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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Looks like that NVIDIA one is a different layout. My preference is the EVGA custom one though. There is a heck of a lot simular between the two boards, but a lot of things different too. Check the vram chip count on the EVGA vs the NVIDIA. The EVGA one looks to have 8 vram chips per GPU (4 in back of card and 4 in front per GPU). The NVIDIA one looks to have at least 6 per GPU but no idea of they double up on the back of the board. The port out config looks the same though.

You didn't post a naked picture of the EVGA card ;)

Of course not, but the information can be found by simply looking at the back of the last pic. :wink:
I am looking to replace my dual 6950s with nvidia hardware to solve my screen tearing & stuttering problems. My choices so far are: Getting 2x 560GTX 2gb in SLI, or wait for that 590GTX and use it as a single card. Which one would be the best for 5760x1200 gaming..
