These 580 3-GB cards tick all the boxes:

CUDA + PhysX + Wide mem buffer + Lots of ram = awesome card.

Great card, it has a custom power circuitry that allow massive overclock and the cooler is very efficient.

I looked at that one but it was another £100. I didn't think it was that much better than the one I'm getting, and I'm sure it will be enough. I'll prob get another down the track with the SLI option.

There's no difference on performance at default, only cooler noise, temp and overclocking capabilities
