Actually... the GTX 590 is the single most powerful GPU out right now... AFAIK anyway. It's also incredibly expensive - for its price in my country, I could build three decent & complete Pentium Dual-core computers ;)

However, everything that was needed to be suggested, already got it. So good luck, eh? :P

Isn't it $850 or some absolutely unnecesary price like that?

$800!

However, the 6990 HD looks to be even more powerful. And it's also $800, haha.


GTX 590 is just GTX 580 X 2 at a lower clock speed...same GPU and not a sinlge GPU, so its correct to say 5870 is the strongest single GPU on the market. 590 is a beast of a card but it doesn't scale very well if you ad 2 of them.

For some reason GTX 580 X 3 will smoke GTX 590 X2 (which is GTX 580 X4)

So damn confusing. But heck, I'm not a man to do SLI or crossfire, so I'm not gonna go for any of them... already got a build w/a single 560ti for me, should be enough for decent gfx @ 60fps.

And the latter is... just weird. Must be a big difference in clock speeds I guess? I'm a real noob as to how to compute gfx card perfomance.
