[VR-Zone] NVidia GTX-590 *FINAL* Specs Revealed!

[Baasha]

Well, here are the final specs of the NVidia GTX-590 according to VR-Zone:

Cliff's Notes:

Codename D13U-50 GF110/P1020
CUDA Cores 1024
Graphics Clock 612MHz
Processor Clock 1224MHz
Memory Clock 3420MHz
Memory Interface Width 2 x 384-bit
Memory Config 3GB GDDR5
Power Connectors Dual 8-pin
Dimensions 11" x 4.5", Dual Slot

I'm disappointed honestly. The clocks are so low! We will have to wait to see the reviews on this card and how it compares to the AMD 6990.

I bet they had to down clock it due to power consumption. My guess it will be few percent faster than 6990, but you will need a water cooled system to push it to the max.

That's with marginally lower clocks (2% give or take).
So it will almost certainly be slower if those are the real clocks.

 

[tviceman]

Well, I was wrong. It looks like Nvidia isn't going to break the 375w TDP barrier, and therefore they'll more than likely have a slower x2 card.

It appears that the performance/watt ratio caught up to them with the GF100, and they could not improve it enough to make it to beat out Antilles at the same TDP. Not that Antilles is a great card in itself, but it's enough to show AMD has more flexibility with their architecture.

Not at stock it wont.

 

[Hauk]

Eeh, low clocks indeed. Decent temps & noise as with 580? Could be me thinks. Curious to see how it OC's and how power consumption/noise/heat are impacted.

 

[Grooveriding]

Nvidia is going to throw a foot stomping fit to have reviewers do their reviews with the card overclocked if these specs are correct.

Most likely AIBs are going to have factory overclocked cards at release and nv is going to try to send those cards to reviewers.

I agree with the bolded part.

They would've had a hard time beating a card that uses less power than 2 570, but is almost as fast.

In their spec, what is the difference between "graphix clock" and "processor clock"?

 

[Lonyo]

In their spec, what is the difference between "graphix clock" and "processor clock"?

Graphics clock = overall GPU clock which is most non-shader parts of the GPU I believe.
Processor clock = shader clock (the bits that do most of the work).

Imagine it like Intel's core vs uncore.
Shader (processor) clock is nowadays always twice GPU (graphics) clock.

Nvidia coined the term 'gpu' graphics processing unit. They like to use the word

that seemed about right for the power consumption.

Honestly, I always had a suspicion that it would be a dual 560 Ti card because that would be much cheaper to build than putting two downclocked GTX 580 chips, but dual underclocked GTX 580 cores does make sense. They had to find a way to get this thing to not consume 500W, so this is logical.

ATI's "small die" strategy excels for dual GPU configurations.

In the end what would be better? One 590 or a 580 SC? I heard that the 590 will be extremely limited, so it'll be difficult to get a hold of two for SLI, however if I buy a 580 now, I can SLI it in a couple of months. I'm looking for the best performance overall, if the 590 will be made available to for months to come, than I may just SLI that. Any Suggestions?

No, they aren't.

I'd rather see a review of a card that I can buy with a warranty, then a review of card in a state where it loses its warranty...

 

[palladium]

Wow, that's a massive underclock there, much more pronounced than the 6990. Wonder if it can even keep up with 570 SLI.

Buy XFX.

 

[Castiel]

Buy XFX.

XFX is garbage

 

[3DVagabond]

XFX is garbage

In your opinion. Which is irrelevant to the post about the warranty.

Go over to Overclock and do a search about XFX's warranty refusal's then you'll see why i stated what i did

Whatever! Let's get on topic.

Are we still on for the 22nd for release? Is that confirmed?

 

[Will Robinson]

XFX is garbage, unless I own one...

Fixt that for you....:sneaky:

Seriously....My last 3 XFX graphics cards have worked perfectly.
Lighten up a little

I've never owned one. I'm basing my opinion off other people's experiences with warranty refusals

 

[Madcatatlas]

They ditched Nvidia, or the other way around, which in itself can provide room for loads of "other peoples opinions and experiances", i wouldnt set myself up for target practice that easily Castiel

Regarding the topic: Clocks have a habit of changing at the last moment. Nvidia knows the target numbers they have to beat and im pretty confident they will be pretty close to the better Crossfire scaling Radeons with this halo card.

We might also be in the situation where we have 2 equal "halo" products, which must be a first in the GPU market ever.
