Evga 590 Classified...should I buy it?

[Bighairyman]

Fry's has one Evga 590 classified left in stock for $650. Should I buy that or go with (2) 570s? I play at 1920x1200 at 8x AA 16x AF. If I went with 570s then they would be sandwiched together and I'm worried they would be significantly louder than the 590 (noise is important to me).

No way. I've been hearing nothing but horror stories about the GTX590.

If it's too loud then turn up your speakers.

Not a good idea to run cards in SLI without at least one slot of space between them. 650's a pretty good price for a 590 if you want to roll the dice on one, there have been alot of reports of spectacular failure with those cards though. Have you considered one of these: http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814130626&Tpk=gtx%20460%202win

Beats the 580 and costs less, if your motherboard slots are spaced so that SLI isn't really an option I think it would be a good choice.
