I am going to be building a custom gaming desktop. Most likely will have an i7-2600k. I am wondering if you guys have an opinion on which is a better choice: a GTX-580 or 2 x 6950 2gb in crossfire (considering both stability and value-for-money)? |

Wish I knew a lot more about graphics cards but I only know the basics. I always feel hesitant to buy a high-end one as the prices go down fast...well that and lack of money. |

I would say go with the Nvidia. The 590 has two GPUs in it. Think of it has getting two 580s. If you have the cash to get a 580 I would instead get the 590. I have also heard that SLI/Crossfire does not always double your FPS. |

Thank you. I have also heard that Crossfire/SLI can be "fiddly". I will look into the 590. |
