Penny Arcade Expo (PAX) was held last weekend, and Nvidia somehow went quite aggressive in this event. Unlike the gigantic E3 event that’s industry-insiders only, PAX is directed more towards end-users, and it’s gaining more popular among manufacturers. Nvidia didn’t only bring their Tegra 2 products for demo during PAX 2011, but they also launched their much awaited dual-GPU Fermi card, the GeForce GTX 590. Sadly, that’s the only information that we have at the moment, as Nvidia has yet to disclose the specification and price.

One important thing about the GTX 590 is that it’s going to be limited to just two vendors in US, and that is Asus and EVGA. Other manufacturers will be making GTX590 products but those will only be available outside of the U.S. When being asked by Tom’s Hardware why it’s limited to only two vendors, they’re given a rather dull answer that is “it was planned this way.” Probably a very low yield, and besides, this card has a very small market anyway.

We’ll be waiting for Nvidia’s official statement about this, so stay tune.
