Plus AMD/ATI drivers are a nightmare.
BS. That story gets old. Also a typical Nvidia owner response towards newer 'competing' AMD cards.

I can confirm that the AMD Linux drivers are a proper dogs' dinner, haha. As for Windows ones, never had a problem at all, except for the Catalyst Control Centre being a real heap of crap. Oh yeah, and the big phase where Il-2 had various visual artifacts and the like, but hey, 10 year old game.

Well, considering I have machines running both Nvidia and ATI cards...
I'll never buy another AMD/ATI video card. Nothing but troubles.. and I hear the same thing from my flight sim friends with ATI. They are fine if you just want to tinker with Office applications... wont have one for gaming. My nvidia cards/drivers never seem to have an issue... but always running into little "things" with ATI.
And I know my way around a computer as well.. not like I buy compaq gaming rigs. I build my own.
Will be building a new machine just for COD.. and she'll be running Nvidia.

Maybe, I just remember a personal nightmare with them from a few years ago. They may of improved them alot since then, I have not tried them out so I am just going from older experience and what people are saying.
Also I am not bashing them for the sake of it, nvidia does plenty of things wrong too.

Seems the 590 will have lower power consumption, but also lower performance than the 6990, still has to be confirmed though
