Where are all the 590s???!

[PingviN]

Nobody has them in stock and the only places that do are charging 20% over MSRP! WTF!!!

The local Microcenter had two for $799 each and I should have just snapped them up pricegouging be damned! D:

Sweclockers.com got a hold of them just to burn 'em up and videotape to get more views on their youtube channel.

$1400 +?

3 x 580's would be better at that price. A lot better.

No room for three or four cards. Two 590s gives 2048 cuda cores. This is for a folding machine. If we had the room we'd put four 590s in there as BOINC could not care less if they are SLI or not!

There's too much troll in this thread. D:

On a serious note does anyone know if the stock clocks present a problem with 24/7 loading (folding) with 590s?

 

[Minerva]

They have been in stock at Evga.com, just check out their forums.

And the gtx 590 sli pack is in stock right now ,

Thanks!

Keep telling yourself that it's short stocking issues. Why are there only 2 manufacturers on Newegg with 1 model each and they're both out of stock? By now, all manufacturers would be selling them if there wasn't a problem.

nVidia is fixing their mistake and taking them all off the market...that's all there is to it.


rOflLmao

Meanwhile there are rumors of AMD being in mass production with their 7xxx cards.

i had one but just sold it to a fellow AT'er. i used it for a couple hours and was unimpressed and went back to my 6970 CF. i wanted it just for the 3d vision, but gaming on a computer screen in 3d hurt my eyes.

Nvidia stated before launch that only EVGA and Asus would be selling the cards in the US. All other normal NVidia partners are selling the 590 in Europe and elsewhere including point of view, gigabyte etc etc.

I think it would be fine, but you can ask keys, he has a 590. Maybe he is willing fold for a few hours and let you know.

Well yeah if a few hours does it then that's real bad. A week run would probably be assuring. Is EVGA ok to buy from?

Well I guess you could jut buy it and if it something goes wrong, RMA it. I seriously doubt it will though.

 

[krumme]

Didnt NV themselves say that they would make 1000 cards?

I mean if its in that order its in the same volume as prototyping, its hardly testing production.

The card did its purpose. It was reviewed and compared to 6990, and NV can say they have the fastest card ever.

6990 is a faster card, at resolutions people that buy these cards play at.

Also in the most demanding games, where your under 60 fps, where the advantage matters, usually its the 6990 that leads. In games you already have 200+ fps, the 590 is usually ahead.


590 is less noisey, abit hotter and blows more air into case.
6990 more noisey, is less hot, blows more air out back of case.

I've seen them in stock almost every day at EVGA.com.

They arent making very many, and the ones they do make are being bought up instantly. As I predicted, the multiple 590 hate threads on internet forums have not made a difference to nV.

The only 6990 ever sold out is the XFX one @ NE. It seems the supply of 6990s is much larger than the demand.

There are only two NA vendors that carry the 590. MSI was going to be a third but declined because there was no profit to be made on the cards.

The 590 has become every hardcore nvidia fanboy's worst nightmare and guilty pleasure. It dashed their hopes for nvidia to regain the performance crown they haven't had since September 2009, and failed to execute on that. It released to little fanfare among reviewers and turned out to be fragile, to burn out in certain situations and a failure as an enthusiast's overclocking card.

In short, about the only people using 590s are those who got them for free or the die-hard nvidia fanboys you see on the EVGA forums who could give a damn that the 6990 is faster because they'll only buy nvidia benchmarks be damned.

Per newegg.com and ncix.com the 590s have been out of stock for weeks.

If they do start to show up with some availability beyond soft launch status I expect we'll see a PCB revision on the boards and some new reviews to go with the card. Or the 590 will just continue to quietly make a few sales a day and be forgotten as the dud release it turned out to be.

 

[Creig]

As I predicted, the multiple 590 hate threads on internet forums have not made a difference to nV.

So people demonstrating that typical overclocking methodology could result in dead 590's are now considered hate threads?

 

[formulav8]

They blow up faster than they can make them.

Yuk Yuk Yuk :biggrin: Now that is probably the real truth

I'm not sure over-volting is "typical," but I think that debate has been beaten to death in other threads.

It will only be a "dud" to the people who would never buy it anyway, either because they don't like nV, or $700 for a computer part is not in the deck for them financially.

It is basically 2X 580s for around $200 less, and it is close enough to the 6990 that it wouldnt make a difference in gaming no matter which one you bought.

A few percentage points may be a "dud" to you, but I really just don't see the card's target market caring too much. As you said, niether the 590 or the 6990 are profit centers anyway.

wow i feel sorry for NV if some of the suggestions here are real. Hope they can come back with a revised PCB and provide us with a real competition cuz right now 6990Foreman is killing 590Ali

Actually it's two GTX 570 for more money and worse build quality. That's why it's a "dud," let's be honest for once here.

OK, so the people who say something negative about the 590 just doesn't like nvidia? :thumbsdown:

Auto-notify on NewEgg works well; the EVGA 590 was available last night.

The truth hurts, nobody wants a 6990, unless it carries a warranty for a untested bios mode.
More reasons the single card has benefits for Nvidia also, the surround and multi-monitors available.
Price VS gtx 580 1.5gb cards.

590 is a great card. The 6990 is as well. I do think the 590 has a bit more going on for it though this round as far as direct comparisons go. But, that isn't what this thread is about. 590's are selling pretty well considering they are top dollar items.
