The Nvidia GTX 590 is due to be unveiled tomorrow at PAX East, which is a three-day game festival for tabletop, video, and PC gamers. Last year, Nvidia released the GTX 470 and GTX 480 on the first day of PAX East 2010. Rumor is that the GTX 590 will have 1024 cores, 128 texture units, 96 ROPS, and 3 GB memory. 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. I am curious to see if it will be as power hungry as the Radeon HD 6990 when it is overclocked. An overclocked 6990 can sonsume upwards of 500 Watts.
However, Expreview is reporting that the actual release date for the GTX 590 will be March 22nd. What else is being released on March 22nd? Crysis 2.
