NVIDIA is releasing a the dual-GPU GeForce GTX 590 at 9 am (EDT) on Thursday, March 24th. Rumor is that the GTX 590 will have 1024 cores (512 per GPU), 128 texture units (64 per GPU), 96 ROPS (48 per GPU), and 3 GB of GDDR5 memory (1.5 GB per GPU). The memory bus width is 384 bits. It has two 8 pin power connectors, each of which can deliver 150 Watts. It can also draw up to 75 Watts from the PCIe connector. Rumor is that it will draw 375 Watts, just like the Radeon HD 6990.

PCInLife has posted some pictures of the ASUS GTX 590 which provide some additional details. The ASUS GTX 590 has 3 DVI outputs and 1 Mini DisplayPort output. Ozone3D fills in some more missing details by saying that the GPU will be clocked at 613 MHz (slower than the 580′s 722 MHz), the memory will be clocked at 855 MHz (slower than the 580′s 1.004 GHz) and the shaders will be clocked at 1.225 GHz (slower than the 580′s 1.544 GHz). The memory bandwidth will be 164.2 GB/second. The Pixel fillrate is 29.4 billion pixels per second. The Texture fillrate is 39.2 billion texels per second. TechPowerUp has a picture showing that the ASUS GTX 590 is shorter than the Radeon HD 6990.

The Nvidia GeForce GTX is rumored to cost $799. Rumors on the benchmarks show that it is slower than the Radeon HD 6990. Given the clock speeds, it will be slower than two 580′s in SLI. Tomorrow we will find out for sure what the benchmarks really are.

The Nvidia GTX 590 is due to be unveiled tomorrow at PAX East, which is a three-day game festival for tabletop, video, and PC gamers. Last year, Nvidia released the GTX 470 and GTX 480 on the first day of PAX East 2010. Rumor is that the GTX 590 will have 1024 cores, 128 texture units, 96 ROPS, and 3 GB memory. It has two 8 pin power connectors, each of which can deliver 150 Watts. It can also draw up to 75 Watts from the PCIe connector. Rumor is that it will draw 375 Watts, just like the Radeon HD 6990. I am curious to see if it will be as power hungry as the Radeon HD 6990 when it is overclocked. An overclocked 6990 can sonsume upwards of 500 Watts.

However, Expreview is reporting that the actual release date for the GTX 590 will be March 22nd. What else is being released on March 22nd? Crysis 2.

PAX East is a three-day game festival for gamers. Gamers includes tabletop, video, and PC gamers. PAX East will take place in Boston, MA from March 11-13. Tom’s Hardware is reporting that the NVIDIA GTX 590 will be released at PAX East. If you remember last year, Nvidia released the GTX 470 and GTX 480 on the first day of PAX East 2010. One can resonably expect then, that the GTX 590 will be released on March 11th.

Like the Radeon HD 6990, the NVIDIA GTX 590 will be a dual GPU card. Therefore one can surmise that the GTX 590 will have simply double the number of cores, texture units, ROPS, and memory. If that is the case, then the 590 will have 1024 cores, 128 texture units, 96 ROPS, and 3 GB memory. GPU core speeds and memory speeds are unknown at this time. However, to minimize the power draw and the heat generated, they are likely to be slower than the GTX 580 which has a 772 MHz GPU core speed and 4.008 GHz memory speed.
