Nvidia launches their stealthy dual GPU beast.

Posted By: Steve McBarnes - 05:56:12 Thu, March 24, 2011

Today Nvidia has shot put their GTX 590 into the market, and much like a shot put, it has landed with a thud, but within a few inches of the competition. The HD 6990 at stock speeds uses less power, is a little bit faster (in most games) but the GTX 590 is cooler, quieter, it's more overclockerable and it has a neat light up GeForce logo on its side.

All the cards are being made by Nvidia so the best looking launch card contest will be decided by which company has the nicest sticker. For the guys we've got the GoldenEyesque Palit and for the Christian ladies we have a male angel with rock hard abs from Gainward.

Wow, it's been a while since nVidia has debuted a dual-GPU card that hasn't been the best of the best. Even with my HAF 912, I don't think I would want those kinds of fire-breathing beasts in my machine right now.
