14 DAY TRIAL // Spotted for the first time just a few days before Nvidia's new flagship card made its official debut, the Gigabyte GTX 590 has now been finally released and just as the early leaks pointed out, the card is bundled together with an M8000X gaming mouse.
Apart from the special bundle, Gigabyte's GTX 590 doesn't differ too much from all the other solutions offered by its competition as the card uses the same Nvidia reference design and cooling solution.
This is comprised out of a high airflow fan that sits right in the middle of the card and blows air towards the two vapor chamber heatsinks which, in turn, cool the two GF110 cores installed.
The GPUs are the same ones as those used to power the GTX 580, and together feature no less than 1024 streaming processors, 128 texturing units, 96 ROP units as well as dual 384-bit memory interfaces that connect to 3GB of GDDR video buffer (1.5GB each).
The operating clocks are set at 607MHz for the GPUs and 853MHz (3414MHz data rate) for the memory, and Nvidia says its “real world applications” TDP is estimated at 365W.
Unlike the rest of Nvidia's graphics cards, the GTX 590 can drive up to four monitors at the same time as it comes equipped with three dual-link DVI ports and a mini-DisplayPort connector and the card is also 3D Vision enabled.
The Gigabyte GTX 590 ships in a specially designed plastic box that has a separate compartment for the M8000X gaming mouse that comes bundles with the card.
According to the company, the mouse has a resolution of 6000 DPI and a built-in 32KB GHOSTTM engine that supports 70 onboard macros.
Right now, the Gigabyte GTX 590 is pretty difficult to find in retail, but a quick price search revealed that at least one UK-base e-tailer has it listed at £605.51.
