GeForce GTX 590 Key Features Revealed

Value or price for performance has always been the main objective for AMD, which is not quite the same for nVidia. With both having different buisness models it seems almost unnecessary at times to place both competitors in the same event, or in other words, to consider them in quite the same race.
 
Now back on topic, I am actually seriously considering getting one of these, as ATI's drivers do not seem to want to work for me, and as I haven't used an nVidia card in a while would like to see how their drivers fare. I am not at all bothered by heat, noise or power consumption, as the former two will be solved with watercooling whereas the latter will be solved by a new PSU if necessary :) If this card does turn out to be one of the best cards around then awesome, if not then I simply won't be purchasing it, I won't negate the purchasing enjoyment for others, as it is simply their money to spend as they will, on stuff that *they* want and not something that has been almost quite literally rammed down their throats :)

Anyone seen this?


Interesting, they ran AvP at 1020 but i couldnt find anyone running at that. 1200 is nearest and with that they have a single 580 scoring 70fps average aswell so their graph might be representative of their results. 580 SLI is about 25fps faster at that resolution and 6990 11fps faster.
