There are plenty of reviews of 580 SLI vs 590. Performance-wise, this is identical to 580 SLI.

It's only really power consumption and temperatures/noise that we don't know about yet.

D4S4 · May 30, 2011, 04:38 PM

i wanna see the pcb.

Kreij · May 30, 2011, 04:43 PM

Can this even be mounted in a regular case (vertical mobo)?
It looks like it weights about 10 lbs.

avatar_raq · May 30, 2011, 04:45 PM

A card this big and they fail to use two 120mm or at least 90mm fans!! :S

That may be true, but there is also the possibly higher overclocking potential.

The fans are 120mm

Now all we need is longer mobo's to support sli/tri and still be able to run other cards i.e. turner, ssd, audio or expansion cards. O, and we'll need taller cases to have more then 7-8 pci slots.

Those r freakin power hungry

sweet lookin. Prob lookin round the price of two 580 i'm guessin'.

Look up HPTX, it's already here.

You can already get (much) taller than standard cases, so you can just have two of these filling the bottom four slots of a standard ATX board (with suitably positioned PCI-E x16 slots) and you'll have the top three slots free for whatever you want

LAN_deRf_HA · May 30, 2011, 07:42 PM

Hmmm. My perpetually unbuilt but up to date fantasy build just got $1200 more expensive (expecting a $600 premium per card over the 6990).

kzinti1 · May 30, 2011, 08:45 PM

A complete waste of space. Both in the real world and this Forum. I could easily buy one of these things. I could also buy a metric ton of manure and still have no use for either. They both stink.

is this on the market now yet?

Me and TheMailMan have that portion covered. Should be easy for us to cause a distraction.

six months down the road after that the 'single/dual' card you speak of will be out done by another card that eats less power and is faster.. so there!!!

Yeah odd. Maybe because it overclocks like a 580 not a 590.

Exactly what i reckon. Save the cash (if you have it) and crossfire two upcoming 7000 series radeons!

LAN_deRf_HA · May 31, 2011, 01:52 AM

The only reason to be pissy about this is if you already bought a 590/6990 and are annoyed that you now have to spend twice as much to have the epeen you get from owning the fastest card.
