I upgrade to the gtx 590 from a ATI Radeon 5970 and I be happy to say that I go from a 3dmark11 score of 6800 to 9k ! my framerate on bf3 go from a average of 35 to 75 ! I be very pleased with the performance of this card and while it be pricey , the game experience be worth every penny ! I hope that this card stay on top of the performance ranking for awhile so I do not have to buy a second unit and run they in SLI !
