Any ideas on the best GTX 590 card to buy?

I'm thinking about getting the Point of View GTX 590 but want to hear opinions first :)
 
Aren't they all the same refrence design?

Very short supply at the moment.

This is the entire OcUK listing for the GTX 590:

GTX 590

There were stories that the card was being redesigned. I'm not sure if this is true or not.
 
All GTX 590s were recalled when I spoke to OC on the phone. They said it was an overheating problem. (Many vids on Youtube with them sparking)
 
yeh, i saw a few 'GTX 590 blowup' sort of vids on youtube, think i'll wait for the revision version to come out, sometime this month it says.
 
After the huge flop that the 590 was, why would they even waste the time to revise them?
I think Nvidia left a sour taste in lots of customers mouths, from the videos it was clear the 590 had problems which should have been picked up long before the release of the card, in fact I think the issues were probably known already, but Nvidia pushed the release of the 590 ahead anyway. I don't see why anyone would trust this card, even after a revision.
 
Also, dont know if anyone will know, but will there be ASUS and Point Of View versions of the revised GTX 590?
