ASUS MARS II/2DIS/3GD5 GeForce GTX 580 x2 (Fermi) 3072MB 384-bit x2 GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card $1499.99

If you have no budget at all and want the best this would be it. Problem is the price is unrealistic and it takes up 3 slots.

EVGA 03G-P3-1593-AR GeForce GTX 580 (Fermi) Classified Hydro Copper 3072MB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card $729.99

At a more reasonable price If you have water cooling this is the card to get , if you don't have water cooling then you would get the fan cooled one ;

EVGA 03G-P3-1588-AR GeForce GTX 580 (Fermi) Classified 3072MB 384-bit GDDR5 PCI Express 2.0 x16 HDCP Ready SLI Support Video Card $599.99

Currently it out of stock but well worth waiting for the card comes factory clocked at 855mhz and will go much higher , at least 1000mhz .

You did not list any of the components of your computer so there is no way to tell if you can add this to it.

The Nvidia GTX590 3gb By far!
Just get a better Gpu fan then you have a problem free gpu

Radeon software have allot more bugs than Nvidia

I'd recommend the 590 as well:

You'll be severely CPU bottlenecked in some situations with a 590 (or even a 580), any plans to upgrade any time soon?

so 590 is better then 6990 ?

 

[cuecuemore]

The 590 is marginally better than the 6990. If anyone tells you otherwise, it's because they're remembering back to the days when the 590 was first released and everyone reviewed it on terrible drivers. As a result, it looked like the 6990 stomped it in everything. If you looked at a 590 review that's been done in the last six months (essentially anytime after the first week of its release) you'd see that it trades blows with the 6990 and edges it out in a few tests.

EDIT: Also the 590 is quieter than the 6990, not quiet in comparison to a 560 or 6850 though.

You haven't told us why you're looking to buy the best graphics card, so everyone has just answered your specific question.

Don't know your planned screen resolution, but your mobo supports cf so a second 5870 might be one approach to consider.

iv sold my 5870, so i dunno havent bought a screen yet, but i guess im gonna play at full res

hell cuecuemore said, You should get a new cpu too otherwise your new best gpu will not be worth it if it gets bottlenecked by your processor
