14 DAY TRIAL // As we pretty much expected, we're faced with a flood of announcements related to NVIDIA's latest addition to the GTX 500 Series, the latest we've come across belonging to Gainward, although this traditional NVIDIA partner refrained from releasing a “Golden Sample” just yet.
So, although we're talking about a limited-edition product, Gainward's implementation of the GTX 590 is pretty close to the reference version, sporting 1024 CUDA cores, with a processor clocked at 607MHz and accompanied by 3072MB of GDDR5 768 bits memory, that's been clocked at 1707MHz, attaining a maximum bandwidth of 327.7GB/sec.
Another interesting detail (one that NVIDIA will certainly bank on in their attempts to promote the GTX 590) is the fact that this card supports NVIDIA 3D Vision surround technology on a single card, meaning that users will finally be able to enjoy 3 x 3D monitor setups without having to cram two cards within their systems in order to do so.
And since the card packs three DVI-I interfaces and a mini-Display port, setting up such a monitor configuration shouldn't prove to be much of a challenge.
It's also interesting to mention that Gainward comments a bit more on the topic of SLI configurations, claiming that placing two such monster cards in a Quad SLI configuration will most likely lead to the birth of the world's most powerful gaming system, almost two times faster than a similar configuration using a single GTX 590.
Of course, while the idea of having access to such a huge level of graphics computing power might seem extremely exciting at first, things are, in fact, quite different as far as the pricing is concerned, given the fact that the 700 US dollars price point will certainly be a deterrent (even worse, we're not sure just how many people around the world will be churning out close to 1,500 US dollars for one of the aforementioned Quad SLI configurations).
