I take it that its price tag will be HUGE as well.

 

[vickybat]

^^ you got that right. somewhere around $630.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

its HUUUGGGGEEEEEE! and its price is tooooo HUUUGGGEEE!!

BTW something good from wiki. 595 is set to release in Q1 and so does 550.
GeForce 500 Series - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

So GTX 595 will compete with HD6990

@ vicky and Jaskanwar - TFS

That evga one is of their own design, most probably dual 560gtx,to give more performance than single 580gtx ,in almost same price and allow to use 3monitor surround 3d with a single card.we can't tell it gtx 595 or gtx 590

haha. Foot-long burger might took tiny next to this one

That evga card is most probably a gtx 595 board based on two gf 110 die with a custom cooler. Evga doesn't make custom cards like asus ares so must be an nvidia reference.

There is no gtx 590 in the cards , atleast not for now. But 595 will see release in Q1 2011 , most probably at the same time as antilles.

^^ This is why i am a big fan of ASUS.

You can call me an asus fanboy.

 

[funkysourav]

Hmmm
very good looking frying pan it is

 

[topgear]

^^ even I'm wondering how much power it will consume - eagerly waiting for some review benchmark.

from now on I will call you this

 

[vickybat]

^^ Hehe sure topgear. I won't mind at all.

 

[furious_gamer]

^^ Let the game begin, once again

BTW What might be the price tag for 595? Any guess?

 

[rchi84]

Just imagine. for the price of one card, you can assemble a decent computer :O

 

[vickybat]

^^ Well buddy, they are for a different breed of users. These guys will already have a more than decent system and enough disposable income. I don't see any other reason of not buying these beauties. If you can purchase a 6990 or gtx 595 without breaking the bank, then go for them eyes closed. Thats my opinion. These cards don't speak the value language.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

They just mean performance

 

[rchi84]

I used to think that way, till Nvidia released the 8800GT. Since then, we've always had the current mainstream card match up, if not outpace, the previous gen leader in performance. The 570 can easily go toe to toe with the 480. Amd just abandoned that approach and releases two of their fastest single cards on a die nowadays, as their fastest card. Something for which they get a lot of flak, but which makes sense, business wise.

Today, you can buy an 8800 Ultra for a tenth of the original price, just 3 years later.. I think the mid range and lower upper range cards are the better option always.

 

[Jaskanwar Singh]

^^well as time passes every card will be outdated. so i disagree.

 

[funkysourav]

i for one agree with rchi84
its always the mid, lower-mid cards that are viable and VFM
