About Me:
 
My name is Linus Sebastian, and I'm the host of NCIX Tech Tips. I've worked for NCIX.com for the better part of two years, and was chosen for the role of "video spokesperson" because of the passion I have for computer hardware, all the way from mainstream parts for grandma to the bleeding edge components for the xtreme gamers and media enthusiasts out there. I want to share my passion, and make it simpler and more accessible for everyone.

@Phamdomacan

Performance isn't affected by choosing a third party vendor. Unless noted it will almost always concern a reference card: the way amd meant the card to be configured.

Base your choice on extra's you get with different third party vendors. I for one would choose XFX for their Double warranty which means that the person who will one day maybe buy the card from you also gets warranty on his card. Most vendors will tell you what you get and won't get out of the box.

and about the ' supports m ore displays" yeah..multi monitor setups would be AWESOME..if i could GET RID of the annoying bezels. Until then...YOU COULDN'T PAY ME TO GAME on a multi monitor setup. It gets in my way. give me a 27 or 30" led back lit 2560 x1600 2ms monitor ANYDAY over a multi monitor setup. oh retail regular boxed gtx590 is 10 to 20. bucks more than 6990. not big enough to call it more expensive depending on my experiences with nvidia drivers=ftw

stefanozurich. Linus did a comparisonvideo on the gtx590 vs hd6990. the gtx590 on 60% or more of the total games Linus tested at 1980x1080 and 2560x1600 resolutions all eye candy maxed BEAT the 6990 whether by a decent margin=more than 8 fps in the mid 50's fps zone, or by a smaller margin. to me...a smaller margin ( win or loss by no more than 5 fps in 50's fps zone) is a tie. I cannot see a performance degradation difference from 59 fps to 54 also. price ( continued

DEAR LINUS!, I WANT YOU TO STRESS TEST YOUR GPU'S  ESPECIALLY GTX 4870 GPU
stefanozurich (2 days ago)
whih graphics card would you choose out of the gtx 590 and the hd 6990? the hd 6990 sounds like a better deal, its quicker, cheaper, supports more displays... but the gtx 590 is quieter, just a bit slower. ive got a 800 watt power supply, i dont really know if its enought?
