Well I did not know the 590 was just that. And I don’t see myself spending $700 in a gpu… ever! But these cards are supposed to be faster than any SLI or Crossfire combinations you can make because all of the communication between the gpus is internal and thus faster. I think I may be going for a 570 whenever I have the money if it’s still a good choice.

That’s not always true. Most dual gpu cards are downclocked a little bit, which means that two individual gpus would run faster (as long as they were the same gpu). I don’t know if the gpus on this card are clocked the same or not as a single 6870 though.

Nvidia has the GTX590 but seriously DO NOT get a dual gpu card, they run hot, they’re loud, and they’re overpriced.
Also even though ATI(AMD now) and Nvidia are about even now, AMD cards are still better for the price imo

Yea, we used the 5D. It’s about time we got it too, time for “real” videos.

Also as this is my first post I should probably mention that I’m the Cameraman/Editor, among other things.

welcome!

Hey man, welcome!

Does Nvidia have a dual gpu card on the market? I am not buying Ati for my next card because of the Crysis 2 DX11 update problems and some other stuff. But I was wondering since I’ve never heard of a dual gpu card from them. It’s weird.

well there is the 590 for Nividia if I’m not mistaken it is two down-clocked 580s on a single card
