just running with it so I assumed I'm missing something. To me confirmation would come as an official statement from Nvidia or its board partners.

So yeah, this seems like a (yet another plausible-sounding) rumor. I wouldn't post anything as CONFIRMED so long as the source uses poor English and has a bunch of Xs in place of actual names, but that's just me:

It's not, which is why the thread-title needs to be changed such that it is not communicating potentially misleading information.

While it's a nice fantasy, it's not realistic.

Most 580s cannot hit 1000 on the core. While it is plausible they could cherry pick cores and engineer a single card to supply the voltage and cooling to manage to have two 580 cores at 1000 on a single card, it's unlikely.

Unless you expect them to sell these at $1000+

There is a lot of Santa wish list type talk in this thread. I'd love to see some sort of insano monster card as well. It's not going to happen.

Still all rumors, and currently the best rumormonger has this card as having two 570 cores not 580 cores.

Still trying to get my head around why there is a belief GTX 580 SLI on a card is coming out for $800 forcing $100 price cuts on a high margin part. Unless people feel the 580 is not selling and needs a price cut ?

Too much fantasy in the thread, too much 'I have inside info' rubbish in the thread which is basically 'I have fantasies in my head of a monster card squeeeeeeeeeeeel!'

lol

I was talking about single gpu's being binned. I have no use for dual gpu cards. From what I've read I think I got a pretty good gtx 580. I'm at a 100% solid stable 902mhz at 1.1v. I don't feel comfortable going any higher on the voltage to see what this beast will really do.

Lol at the fanboys. I'm sure a few of em have wet themselves imagining a dual GTX 580.

AMD somehow changed the game by getting quad scaling to work so well, so for them 2x6990 is as fast as it gets.

Unless nvidia was preparing to do the same, considering you can only use identical cards in SLI. Tri-sli 580s will still be where it's at.
