@@slopfather3462 Hey, I have a laptop with similar specs- i5 10300h, 16 gigs dual channel and 1650 ti. GTA 5 in 1080p maxed out graphics with 2x MSAA- 50-65 fps Warzone in 1080p low- 50-70 fps Valorant in 1080p low, Anisotropic 16x, 4x MSAA, multithreaded rendering enabled and other options disabled- 180-210 fps Cyberpunk in 1080p ultra with 75% of static fidelityfx cas- 35-60 fps (Well I dont really care about fps in single player titles, even 25+ is fine for me)
I just reinstalled my gtx 690 into my old Alienware (i7 4960x, 32gb ram). I removed the 1070ti that was in it to add it to a new build for my daughter at uni... the 690 has been sat under my bed for the past three years or so now lol.
Wish SLI and Crossfire were better supported. The concept is cool. Maybe in the future it'll be more practical and efficient. Congrats on 250,000 RU-vid subscribers!
I previously owned the Gainward GTX590 and in its day, was a definitely a “Beast” in its day and was NOT a hot card despite the dual-GPU setup. Great flashback to some of my earlier gaming days. Thanks Kryzzp 🥰💥🥳🎉👍🥰 Awesome review!
I would try this one with a 4770k or 6700k. There was a fairly big jump in performance from the 3770k if I remember correctly. Might alleviate some of the bottlenecks you experienced.
If Nvidia had given their old dualchip cards double the vram like some X80 (580 3gb and 680 4gb) cards back then they would be much more usable. GTX Titan Z had 2x GTX 780ti 6gb (or Titan Black) for example. I miss SLI and Crossfire.
I assume the secondary chip needs his own memory when it it used for rendering and calculations. In that case it will be recognized by system as two graphic processing units.
Nice video! I noticed you mentioned a few times that the CPU was bottlenecking the GPU, but it was actually the other way around ^^ the GPUs were almost maxing out while the CPU wasn't really doing much. This CPU can be paired with something like a 2070/3060 and be a good balance. :)
Ah yes. so many memories. This used to be a dream GPU back in the day, unfortunately, I couldn't get my hands on it ever in my life. BUT, luckily a rich friend of mine back in the day just decided to show off his wealth and grab one to show it off. I remember the micro stutters that this thing had because of its Dual GPU setup. Was somewhat akin to the same stutters u got on SLI. At that time I was glad that I couldn't afford it because FPS was very valuable back in the day. XD
Could you test this with your 5900X? Would be interesting to see the results with less CPU bottleneck. Great job as always though, keep up the great work! :)
The ryzen PC doesn't boot with this GPU installed unfortunately... However, I think the main issue here is SLI, as the i7 did a much better job when paired with the GTX 970, and the 590 is slower than a 970! Thanks, will do!
@@zWORMzGaming Oh I see. Might be because it's a PCIe gen 2 card too. Some GPU architechtures can be also funny on the nvidia side. Can't wait for your next vid mate! :)
This was the 4090 of its day, just like the 1080 Ti was and other iconic, unobtainable cards of their time. It was the card PC gamers were drooling over. I remember being gifted a 1080 ti 2 years after release (more like payment for helping a friend build a 30x 1080 ti mining rig) and it felt awesome. The 4090 is that card now but years from now it'll be viewed the same way as the 590. These are the cards that took a massive leap over anything available at the time. Not to leave out AMD or ATI at the time, the Radeon 9800 was one of these cards as well.
I love to see Ur video when I m eating,when I going to sleep also when I wake up ,I mean every time I saw Ur video and it's like a drug to me , I can't avoid Ur video whenever I see,love u soo much man ,love from india
Hey Kryzzp! Amazing video again, and the gtx 590 is surely better than the 580 or such but i still don't recommend buying it as you said that its only capable of playing sli games since its a dual gpu.
