If you really wanted a proper SLI solution, 2 x GTX 580 3GB should have been your choice.

Not to mention that GTX 590 has a cheap power regulation, so I wouldn't recommend any OC - especially no 24/7 OC.




Not sure I understand this - do you mean DDR2/DDR3??

First - I am meanwhile aware of the GT 590 characteristics. Unfortunately, the 3 GB 580 is no option at the moment because of no market availability. So I am stuck with 1,5 GB 580 or 590. Second - the 590 promises a lot of potential due to its SLI design. Third - it is not noisy. Forth, it consumes a lot less power than 580 .... ?!! So - even it seems to be the worse choice at the moment, I will stick with it now. My PC seller told me, that I may change the card within a few months, if not satisfied, so what ...

Concerning RAM, its DDR3 ....
