14 DAY TRIAL // Since NVIDIA unleashed the GeForce GTX 590 just days ago, it is no surprise to see its various partners show off their own solutions, and Inno3D has now joined the fray with a stock-clocked version of it.
One might say that consumers have been waiting for NVIDIA to unleash a dual-GPU, DirectX 11 video card for many months.
In fact, it could be seen as odd that it only now happened, considering the fact that AMD had its first one out way back on 2009 and has since revealed a second one.
It was also found that, according to reviews, the new GTX 590 came out slower compared to the Radeon HD 6990 (the successor to the HD 5970), although it was described as “the best dual GPU product ever built” by its makers anyway.
Granted, the dual-GF110 card has other advantages, like a lower noise output, albeit it still takes up a lot of space.
Either way, the likes of MSI, among quite a few others, made their custom cards, while Digital Storm, V3 Gaming and others PC makers added the newcomer to their systems.
Inno3D presented a card of its own now, whose two GF110 chips work at 607 MHz each, while the 3 GB of GDDR5 VRAM are clocked at 3,414 MHz.
Meanwhile, the 1,024 CUDA cores feature a shader frequency of 1,215 MHz, while the memory interface is of 768 bits (384 bits per GPU).
All in all, the Inno3D GeForce GTX 590 has a memory data rate of 2,414 Mbps and a bandwidth of 327.7 GB/s.
Needless to say, 3D Vision Surround is supported, at a resolution of 5760 x 1080 pixels even, as are Quad SLI and PhysX. The price was not mentioned, but it shouldn't be too different from the $699 that NVIDIA imposed for its original.
