GeForce GTX 590 – twin-processor 3D goes on sale in February. NVIDIA is trying to take out their main rival AMD with its Radeon 5970 – which is now the fastest graphics card in the world, which holds this title since November of 2009.
They have come up with a twin-processor system of GTX 590 model. Previous 3D card made by NVIDIA was GeForce GTX 295 was released in January of 2009. After that NVIDIA focused on producing simpler models with only one GPU. Their problem was with GF100 – processor that they used: it needed too much power to operate.
However, now NVIDIA is using GF110 processors in their GTX590 which made new video card not so thirsty. It’s enough with all the history part; now let’s start talking about its parameters. It has 512 stream processors, and a 384-bit BUS. It has a total of 3GB of GDDR5 on board and there is no info on working frequencies. It is also known that GeForce GTX590 will have only one but 90mm fan.
GTX 580 which was built around the same processor had frequencies of: 772MHz – core, 1544MHz – shader, 1002MHz – memory. However, I think, they will have to lower them down to keep power consumption low. GTX 580 had power consumption of about 244 Watts.
GTX590 already has a rival – Radeon HD 6990 (Antilles) that is coming out soon. We expect to see a good fight.
