[TPU] NVIDIA Revising GeForce GTX 590 Design

[TotaLOverdosE]

No doubt the GeForce GTX 590 is a cracker of a graphics card (no pun intended). It shares a disputed lead with the AMD Radeon HD 6990, where the latter has the reputation of being the more electrically stable of the two. Voltage-assisted overclocking of the GTX 590 has proven to be many an overclocker's $700 misadventure, with the weak VRM circuitry burning up with even the slightest bump in voltages. NVIDIA plans to fix this once and for all with a hardware update of the GTX 590.

In June, NVIDIA plans to release a new revision of the GeForce GTX 590 with a stronger VRM circuitry, stronger inductors, FETs, capacitors, etc. The revision could possibly alter the reference PCB design, at least with the VRM areas, and that could mean water-block manufacturers could have to go back to the drawing boards. Who knows, the new revision of GTX 590 with heightened electrical stability could also create some room for new models from AICs with better overclocked speeds out of the box, to step up competitiveness against the HD 6990.

Current GTX590 buyers will be really pissed off !!

current gtx590 buyers will be really pissed off !!

why afq ??

 

[Cerberus]

because they will have old revision

It has problems in overclocking,but i've seen this thing being run in at Quad setup at stock and was looking pretty awesome then......i guess it makes sense that combining 2 GTX-580's together on one PCB really does take some juice.....

lol nvidia really you people cant leave any chance of making some more money xD

 

[Mazhar Ali Khan]

I hope they get right this time.

 

[Cerberus]

thank GOD i didnt bought it

 

[FARSANG]

^well looking at your pc specs, you were not going to buy it in first place

this department has always been nvidias weak side.
AMD in this regard has always been very solid and there architecture has always been flawles..
i have seen the ATI 6990 in crossfire setup...with affinitry eye..
nothing comes close to it..!!!
a true monster...!!!
lets see what Nvidia does in the redesign!!!!

now this shape looks better than the old one................

AMD has grabbed Nvidia by the jugular. Ever since the 5800 series, AMD has surpassed Nvidia in terms of price, performance:watt ratio and of course the first one to release DX11 capabilities! Nvidia truly needs to shape up its game if it wants to keep its reputation. All this revising the models issue will just PISS off avid fans of Nvidia, and make us AMD lovers laugh.

Wait what? xD

There's no new design, That's the Current 590 shown in the pic.

Amd's going to cut it soon xD

i WANTS IT NOW :3
