V3 Gaming PCs Now Available with NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 Graphics

V3 Gaming, manufacturer of high-end computer systems, has announced the availability of the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 graphics card in its high-end Convoy and Avenger desktop computers. The GTX 590 is the most powerful DirectX 11 graphics card ever built, delivers high-end performance in an excellent physical design, and uses cutting-edge technology to provide a cooler and quieter gaming experience.

The new GeForce GTX 590 graphics card features dual 512-core GTX 500 GPUs and an extended vapor chamber cooler that harnesses the incredible power of the NVIDIA Fermi architecture efficiently and quietly. With a total of 1024 CUDA cores, 3GB of GDDR5 graphics memory, and three dual-link DVI ports as well as a mini display-port connector, the GTX 590 is the single most capable graphics card in existence.



“The NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 is truly a marvel of engineering and design. NVIDIA has managed to shoehorn two extremely powerful GPUs into a single high-performance graphics card that runs relatively cool and quiet.” said Steven Chien, CEO of V3 Gaming PC.

As in the GeForce GTX 580 and GTX 570 cards before it, NVIDIA utilizes a vapor chamber heatsink design on the GTX 590, which improves thermal efficiency and allows the fan to run significantly slower, producing a dramatic reduction in noise. The physical shape of the graphics card and placement of the fan in the center provides improved air circulation over competing dual GPU graphics card designs.

Like all recent NVIDIA graphics cards, the GeForce GTX 590 supports Microsoft DirectX 11 technology, which makes it perfect for playing all of the latest games. What separates the GTX 590 from the rest of the pack, however, is its three dual-link DVI ports, making it the first product to support NVIDIA 3D VisionTM Surround technology on a single graphics card.

V3 Gaming PC desktops equipped with NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 590 graphics cards also support NVIDIA CUDA and PhysX technologies for the best computing experience possible. The GTX 590 can also be configured in Quad SLI mode for the ultimate PC gaming experience. V3 Gaming PC recommends pairing this new graphics card with a capable processor to ensure an optimized gaming experience. All V3 Gaming PCs are backed by industry-leading lifetime labor and technical support services, as well as a 3-year limited warranty on parts.

Only 2 sites have claim that something like that happen. But none of the other review sites have not had it happen. So why is that?

BTW you wouldn't here the fire trucks coming with all the noise the 6990 makes.

I don't think they simply "claimed" the proof has been shown in pictures and videos so you need to rethink your wording

BTW you sound like a bitter when you start slating the 6990 cause someone said something derrogatory about the precious GTX 590

Bottom line is neither the GTX 590 or the 6990 are what people expected in more ways than one they are both flawed ond overpriced, am getting sick of this pathetic dick swinging competition that NV and ATI are competing in lately, I mean every Gen theres barely a 10% increase in performance and the power consumption keeps on rising.

I will be missing more than the next gen from both if this shit continues.

It's funny right before/after a major launch from either team Green or Red the flame wars start again.....

I guess I'm biased I just want each generation to get better than the last.. With high end GPUs, CPU's whatever I just don't care about stock noise, heat etc..... As an enthusiast I just want MORE POWER!! Custom cooling will do the rest...

i am disappointed with the performance in reviews of the 590 against the other topdog the 6990,
but having said that -it performs exceptionally well in its own right as a flagship graphics card even if its very expensive.
i would love to get this under antifreeze and see if it can best a pair of 580s though.
To think that kepler is just around the corner....

and the GTX 590 doesn't make noise or use a huge load of power? They are supposed to, big fucking deal... These 2 are the closest flagship cards performance-wise in a LOOONG time. and an argument would be that while there are 2 confirmed cases, there are like none for the 6990

Now if High-end pre-builts make a comeback, I'll be happy to make a few custom builts for friends and brag about how it is 5000$ pre-built

I'm just going to hand out infractions if this turns into a "this card" vs. "this card" thread. I will say no more.

While these rigs are very cool for those that can't build, I really can't afford to pay the extra hundreds for customer support for a machine i could very well build myself.
