NVIDIA has been preparing the bi-GPU GeForce GTX 590 for a few months now, ready to do battle with the AMD Radeon HD 6990. Out of the question to allow the competition to parade itself at the top of the graphics card classifications, especially after being vanquished by the Radeon HD 5970 last time out. With less successful handling of energy consumption, NVIDIA’s task was a tough one but they were nevertheless able to take advantage of successive AMD delays to hone their drivers and adapt the positioning of the GeForce GTX 590 to the performances of the Radeon HD 6990. Will there be a clearcut winner in this duel? To answer this question we put the cards through our test at standard resolutions, in surround and 3D Vision, without forgetting heat management and noise levels…
