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.

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.
