When it comes to pricing the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 3GB video card is priced at $699.99, which is $10 less than the AMD Radeon HD 6990 4GB video card as they run $709.99 online. With both cards priced so close together and the gaming performance benchmarks also being split between the two depending on the title it really comes down to what features you want and what drivers that you've had the better luck with. We love the fact that you can hook up three monitors with this card and run 3D Vision Surround with just one card. Before this card you always had to run an SLI setup, so for those that run multiple monitors this is a better solution. With stereoscopic 3D, PhysX and tons of CUDA applications this card should be on the short list to buy if you want the ultimate in single card performance. It should also be noted that NVIDIA is only allowing ASUS and EVGA to sell GeForce GTX 590 cards in North America as they are the two best selling brands in this area.

1. That costs more than my computer.

And this computer is the most expensive one I've put together.
Phenom II 1090T BE OC'd to 4 GHz, 8Gb DDR3 1600MHz RAM, MSI 870A-G54 mb, NVidia 9500GT video card, Corsair HC-50 liquid cooling, 2 1 Tb hard drives, 2 24X DVD-RW, Running a well tweaked Windows XP X64 (boots in under 30 seconds)

2. Just sold a HD4850 on EBay

got a 5830 from Newegg......should be more than enough for another year......$700 for a video card is nuts, NOTHING made will play that much better even if you have a $6000 computer....

4. Well, you're guaranteed sixty frames or more per second out of pretty much everything

with all settings at "high" or "ultra". I guess it's worth it if you want that level of performance.

With a single card. Wow, just wow. I might have to take a look a the cards a couple steps down from this one; one of my cards is having fan issues and I think it's slowly killing itself. SLI was fun and novel for a while, but there are single cards out there now that far outperform the two I have in my PC.

Still, I got 60fps out of Portal 2, so I guess it's still nothing to sneeze at. The machine is showing its age, though.
