1,024 total CUDA cores, 94 ROPs, and 3GB of GDDR5 RAM on board. Yup, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 is indeed a couple of GTX 580 chips spliced together, however power constraints have meant that every of these chips is running at a tamer pace that their single-card variant. The core clock speed is all the way down to 607MHz, shaders are just doing 1.2GHz, and the memory clocks in at 3.4GHz. Still, there’s a ton of grunt under that outsized shroud and reviewers have put it to the test against AMD’s incumbent single-card performance leader, the Radeon HD 6990 . Like the GTX 590, it sports a couple of AMD’s finest GPUs and prices a wallet-eviscerating $699. Alas, after much benchmarking, testing, and watching extremely beautiful graphics, the realization was that AMD retains its title. But only just. And, as Tech Report points out, the GTX 590 has a remarkably quiet cooler for a heavy duty pixel pusher of its kind. Dive into the reviews below to benefit more, or check the brand new card out on video after the break.
