Just ordered a new rig, it'll be here next week:

Intel Core i5-2500k 3.5ghz (overclocked to 4.5ghz)
Gigabyte GTX 560ti 1gb 1ghz (super overclocked version)
Corsair XMS3 4gb 1600mhz
Asus P8P67 PRO Motherboard

I'm fairly confident I'll be able to run it on high.

Hey guys, I need some insight on this.

Will a GTX 590 work on an AMD chipset? I know that NVIDIA doesn't support SLI on AMD chipsets as of late, but the way the GTX 590 works is pretty much two GTX 580 cores put together on a single card and runs together with a form of SLI - but it is all on one x16 PCIe lane instead of the normal two lanes for two physical video cards in SLI.

Since I have the GTX 570 already and that works just fine I would assume that even though the 590 runs on two gpu's, it would still work since in the end its all on one slot.

I have searched for an answer but I need a conformation of this since I have heard conflicting things. If anyone has the GTX 295 and that works on the AMD boards without a forceware modification, let me know!

I need to know this before I drop $800 - 900 for this card when it comes out, so assistance would be greatly apreciated. :)

Yes it would. But seriously, why are you spending that much! You'd be far better off buying a new motherboard supporting SLi properly (some still exist) and two gtx560's! It'd be far more powerful too.

The GTX 590 will be two GTX 580 GPU's together on one card with 1024 CUDA cores and 3GB of vRAM.


The GTX 590 will also be cheaper than putting two 580s in SLI, and I don't know where you come to the point that two 560s would be just as fast? Two 560s would get me less than half the performance a 590 will.

Besides that point, no modern AMD motherboard supports SLI on the 890FX Northbridge, and that is the nb I needed anyway for overclocking.

Intel Core Duo E7400 2.8GHz
2GB DDR2
ATI Sapphire HD 3850 512MB DDR3
Windows Vista Home Premium 32-bits

I want to know if that extra 1GB needed for Vista will affect my gameplay? Because I can't afford a new rig right now.
I plan on playing in window mode at 1280x720.
Thanks in advance

A picture is worth a thousand words :
I must now make hole for the wires to be hidden behind the motherboard tray and paint the interior black

I think buying a new case might be better, like a CM690 II, all holes a drilled and the interior is black, for a avery a affordable price.

Is it custom built? How much did it cost you?
Indeed, custom built. With the case, psu, cpu cooler, fans/fan controller, keyboard, and windows 7 it cost around £850.
