Bought one of these first day it came, everything was going well. I've been updating the drivers and staying up to date, heard that keeps them safe.

Stupid POS GTX 590 caught fire and my machine crashed today. Such BS. Just a heads up, this card is no good, switched to it from a 6970, should of just got the 6990.

This video speaks the truth. screw you nvidia

Was quite amazed when the GTS250 managed it on 40-50fps average on lowest settings but with highest Res. I'm actually looking at getting a completely new system save the GPU. You have a i7 or i5? Just wondering if that did anything to help it even more.

hey mw2 burne out my last gts240 because apparently the gpu fan was jammed, so it melted my memory and ram and all of that. i lost like 50000 pictures and a load of other stuff... im playing crysis 2 on an exact 'replica' of my last cpu (warranty) and its been running on hardcoe fine. this stuff is really messed up.
