Anyone buying a new video card at this point (two weeks) is making a mistake - unless they have a casualty or really old old card.

If you've waited this long, why not hold on until say the 26th?

Then, as the "gnashing of teeth" and "rending of garments" continues - you'll get to hear and see screenshots.

Plus, nobody on these forums (other than developers) have any idea of the exact graphics config in the sim. We don't know yet, for example if there will be "Nvidea water or ATI water/textures/reflections/shadows" or whatever....

Soon, someone will invoke the Mayan calander.... I just know it's coming....

S!

Listen to wise old Monk grasshoppers... Patience, Patience...

I'll be pulling the trigger on a completely new system from the ground up..... AFTER I read the reviews and get the feedback.

Btw - 26th march nvidia is releasing the 590gtx

-In any case I would go 500 series imo, they run cooler - use less power and can OC better. I just got a 580 via evga stepup for $15 (not joking, just paid price differance and shipping = EVGA rocks ).

Nothing, my CPU is liquid cooled with two 120mm exhausts on top. When I'll add a second 6990 I may reconsider.

Should have waited to see how GTX 590 performs.

Well when i built my first rig, it had a 7300GT, then in the next upgrade i chose a 7600GT fatality with this one could enjoy il2 at max settings, then i was thinking on buy the 9800GX2, but then i changed my mind cause i read a lot about noise and heat on those ones so i chose the 9800GTX+, always my cards has been Nvidia products, always said i never going to buy ATI, since the
last ATI generation with the 5800 series i started to think about it, so in the last upgrade i chose ATI and i bought the HD 6970, i nothing more than happy
with it the card can max out everything, i'm now playing eyecandy games like
Crysis 2 demo, and runs so smooth, even had no probs with rise of flight, so
in now days ATI and Nvidia are even, what ever you chose will be a good choise 6970, 580, etc.

Are you saying that GTX 590 will have eyefinity and will be able to connect to my HD TV at the same time?
