Zotac Also Outs GeForce GTX 590 Video Card

Together with all the other Nvidia board partners, Zotac has also announced the availability of its GeForce GTX 590 graphics card that packs dual GF110 GPUs on the same PCB and promises to deliver a smooth-as-butter gaming experience even when multi-monitor setups are being used.

Taking a look at Zotac's creation, it becomes apparent that the card doesn't differ too much from its competitors’ solutions since the company decided to go with Nvidia's reference design when building its GeForce GTX 590 model.

This was used for the vast majority of the GTX 590-based cards announced until now and employs a centrally placed fan that is flanked by two vapor chamber radiators.

Each one of these has to cool one of the two GF110 cores that together pack 1024 stream processors, 128 texturing units and 96 ROP units. The 3GB of GDDR5 video buffer is connected to the GPUs via two independent 384-bit wide memory buses.

The operating frequencies of the card also follow to the letter Nvidia's recommendations as the two cores come clocked at 607MHz while the memory chips run at 853MHz (3414MHz data rate), making it perform on par with all the other non-factory overclocked GTX 590's.

“Our Zotac GeForce GTX 590 is engineered to deliver the absolute best PC gaming experience available.

“With the Zotac GeForce GTX 590, gamers can experience triple-monitor gaming with DirectX 11 technology, stereoscopic 3D effects and realistic physics processing on a single graphics card for the first time,” said Carsten Berger, marketing director, Zotac International.

Together with the card, users who want to go for Zotac's GTX 590 solution will also get a download voucher for a full copy of Assassin’s Creed: Brotherhood.

Sadly, no details regarding pricing were revealed by Zotac, but Nvidia's MSRP for the GeForce GTX 590 is set at $699.99.
