GeForce GTX 590 Key Features Revealed

[Omega]

If you worried by the price this card not for you. Any benckmakrs out?

If the performance vs pricing is good. Then it is the right card for me

But look at the 6990... 2x 6950's flashed to 6970 still out performs it. silly comment is silly

Interesting, the Nvidia GTX590 is listed on the techpowerup GPU database.

note the 752 MHz clock speed in contrast to what has been suggested before.
only a few more days then we will know for sure.

I hope it's something like this. The suggested 607 and lower clocks are pretty crap. But they still said at those clocks it will just about match 6990.

If I were in the market for one of these I'd rather they add at least a third power connector and have it running at proper GTX 580 SLI speeds than if cripple it.

the absolute top end cards just dont make sense with crossfire atm

A very good point considering you can get 2x 6850's for about £270/£280 which out paces mores single expensive solutions like the HD6970 for the same money and GTX580 which goes for around about £400.

 

[xsistor]

Yeah, the ATI options are great if it's just gaming you're after. But for those of us who need CUDA ATI is just not an option.

For most people CUDA is nothing more than a sticker on a over priced box.

 

[chrisarm]

Crazy prices.

6850 CF for £280? I'm going to assume thats the cheapest 2nd hand price possible so of no relevance to brand new prices.

Yeah that wouldn't make a difference to many unless you work in some field like applied maths, engineering or physics

The Canadians are already selling this for $799 and the Core clock is a mere 612 MHz there too.

Such a pity. They should've gone with another power connector and amped up the juice. Made the cooling better as well.

At least maybe EVGA will release something clocked at proper speeds



On another note, given this price looks like the GTX 590 is around £499. with 20% EU VAT (yuck) it's going to be £599.

How many people working in maths, engineering or science come here and overclock their work computers?

P.S. xsistor (edit- and oulton), your sig is too big. Here's a post about what is allowed. I would have PM'd that but I think thats disabled here.

and add in the extra £50-100, just you know, because they can and will shaft us as much as possible.

How does CUDA have anything to do with overclocking. I was talking about why ATI might not be an option to some.

I know for a fact that my supervisor's team uses CUDA for various things and he works in machine vision and optical processors.

Yep even £599 sounds too reasonable at the moment.

I think he meant the majority of people here would be unlikely to use CUDA with it being a "forum for overclockers".

Er what? If it isnt as simple as insert the second card, bridge and install drivers then I think the company in question has got it wrong.

My point was it is that simple, and when the issues they were having come up, it's pretty clear it's not as simple as "crappy drivers that never work".

Shop around a bit and you can easily get them for £140 and even less if you wanted to and the cheapest the GTX580 goes for is around the £380 to £390 mark and you save enough money to buy yourself a small SSD upgrade.

If you really shop around you could pick up 4 HD6850's for the price of a GTX580. Looks like the HD6850 will soon go sub £100.

Err, it really isn't? The sheer amount of people with these problems, having done nothing other than what the installation states is a clear indicator of the scope of the issues. Rage3d worked out this was likely due to the hardware acceleration provided by parts of the AMD Driver package, which I have since uninstalled and have not had the problems since. PEBKAC? More like PEWAD. (work it out )

 

[straxusii]

Listed for $800

With tax that comes out at £591.

They quote 612mhz core and 855mhz memory. If that's true it's going to be very close in performance to 6990
