Thoughts on the GTX 590?
What are your general thoughts on the GTX 590, I've got one lying around.
What do you think it scales compared to todays cards, and what do you think the price is now?

The GTX 590 is just slightly faster than the GTX 680, with a little less V-ram (1536Mbx2) compared to the GTX 680 which haves either 2048Mb or 4096Mb.
It got heat problems and consumes a lot of power.
a GTX 690 drains less power.
For the power the 590 have, it's about the same as a 770 or a 680. So somewhere around $320?

Its still pretty strong, basically 2x gtx 570 in SLI. You might run into lack of vram at high resolutions or high levels of AA, but its still got a lot of power for modern games.

I would say £100 / $160
