Title: Nvidia GTX 590
Post by: Pizzadude on 24 Sep 2011, 03:54:16 am: 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.

A GTX590 is two heavily underclocked 580s.

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.

Mmmm, Ive located one and you are correct the spec is mouth watering but the price has reduced me to tears.

And Mars 2 is too hot. One wrong move and it will burn. ;D
