Nvidia GTX 590

Pizzadude:
Can anybody give me some insight as to which is the highest performing solution the mighty GTX590 or two GTX580's from a crunching point of view.

sunu:
2xGTX580.

A GTX590 is two heavily underclocked 580s.

SciManStev:
There was a limited run of something called a Mars 2, which is a full double 580 that can be heavilly overclocked. A water cooled version was also available, but you were looking at I think $1700 per card. A pair of Mars 2 cards, a couple of top end PSU's, and a ferocious motherboard, RAM, and CPU will get you a formidable system, as well as in the poor house.

SubSpace:
I think that 2xGTX580 will be faster, than GTX590. Besides they can be overclocked.
And Mars 2 is too hot. One wrong move and it will burn.  ;D
