The 6990 is also priced at $699
The low factory clocks are what is killing the 590 from winning in every situation. if they clocked it at 725mhz or so it would win.

Thats what i said, the 6990 is a better card.
It consumes a fair amount less in games, it doesn't blow up when you try to clock it, it's faster at the resolutions a that are used now (1200p and 1600p).
ATi hasn't released any new drivers (officially) since they released the 6990 (IIRC), so drivers ain't a comparion here.
Be interesting to see the SLi review. Wonder if the 590 will manage more than 20% scalling. Or are we once again limited by the console generation and 1600p being the max resolution in these reviews.
Maybe Wizz should invest in a 1600p tri-monitor setup to see if thats the case. Surely TPU has the power to request such kit.
