GTX590 or GTX680

Post by sneaker-78- »

Ok,

I know i need a new videocard that can "handle" my matrox setup , and the first videocard i ran into was teh GTX590 i thought 3gb was just perfect.
but now i saw some reviews about the GTX680 and it was a bit faster then te GTX590 .. but it has 2gb.

So my question what is the best to buy?

Just to let you know the "3GB" of Vram is total ram, not the actual amount of ram used to do any work. Each GPU only get 1.5GB of VRAM in a 590. a GTX 680 will get all 2GB. I'd buy a 680 over a 590.
