*Triple Monitor Gaming: GeForce GTX 590 vs. Radeon HD 6990*

With the release of the dual-GPU AMD Radeon HD 6990, closely followed by the

competing Nvidia GeForce GTX 590 we saw graphics card performance reach new

heights. With bandwidth throughput in excess of 300GB/s, these cards can

consume more power than entire computer systems. Moreover, the two GPUs on

board of either product are so complex that combined make up for 11,000

million transistors.

 

By utilizing three monitors games can become roughly 3x more demanding as

the graphics card is required to render an overwhelmingly higher number of

pixels. Whereas we commonly test graphics cards at single monitor

resolutions of 1680x1050 (22”), 1920x1200 (24”) and 2560x1600 (30”), today

we are taking these and adding two more LCD monitors for effective

resolutions of 5040x1050, 5760x1200 and 7680x1600.

 

Thank you.
