I just installed two GTX 580's. I did it not for the amazing performance, which it does produce but because I wanted to run three 1920 X 1200 monitors (5760 X 1200) which they also do amazingly well.

That picture was made by a member on the Guru3D forum partly based on my suggestion after his first edition also at the link...Hmmmm

if it performs close to sli'ed 580s it will be a beast. if nvidia dont get a grip on their thermals, we are gonna need a 220v just to power nvidia based machines. personally i dont need all the performance that a single 580 gives. my ati 4870 still serves me very well. but there wouldnt be a market for things like this if it werent for rich people that has to have the best of everything and upgrade constantly. i can afford whatever but i choose not to waste money like that

3 6 pins? wtf? each 6 pin is 75 watts so 3 makes 225 plus 75 from the pcie making 300watts. why would they go 3 6 pins when its more standard to use 1 6 pin and 1 8 pin? makes no sense

No more than 700 bones? You goddamn people must have bathtubs that pour money, hats made of money, shoes made of money, money made of money, and a wife made of money. Hesus.

I hope that's not a real pic, because I would think the second fan would serve to block airflow out the back

We will have to wait and see the final numbers.  Im more about price/performance than anything else.  I sure hope it doesnt take 3 six pins to run, because that would suck, lol.

Little late Nvidia and AMD (althought AMD was never in my plans anyway) but I just dropped $360 on an EVGE GTX 570 SC from the EGG.  Came back in stock on friday, I placed my order and they were out of stock 6 hours later.  I didn't want to spend that kind of money, but as long as it's not defective 6 months down the road, I will be happy because combined with a water cooled I7 950 and 12 gigs of DDR3 1600, this thing is a BEAST.

Whoa...

Is that picture for real ? Because I've never seen a card with 3 PCIe 6-pin connectors !

It would mean 150w from the PCIe 2.0 lane, then 75w per 6-pin connector.

That would mean a maximum power draw of 375w for that card...Considering a single reference GTX 580 draws a maximum of 244w, I would have thought a GTX 590 would need at least 400w.

But then, if it were 2 8-pin connectors, there would have been a maximum of 450w available for that card. It would make more sense. If I were Nvidia, I'd even put another 8-pin connector, just to be sure...

 

Anyway, that card will rock !

I'm seriously considering buying two of those next summer...

I hope they won't be *too* expensive. No more than 700$ each, I hope.

Well, I guess we'll all see that in a couple of weeks eh ?
