GTX 590 benchmark with i7-2600K 1080p, 1440p, Ultrawide, 4K benchmarks at Ultra Quality
For the most part, the GTX 590 is still capable of playing modern games, but you would have to reduce settings to sustain those higher framerates. If keeping graphics quality settings closer to ultra or high is important, there are a few options for upgrades. It is worth noting that the GTX 590 is a very power hungry card and requires a decent power supply unit. With current 1536 MB RAM, the GTX 590 can have serious memory-related bottlenecks in more modern games. It is important to know that GTX 590 's max load temperature is very high and might require custom cooling solutions. This combination between GTX 590 and Intel Core i7-2600K @ 3.40GHz has less than 8% bottleneck in many games and is perfect match to avoid FPS loss. Deciding whether to invest so much money in a high-end GPU like GTX 590 requires careful thought. This combination between GTX 590 and Intel Core i7-2600K @ 3.40GHz is a perfect match to avoid FPS loss.
