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.

Well... 580 is in a different league than 6970. But if you enjoy "coil whine" and have an outstandingly good air cooled case, then 6970 is a good card.

AMD/ATI 5XXX series > Nvidia 4XX series

AMD/ATI 6XXX series < Nvidia 5XX series

If the GTX 590 proves to be cooler and quieter than 6990, the choice is obvious.

Maybe with the next lineup AMD will get their act together.

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

It won't have Eyefinity, but it will have 3D Vision. With up to 4 monitors / displays you can hook on it IIRC.

I went for an ati 6950. Will try for the bios tweak to unlock the extra shaders when i have cod.

Seems the 590 will have lower power consumption, but also lower performance than the 6990, still has to be confirmed though
