PAX East is a three-day game festival for gamers. Gamers includes tabletop, video, and PC gamers. PAX East will take place in Boston, MA from March 11-13. Tom’s Hardware is reporting that the NVIDIA GTX 590 will be released at PAX East. If you remember last year, Nvidia released the GTX 470 and GTX 480 on the first day of PAX East 2010. One can resonably expect then, that the GTX 590 will be released on March 11th.
Like the Radeon HD 6990, the NVIDIA GTX 590 will be a dual GPU card. Therefore one can surmise that the GTX 590 will have simply double the number of cores, texture units, ROPS, and memory. If that is the case, then the 590 will have 1024 cores, 128 texture units, 96 ROPS, and 3 GB memory. GPU core speeds and memory speeds are unknown at this time. However, to minimize the power draw and the heat generated, they are likely to be slower than the GTX 580 which has a 772 MHz GPU core speed and 4.008 GHz memory speed.
