Today Nvidia has released its much anticipated flagship card, the GTX 590. This video card consists of 2 GPU's on one PCB and can drive a 3 monitor setup in 3D surround by itself. Nvidia touts this as the most powerful DX11 graphics card ever built.

Oh noes, the lastest one?

Now that's funny. Fixing; thanks guys.

The link is also messed up, the link has "lastest" instead of "latest"

Aaaand fixed. Thank you; again. What would we do without you guys?

Artas1984 · 03-26-11, 05:06 PM

A well, once again "the most powerful" video card is released, just another day in the office.
This will just continue on and on.

JonSimonzi · 03-26-11, 05:13 PM

I'm behind the loop. Is this the equivalent of GTX580 SLI?

It is stated to be 1,5 times faster than GTX580, which means it can be as good as SLI GTX580, since SLI does not mean 100 % performance boost.

EarthDog · 03-26-11, 05:47 PM

580 SLI beats it out across the board.

Bobnova · 03-26-11, 05:50 PM

HD6990 beats it if both are at stock clocks, too.

JonSimonzi · 03-26-11, 06:12 PM

Am I just thinking about it wrong? Last time I paid attention to multi-gpu cards, it was pretty much 2 cores from a current card jammed into one package

9800GX2 = 2x 8800GTS (G92)
4870X2 = 2x 4870's
etc...

So I assume then that these new era of multi GPU cards use chips specifically designed for them? So you can't make the correlation that GTX590 = 2x GTX580/GTX570/GTX560/whatever?

EarthDog · 03-26-11, 06:13 PM

Its 2 580's with lower clocks.

GTX 295 was a hybrid of 285 and 275 iirc...

Crazy_Catz · 03-26-11, 09:55 PM

Looks cool, but as soon as I buy it, the new one will be out a week later :P.

The 295 was like 2x 280s with the memory and interface from the 260, 275's didnt come until a year or more later.

EarthDog · 03-27-11, 09:41 AM

Ahh, yes... thanks. I knew it was a hybrid.

freeagent · 03-27-11, 09:55 AM

To put things into perspective to see how far along hardware has come in the last couple of years, the 295 was top dog for along time, it traded blows with the "other guys" in a few games, but whatever. Flashback to today, the 295 is almost as strong as a 570, and if the 590 is like 2x 570s, that makes the 295 1/3 as strong as the 590, thats pretty redickerous

I hate being terrible with math

So instead, I guesstimate!

TheQuadFather · 03-27-11, 02:42 PM

to you guys above debating the power, i find the number of shader cores in Nvidia cards makes a good enough guesstimate on there relative performance, just how my gts 450 ( 192 sp ) is roughly the same as a 260 gtx ( 192/216 sp )

False Christian · 03-27-11, 03:26 PM

The GTX 590 is clocked to low to be any competition for 2xGTX 580's or the champ: the Radeon HD 6990.

Audioaficionado · 03-27-11, 03:35 PM

Well if you only have one full 16x bandwidth 16x slot, this might come in handy.

We here at OC Forums shouldn't be complaining about under clocked cards. We all know what we have to do about about these kind of issues
