NVIDIA is releasing a the dual-GPU GeForce GTX 590 at 9 am (EDT) on Thursday, March 24th. Rumor is that the GTX 590 will have 1024 cores (512 per GPU), 128 texture units (64 per GPU), 96 ROPS (48 per GPU), and 3 GB of GDDR5 memory (1.5 GB per GPU). The memory bus width is 384 bits. It has two 8 pin power connectors, each of which can deliver 150 Watts. It can also draw up to 75 Watts from the PCIe connector. Rumor is that it will draw 375 Watts, just like the Radeon HD 6990.
PCInLife has posted some pictures of the ASUS GTX 590 which provide some additional details. The ASUS GTX 590 has 3 DVI outputs and 1 Mini DisplayPort output. Ozone3D fills in some more missing details by saying that the GPU will be clocked at 613 MHz (slower than the 580’s 722 MHz), the memory will be clocked at 855 MHz (slower than the 580’s 1.004 GHz) and the shaders will be clocked at 1.225 GHz (slower than the 580’s 1.544 GHz). The memory bandwidth will be 164.2 GB/second. The Pixel fillrate is 29.4 billion pixels per second. The Texture fillrate is 39.2 billion texels per second. TechPowerUp has a picture showing that the ASUS GTX 590 is shorter than the Radeon HD 6990.
The Nvidia GeForce GTX is rumored to cost $799. Rumors on the benchmarks show that it is slower than the Radeon HD 6990. Given the clock speeds, it will be slower than two 580’s in SLI. Tomorrow we will find out for sure what the benchmarks really are.
