Not quite there AMD ! Seems like de GTX580 will be the beast to fly SOW at release time ...

Well it's unlikely the 580 will be the fasted card when SOW is released, since the 6990 should be out by then. But if youy want a signle gpu, and have loadsa money, 580 should be the best.

I wouldn't bother with Toms Hardware anymore - was great some years ago, but was bought out and reviews have gone downhill. Particularly nvidia vs ATI/AMD.

I know what brand of card I'll be buying for SoW.

Indeed, the lack of support from AMD is rubbish (I wonder if emails not returned can be linked to the AMD ATI takeover - staff more worried about their jobs than helping a developer at the time?). But we won't really know what's best until release time - it'll be a DX11 game after all, so it should run equally on either brand, as long as AMD eventually catch up and work with Oleg.
