ASUS GeForce GTX 590 Unboxed
A Chinese source, probably a distributor/retailer, leaked the first pictures of a retail-grade ASUS GeForce GTX 590 graphics accelerator. The pictures reveal a fairly standard packaging by ASUS, which features the same green box with a mythological warrior character used on most recent GeForce graphics cards by the company. Inside, there's a harder black paperboard box, which contains the graphics card and its accessories. ASUS' card bears a reference design. As with many high-end graphics cards released by ASUS in recent times, there are no fancy anime stickers on the card, rather it features the company badge.
The pictures also reveal a little bit about the card. It's a little longer than most NVIDIA GeForce cards released, including the GTX 295. The two GPU systems look well spaced apart from the central fan, which looks to be engineered for higher air-flow. Flipping the card, reveals that NVIDIA did not use a single full-coverage back-plate, rather two smaller ones, that just cover the area behind each GPU, and spread heat from memory chips located at the reverse side of the PCB. Display IO includes three DVI and a mini HDMI. You can use all three DVI connectors at a time, to drive a 3-display NVIDIA 3DVision Surround setup.

look at the outputs of the card :banghead:
Palit GTX 295
ASUS GTX 590
And how can it be a fake if the card is already ready and it is going to be shipped and released??
Because after all you don't actually KNOW they are fake although your origional post clearly stated they were..... hope I have made myself clearer now, anything can be construcive if approached in the right manner and thats perhaps the only reason why one or two disagreed with you.
I can't wait for bench results on this card so I can justify buying a 580.
My quad core is overclocked even have to give, i also pass by year's end to i7.
You could probably go i7 tomorrow if you cancelled your order for the 590 and sat on it for a minute.
I look forward to the review but I'm already pretty sure the price/performance wont be that great at stock speeds and be too hot to overclock very far so this card is just crying out for water.:roll:
Nvidia do not control the internet man and what gets leaked they cannot stop. Get proper signed evidence from Nvidia that it's fake then we will talk about it.
Then as some people said, this is pre launch pics to get people excited.