The 590 was a fucking monster when it came out. Scary how quickly it went from god tier to pretty meh and way too power hungry for the performance it gets, no doubt well be saying the same about the RTX 3090 and Ryzen 3900 in about a decade lol I also have no idea why they went for a single fan, I know the windforce and zotac versions came with two fans and they ran SO much better, it’s honestly baffling that they never realised the extra fan was so important when they were developing the fan thing!
Back in 2012 I mined about 0.7BTC on this card in about 2 weeks, my only regret is I didn't keep mining a while longer. It was only worth like $10 back then lol
GTA V does scale well indeed. I remember having a 970 SLI back in the day and it ran perfectly with it, even with a cheap Pentium G4560 (2c/4t Kaby Lake) CPU.
The second atempt of Nvidia to shine in the sli world. We needed all of the horse power to run games like crysis,crysis 2 metro 2033 witch this gpu was not very good the sales were not good. But its a cool colector item.
I had a Gainward Phantom 3GB version of the GTX 580. That beast was also very toasty. Didn't really run much better than this tbh. Got a Much more efficient RTX 2060 to play with now.
365 watts cooled in this form factor? that thing is borderline low profile dont get me started on the singular fan. You should do a video there zip tie two good cpu coolers and overclock, see what kind of performance you get.
I've noticed one thing though the nicer and more high-end cards seem to fail these days the older graphics card lasted for like ever. GPU cost more with a better graphic experience. But cheaply made really sad 😔 One of my favorite gaming cards is the SAPPHIRE NITRO Radeon R9 Fury 4GB HBM PCI Express 3.0 x16 TRI-X OC+ (UEFI) with three fans this card works very well with the AMD Ryzen 1600 I have not seen any bottlenecks with this PC rig. And also crossfire ready so you can use two of them together. And yes I know the card is power hungry but still a awesome graphics card. Some people compare this card to the GTX 980 TI or the G-Force GTX Titan X all are a pretty close match.
hey kryzzp, you should invest in a better capture card because idk why the game footage looks a lil 360-480p even though i'm seeing it at 1080p, but that's all. Really like your vids
I cannot believe that Zotac cheapened out on the cooling. One fan on a single GPU card is pretty low and two fans on a high-end card is still pushing it but one on a dual GPU? That damn thing has to be a nuke
I have something that can top the stupidity of the GTX590... I'm the proud owner (from Nov 2010 onwards) of an x58 based, Core i7-980x (@ 4.13Ghz all core) with 24GB of DDR3-1600 (XMP profile) running dual EVGA GTX580's in SLI (all plugged into a Corsair AX1200). It's a literal space heater - at full tilt, this machine pulls (according to my killawatt and my UPS) over 1000 watts from the wall. It's the single stupidest, most absurdly expensive machine I've ever built (in my 26 years of building my own desktops), and almost 11 years later, I still absolutely love the dumb thing. It might be obsolete, it borders on being a root cause of climate change, it (at times) sounds like a rack of proliant servers... but, by god, it COULD play Crysis, and it could do it with settings turned up to 11. My current 5950x/RTX3080 rig simply can't compete with the absurdity of the old beast and it's completely insane dual 580 SLI setup. I'll never scrap it, I'll probably will it to my (as yet to be born) grandkids, decades from now, with a mandate that it never be disassembled (except for repairs). As a hardcore nerd, the thing is just freakin cool.
I just built a FX 4350/GTX 580 based build for my sister today. she's only gonna be playing Minecraft and Roblox, so I don't think there's gonna be an issue there.
@@zWORMzGaming I used to use this GTX 580 in my main PC, and can say that it can run some low end shaders quite nicely at around 30 fps. Older version of the game, but I'm sure she'll be happy with it. We've got a 1366x768 monitor though so that helps. I think the real bottleneck in this machine is the 250GB 7200RPM HDD, had no spare SSDs so that's the best I could do for now. This machine isn't permanent and the fact that I pulled the 4350 and the motherboard from a scrap PC for free, will out way the extra power costs. I put this thing together for about £100, so not bad for what it can do. Sorry for writing a huge wall of text lol...
