    Well, Hello guys & girls, i just want to ask a simple, very simple question here,
    okay here it goes.

    If i ever want to upgrade my Current Gpu ( to better Gpu of course ), Which one should i take?? the 6990M or 580M,..
    I know that might sounds Odd since my system is an 3D enabled Unit ( 560M )

    But as what i've heard, GTX 580M got a lot of "Throttle" problems, i know it's very annoying, because i've already experience it on my Old Dell Studio XPS 1645. So i don't expect it to happen again on my newer system
    Oh and by the way, am i able to change it to an 6990M?, Just wondering if that might able to do and i wont be able to use the 3D feature of course.. :eek:

    Please Spread your Opinion and Reasons! :D

    You have a 3D screen, right?

    580M is your only option

    6xxM in the future also :)
