If there was a card that looks like it'll be a good replacement for my pair of GTX 295 this would be it, details are a little scares atm but we do know its coming, and its expected to be soon.

Based on a 40-nm fabrication process, the currently unannounced GTX 590 will reportedly come packed with two GF110 GPUs with 512 CUDA cores each, totaling 1024 CUDA cores. The card will also feature a 2 x 384-bit memory interface, 3 GB of GDDR5 memory and support for DirectX 11.

Nordic Hardware speculates that Nvidia chose to max the CUDA count instead of turning off shader blocks and increasing GPU frequencies, offering a more efficient solution. The dual-GPU card will thus have lower clock frequencies and voltages than the new GeForce GTX 580 with a 244-watt TDP using just one GF110 GPU. For now, it's unknown just how much power the dual-GPU card will actually consume when it hits the market, but expect a lot.

Hehe looks like a monster :mrgreen:

Unless this is a bunch of rumors bashed together to make an article the EVGA dual core that's coming out soon is an EVGA only custom product. There is no NVIDIA naming scheme for it such as GTX590 unless EVGA is making it for NVIDIA. I sat down with EVGA for two hours privately during CES 2011 and have details on it.

I don't suppose you're allowed to share those details, are you? :P

That article states that NVIDIA have confirmed the name and expected release date, it makes no mention of EVGA. Given the fact the news is relativity new I would give it a day or two before dismissing it.

One has to wonder if the card will have enough ports/ outputs to enable 3D Vision with a "single" GTX590.

If they let you use an HDMI->DVI adapter like you could on the GTX 295 Dual-PCB version in surround, then I don't see why not - unless they don't include a mini-HDMI like they have on every other 500 series card so far.

I don't suppose you're allowed to share those details, are you? :P

Here is the EVGA custom dual GPU card. Notice triple DVI for NVIDIA 3D Vision Surround capable single card. :wink:

Hot damn. That is sexy. Do want. O_O

Actually, I want 2. :D

Cool, all I need now is a EK waterblock for it and I'm set (my pair of GTX295s are currently water cooled) ^^ *EVGA Hydrocopper are always stupidly expensive compared to a decent 3rd party waterblock*

You know that 3 DVI ports are in the right position for the reference design screenshot that nordich hardware posted.
