![]() The GTX 590’s core clock is just 607MHz, and the GDDR5 memory ticks along at 854MHz-or about 3.4 GT/s. Yet in order to keep the GTX 590 within a manageable power limit, Nvidia has dialed back the clock speeds to levels well below the GeForce GTX 570’s. Unit counts therefore mirror those for a pair of GeForce GTX 580 cards in SLI. Naturally, then, Nvidia has cooked up an answer to the Radeon HD 6990, one that reveals a decidedly different approach to the extreme dually graphics card.Ĭode-named “Gemini” during its development, the GTX 590 has a pair of GF110 chips onboard, and those GPUs haven’t had any of their onboard hardware disabled. The GF110 GPU in today’s high-end GeForce cards is still a rather enormous chip, but it’s a little easier to tame-and is a formidable rival to the Cayman GPU in the Radeon HD 6900 series. The first-gen chips based on the Fermi GPU architecture were famously late and thermally constrained, making them iffy candidates for the SLI-on-a-stick treatment. That’s probably one reason we didn’t see a dual-GPU entrant in the GeForce GTX 400 series. As we noted in our 6990 review, cramming two high-end GPUs onto a dual-slot expansion card isn’t easy power and thermal limitations often define these products, more so than most. The last one, the GeForce GTX 295, debuted over two years ago. This is Nvidia’s first attempt at a dually product in quite some time, at least in the frenetically paced graphics market. Like the Radeon HD 6990, the GeForce GTX 590 is a dual-GPU video card planted firmly at the top of the lineup. Now, we’re back on the graphics beat with a premium offering from Nvidia, the GeForce GTX 590. After that, we investigated a pair of breathtakingly fast SSDs. We kicked it off with a look at the Core i7-990X, a world-beating six-core CPU, and then moved on to the absolutely epic Radeon HD 6990. March has certainly been a month of extremes around here. ![]() ![]() Buying DVWarehouse computer products helps support us at Techreport!
