Just three days after the launch of Nokia's new dual GPU: GeForce GTX590. Colleagues from TechPower Power and SoyoClickers have seen their graphics go through:
GTX590 and GTX580 PCB
This may be a bit of a relevant statistic, but already at a glance, we can see in a comparative picture between a Gtx 580 and a Gtx 590 PCB that each of the two GTX 590 GPUs has a lower phase and these are significantly smaller than the reference GTX 580. Hopefully, things like this or the resulting production cost savings are not the cause of such horrific "explosions".
It is too early to speculate or speculate, of course, because we do not yet know the real cause of the problem. Problems with drivers? Design error? Savings in production costs as a result of using bad materials? At the moment, Nodia accuses it of bad circulation with dangerous voltages and inadequate drivers. Including 1.2V vs. default voltage of 0.9 to 0.96V), and older drivers with lower levels of protection.
Rest assured that the GTX590 works reliably at default voltages. And our 267.84 launch drivers provide an extra level of protection for over-clickers. For more information on overclocking and overcurrent protection on the GTX590, please see our Knowledge Base article here:
Press Report Given dead GTX 590 cards with dangerous levels (up to 1.2V) to dangerous levels (default between 1.9V to 0.96 to 0.96V) use low level for safety combined with older drivers Overcurrent Comfort Assurance that the GTX590 is capable of operating at its default voltages. Trust offers the operation, and our 267.84 drivers offer an extra level of protection for over cyclists. And they can solve these problems through drivers. Whatever the final outcome, we will keep you informed
