nVidia GTX 590 Introduction - The Worlds Fastest Single Card System

When dealing with competitive benchmarking you are always lusting after the super high-end hardware since that is the gear to get you real performance points.  That's not to say you can't get points using cheaper and more common components, however the points are simply not the same.

This is where having the fastest GPU on the planet can really help your points position and the GTX 590 is the new speed king.  Check out our introduction article for more information on this new dual GPU video card based on the awesome GTX 580.

As we mentioned before the GTX 590 is the world's fastest GPU, but what makes it the fastest GPU?? Is it a mystery chip discovered in the basement graphics lab? Or is it an innovative product that leverages the best that nVidia has to offer in a compact package? Actually, it's a little of both.

The card looks awesome, however the card architecture is designed for raw speed and not so much for overclocking.  Yes there is a 10 phase PWM on board, but 5 phases pre GPU seems a little low considering some of the enthusiast friendly GTX 580s you can buy.

Then again overclocking the primary driver behind what makes the GTX 590 so cool.
