Radeon HD 6990 pictured, GeForce GTX 590 rumored for PAX East 2011 reveal
The GPU race is about to heat up again between AMD and NVIDIA (who else?). Pictures of the new all-in-one crossfire AMD Radeon HD 6990 card are surfacing on the web to tease those that have been awaiting its arrival. Meanwhile, the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 is expected to be announced at the PAX East 2011 gamer gathering that kicks off the end of next week on March 11.
Multiple cores are old hat, particularly in the GPU world where you can have hundreds of simultaneous processing units working in concert, but multiple GPUs on the same PCB, that’s still exciting territory (not least because of the crazy thermal and power requirements that go with it). AMD and NVIDIA are set to clash horns on this field of battle once again, fishing for mindshare as much as they are for high premium sales, with the Radeon HD 6990 and GeForce GTX 590, respectively.
