well this from fudzilla so just want to share them the card follows the similar kind of built like the RADEON HD6990

the source is from FUDZILLA...

here's the card with the slide:

And here's the bad news of 600MHZ*** downclock:(
http://www.fudzilla.com/graphics/item/22109-nvidia-downclocks-the-gtx-590

so what do u guys think end of show for nvidia or will it still manage to beat the HD6990 by a small bit?
PLZZZ leave ur comments:)

Nothing bad with a downclock. Just means more room to OC it.

Not sure why when Nvidia downclock a card its a terrible decision but the 6990 is downclocked and that's fine.

Just turn the clocks up and away you go - pretty sure its to stay inside spec much as it was with the 6990.

Ok who doesn't overclock everything? My 580 is running at 950 core..

6990s overheat like crazy. where did u get that overclock from? o_O

lol. I am not on anybody's side man. I have been thinking to switch to GTX580s and was expecting a lot from GTX590 is all. However, I forgot Nvidia makes egg cookers. lol.

Lets pray the 590 isnt AS loud ( we know it will be )

Side note, The 6990 overheated while playing Metro 2033 last night.
Customer called me mad as a hornet.
Overheated with proper profiles for fan speed and on stock?

Wow...

I don't believe 600mhz for a minute.
The 295 lost only 50mhz and it was an equally hot/power hungry card of its generation.

Oh wow looking at those power consumption numbers

The gtx 295 was dual gtx 275's, not dual 285's. If it was dual 285's on a single pcb, then it would be the same situation. Nvidia simply can't keep the power consumption levels on their cards down, which is why they suffer for less performance/watt.

The 6990 will be king of the hill, sorry nvidia.

( I dont want to hear "Custom fan profile !!L!@@1! " , I use one, He doesn't and shouldn't have to )
Cards should be able to keep themselves cool out of the box, Period!!
Agreed. I'd never mess with custom fan profiles on a client pc. I do make sure hot cards have lots of good airflow.. you never know what kind of cramped space the client will place the pc.

On topic: Even if its clocked at 600mhz, I'd watercool it and go from there.

That's right

But I still can't believe only 600mhz, what's the point?
I don't think it could even put up better numbers in Heaven or 3d11 at that speed.

Who gives a crap what the stock clock is.

Everyone raise your hand if you run your cards at stock clocks.

*Cricket...cricket...*

Yeah didn't think so. If you can't handle a card that will draw north of 450w+ under load and overclocked then you don't belong on OVERCLOCK.net.

Not to mention the fact that overclocking any 6990 aside from the XFX one will void your warranty.

At least it won't overheat playing Metro 2033 with those clocks.

Seems to me that AMD was a little ambitious with their core speeds and didn't realize that video cards shouldn't be running routinely into the high 80s playing games on the stock core clock.
