GeForce GTX 590 Key Features Revealed

OK.....to all the red team ...... maybe if the green team agree that the 6990 isn't hot and loud then you can agree that neither is the 480......nah didn't think so .....

Who's saying the 6990 isn't hot and loud? We all know both that and the 480 are quite hot and loud. You could argue it's worse for the based on its performance, but they're still hot and noisy cards.

that is a good price...
just couldnt bring myself to buy HIS

 

[gareth170]

let's just wait for most of the two faced people to say wow 590 is at a good price of £650+,

 

[bru]

hehe I'm fairly certain that both camps will agree that these cards are not good value.

Compared to other competitors I hope you meant... the over all price is a rip

If the 580 comes in at under £700 I think that's decent value compared to 2x580s.

If it runs at 570 SLI speeds?

Edit- not clock speeds but general performance I mean.

 

[RavenXXX2]

That's not confirmed but thinking more about it that would not concern me too much as I'm sure they will clock well and easily surpass stock 580 clocks.

u shouldn't base it on after overclocking it..

u could easyly oc a 6990 to 950-1000

Best not to rise to the bait, he can't seem to understand the idea THAT HE MAY JUST SLIGHTLY ONLY BE A MINUSCULE TAD IN THE WRONG, EVER.

Now I'm not a fanboy either way, I might even be skipping this generation, I just like having the most powerful option for my budget, and so far apart from ATi's SHODDY drivers you can't get much better than what I have

Not really, 2x580s would smoke the 590

£515 is not that bad at all...i would pay that
6990 is a spicy meatball of a card and as i have said previous i would put it under water from day one and clock it so i think thats decent ish value....below £499 would be better....5970 was this price when they came out and i bought mine for £450

only if they have the power of 2 x 580 which they will not

 

[mikeyholt]

I wonder when we can expect benchmarks...

 

[LeJosh]

Tomorrow or Thursday.

How can you guys be so sure of what setups will beat the GTX590 etc etc? We'll only truly know once the card has been released no?

Unless a hero with "insider info" comes to save us all!!!!1 I just hope they don't mix up sli 580 results with the 590.

Haha, there's always one person that shows up from nowhere though, who claim to know a guy on the inside who has leaked them info
