GTX 590 Revision 2 to Hit Shelves in June
Last Updated on Monday, 16 May 2011 10:23 Written by Naota Monday, 16 May 2011 10:23
NVIDIA has finally acknowledged their wrong-doings with the GTX 590. The GTX 590 Version 2 will hit the shelves in June. This revision will contain higher quality inductors that will prevent the GTX 590 from blowing up when stressed and over clocked. There are no details on what will happen to the current GTX 590 holders though, but things probably won’t go your way. The GTX 590 will contain a -502 marking that will show that identify that it is these revised edition. You will also notice that the GTX 590 -502 has a new baseplate and shape that is different from the original. Expect all new third party solutions for this card.

Nvidia GTX 590 Reviewed, Benchmarks, Temperatures, Noise
Last Updated on Thursday, 24 March 2011 06:31 Written by Naota Thursday, 24 March 2011 04:17
At last Nvidia has release the GTX 590, and GTX 590 reviews are out! As I said in my previous article about the release information for the GTX 590,.
I hoped that Nvidia could conquer the issues that AMD had with the noise level. And guess what? They did.
There is however, much more to this story.

To be honest, that puts people like me in a bind. I am an Nvidia fanboy at heart, even though my current 4870×2 has done me wonders. In a few short words, I can tell you exactly what will effect your decision.
Choose the GTX 590 if….
- You want a quieter video card and aren’t using water cooling
- The 6990 is a little too big for your case
- You are an Nvidia fanboy
- You will make use of tesselation and other Nvidia specific enhancements
- You don’t want to do your own crossfire solution
Choose the Radeon HD 6990 if…
- You want better, scaleable performance
- You want to use slightly less power
- Noise isn’t an issue to you (if you are not using watercooling)
That is it in a nutshell. But in reality, both are good cards. If you want faster performance and better temps and noise, then choose to do your own crossfire solution. Otherwise, there you have it.

GeForce GTX 590 Release Date Pushed Back to March 24th

Click here to see the reviews of the GeForce GTX 590 *Updated*
—
We all have been waiting for the release of Nvidia’s flagship Fermi Model, the GTX 590. We have witnessed multiple delays at this point, and now we will witness one more. The GTX 590 will be released on March 24th now, so those of you who wanted to get your hands on this card will have to wait a little longer.
As we know, only Asus and EVGA will be the makers of this card in the USA. In other countries, this may not be the case.
Nvidia has employed a dual vapor chamber cooling solution with a single fan in the middle. In an uncommon move by Nvidia, the top of the card is removable, so that everything can be cleaned easily. Both GPUs will be on a single 12 layer 2oz PCB Board and will be downclocked. This will effectively lower power requirements, as well as heat produced by the unit. This unit will have the usual high end features – three DVI Outputs, 3D Vision Support, etc. Just like AMD’s 6990, you will need at least a 750w power supply to run this card. I would recommend that you have a power supply that is at least 80+ Plus Bronze.
Expect to see Nvidia face similar driver issues for a little while they work to get the kinks out. Just like AMD, both companies are surely rushing their product out.
Let’s hope NVidia is able to overcome the woes that is evident in AMD’s 6990. If Nvidia does, you will be sure to find a GTX 590 Review from us over here at Geek Montage.
And yes, the price is still unknown. A good rule of thumb is to take AMD’s price and add a little bit more to it.
Interestingly enough, Nvidia has just come out with a teaser video for a mystery announcement. You will be able to find what is in the “hidden box” within the next few days. I know I am wondering! Could it be the GTX590 or the GTX 600 series? I think so.
The official price of this card will be $699. This will allow it to be competitive with the 6990.

The Misunderstanding – Presented by AMD
Last Updated on Wednesday, 11 August 2010 05:19 Written by Naota Friday, 13 August 2010 05:14
It is no secret that Nvidia’s Fermi was a disappointment. It gave good performance, yes. However the temperatures and energy consumption levels that it operates at were some of the highest ever seen in video cards ever. Nvidia’s leading competitor, AMD decides to make fun of Nvidia’s Fermi in a video.
I found the video mildly funny. Enjoy!

Is the GeForce GTX 480 Hot Enough to Fry an Egg?
Last Updated on Thursday, 1 April 2010 01:51 Written by Naota Friday, 2 April 2010 12:00
LegitReviews went ahead and conducted a test to see if the infamously hot GTX 480 could fry an egg… You an see the results here.
I am pleased that they ran a benchmark to boost temperatures but am also disappointed they didnt run something more vigorous. I also think their open air environment gave even worse scores. But all the same… I appreciate that they took the time to address this question that many of their readers apparently had… for some reason.

Stock Predictions Update NVIDIA, AMD, JSDA
Last Updated on Wednesday, 3 March 2010 01:04 Written by Naota Wednesday, 3 March 2010 01:03
January 23rd, I wrote recommendations for three stocks to invest in. I am just now giving you an update on each one.
Jones Soda (JSDA) has gone from 55 cents to 70 cents a share. ( a 27.05% increase.)
AMD stock has had a 6.5% increase.
NVIDIA had a 2.2% increase. They will show a bigger increase when their next line of videocards is released. Depending on the success of their 400 Series (Fermi), they can either have large increases or modest ones.
Well it has been an exciting time in the stock market. I’ll come back with updates again.
