1 min read

Nvidia has introduced what it claims is the world's fastest and quietest dual graphics card.

Powered by dual Nvidia Fermi class gpus on a single card, the GTX 590 is designed for those looking to build the ultimate pc gaming rig according to Drew Henry, general manager of the company's GeForce gpu business. "With a combined 1024 Nvidia CUDA architecture cores, 3GB of GDDR5 memory, 6billion transistors and more than 2200 individual components in an 11in dual slot card, the GTX 590 delivers 32 tessellation engines that can power today's cutting edge DX11 games at resolutions of 2560 x 1600 and higher," he said. With four separate video outputs on each card, the GTX 590 also allows consumers to configure their pc with four independent displays, or span their gaming across three 3d displays at a resolution up to 5760 x 1080. Other features include a special cooling system and dual vapour chambers. Gamers can increase their pc's gaming performance by adding a second GeForce GTX 590 for a Quad SLI gaming mode. "With leading performance, support for multi monitor 3d gaming, Quad SLI and an acoustic envelope that begs to be heard for how quiet it is, the GTX 590 epitomises what a perfect dual graphics card looks, performs, and sounds like," concluded Henry.
