I think brands are usually defined on warranty and customer service, so if you want a decent warranty length, then go with a brand with a good warranty and that is also known for good customer service.

I know a few, Arc@css stated them though.
If you don't mind the cost then one of the better 3gb versions, though I see it's pre-order atm, ETA 09/09.

That's probably thee card right now, about as good as it gets for a single gpu - for now.

I've got a pair of 8800GTX's with your name on it Rob
You know you want them Go 6990, then afterwards you'll have more sense than money, rather than your current situ... £700 on a card, dear me

At least my system is not crashing everytime I start up BFBC2 Paul
Just had another thought, I am not really into overclocking gfx cards. one GTX 590 is better then one GTX 580. 2 GTX 590's are better (slightly) then 2 GTX 580's. I know that 3 GTX 580s are definitely better then 2 GTX 590's. But I really dont want to use 3 cards.
If I am not overclocking and dont have future plans for 3 cards (Only 2) Then technically the 590 is a better purchase? The 590s only explode if the card is overclocked right?

We have advised you to stay the hell away from the 590...if you won't take our advise seriously, I don't think anyone would bother much more in trying to help you...
Simply put, no matter what option you should go for, one thing for sure is under no circumstance should 590 be part of the equation.

No need to get uppity. I am merely sorting out the options. The 590 has only blown its load when overclocked. As far as a single card is concerned, going by just the numbers it has better performance then the 580. I asked for opinions in the first place because I am undecided. The only reason people have given me to stay away from the 590 is because it has a thermal problem when overclocked. I am not going to overclock any graphics card.
I am taking your advice onboard, but I need to make sure the card I go for is the correct one for my needs and not what you consider "best for you"
My needs being, great performance on a single card. Thats the best for my budget.

If you're keeping the 280 to use for PhysX then why not go for a 6990? I'm sure by the time you care the 3d options will be much of a muchness for ATI and Nvidia.

Aye, I would go for the 6990 and then chuck water-cooling on it
I have a thread linked in my sig if you need any help with water-cooling. I would definitely recommend it to keep the temps and the noise levels down, I love my kit
