Gigabyte GeForce GTX 590 (3072MB)
[Posted by: Steve]

Comment
The arrival of the Nvidia GeForce GTX 590 has been largely anticipated and today the wait is finally over. Not since the mighty GeForce GTX 295 has Nvidia released a dual-GPU graphics card, making the new GTX 590 all the more exciting. For testing we have a Gigabyte production version that comes bundled in a very impressive package...

The Gigabyte version of the GeForce GTX 590 is a very impressive graphics card, even if it does follow the Nvidia reference design to a tee. However the inclusion of the Gigabyte M8000Xtreme gaming mouse is very nice, as is the package that it all comes in. Gigabyte has also included a Mini DisplayPort to DisplayPort female cable adapter which allows those with a standard DisplayPort cable to use this feature.

The GF110 GPU's suck too much power to run two of them at full speed (772 MHz) on the same PCB. Honestly, I think NVidia would do better with a dual GF114 card. You would have 25% fewer CUDA cores but easily 50% higher clock speeds since most GTX560Ti's will run at 900 to 950 MHz without breaking a sweat. I think a dual GPU version of the GTX560Ti running at 900 MHz would actually beat the GTX590.

Maybe Steve can do a little GTX590 versus GTX560Ti SLI test for us.

Great review, looks to be a really nice card, you compare it to a 580 in sli and say that would beat it, so what would a pair of 590's go like in sli??? Surely then it would be the ultimate gammers wetdream  ;).
