So, what are everyone's thoughts on the new GTX 590?

Pics or it didn't happen.

As of today, there is no 590. Until verified and specced and benched, thoughts are just fanboy fodder.

So here goes.

It will cost less than SLI580. It will not equal SLI580 in performance. It will be hot. It will use a lot of electricity. It will be the most powerful card on the market. Nvidia fanboys will have their crown back from the 5970. It will probably best the 6990, if that card ever sees the light of day.

Carry on.

^As he said, lets wait until it comes out and gets bench marked shall we?

Although I kind of have to disagree a little bit. I think Nvidia will do everything possible to make the 590 run as cool and efficient as possible and use low electricity.

Then it may have to be a 560x2 in spec, or a really well binned set of 570s, but even those setups would be able to avoid reality. No matter how much work Nvidia puts into making sure that it is as cool and efficient as possible, it will be a hot power hungry card. There really is no way to avoid that on a card of this caliber.

I've heard that they are keeping the full amount of cuda cores turned on, while keeping the clock speeds lower, it's supposed to make it more 'efficient' whatever that means for a dual gpu card...
