Overclocking the GeForce GTX 590

Racing Game

DiRT 2

Setting : 1920×1080; DirectX 11; Quality Preset-Ultra; No-AA

Power Consumption

An overclocked GTX 590 consumes an awful lot of power, up to 500 watts and beyond. This is to be expected with a double-GPU graphics card such as the GTX 590, whose two GF110 chips have a combined amount of 6 billion transistors.

Temperature

With the fan running at maximum speed, we managed to keep the temperature below 80 degree Celsius. We also noticed that the fan is relatively silent, even when maxed out.
