Review � NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 is yet the fastest graphics card

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 is here and it is here to step in for the Radeon HD 6990 on a podium of the fastest graphics card in world. It obviously won�t be there for long � either AMD of NVIDIA itself will send some else to take it down. But for now it�s there and doesn�t Quad SLI look beautiful with it. Mind you, Quad SLI requires just two of GTX 590s, not four.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 is dual-core. The GPUs primarily belong to its elderly sister GTX 580 but they are underclocked on the way to make cooling a bit less tricky. The GeForce GTX 590 also claims to be the quietest graphics card with a fan. Anyway, specs follow.
