The Gainward GTX 580 3GB "Phantom" is supposed to be the fastest, coolest-running, and most efficient single GPU card on the market. It's giant heat sink and cooler allows for extreme overclocking headroom. It's 3GB of RAM will dominate 2560x1600 with maximum AA and still have room to boot!
The only problem is that it's about $800.
