For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Valorant at 87 fps to 87 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 87 fps. For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Valorant at 71 fps to 71 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 71 fps.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580
The GTX 590 might be the extreme flagship of the latest Fermi 2.0 set of graphics cards, but their prices keep them out of the reach of most high-end PC gamers. On the other hand, the GTX 580 is closer to being reasonably affordable at a price tag of $ 499. NVIDIA ’s xx80 cards have always been defined by high-end prices with performance that knocks on the door of extreme graphics cards – especially when overclocked. After taking the time to fully test the Fermi 2.0 graphics card inside the GTX 580, we can say without a doubt that it continues the trend.
Spec for spec, this GTX 580 leapfrogs its direct predecessor, the GTX 480, by boasting 48.6 % more fps. Fortunately, gaming performance was quite impressive. The GTX 580 consistently delivers great frame rate increases over the GTX 480 and it really justifies an upgrade.
For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Valorant at 64 fps to 64 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 64 fps.

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 590 / i7-2600K
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. View Current Price List
