Radeon HD 6990 ''Antilles'' Graphics Card Pictured

Two things I have to say on the cooler is this:

Show me a cooler on top of the card or venting from the top, all of the circuitry that gets real hot is on the bottom. Hence the coolers tend to suck from the bottom :O.

With my dual 1900's, they ran MUCH cooler with a fan blowing on them from the backside. With my 3870 it was the same thing. Surprisingly even the 5770 does. I would not rule out this fan system. The big question is how quiet it will be!

Loling @ the nvidia fan boys earlier in the thread making up really pathetic excuses to why this will suck

At first glance it looked like he was holding a VHS.

You just took the words right out my mouth lol.

I'm always amazed that people care what the inside of their computer looks like.

Me too, or a GPU for that matter. It could look like a pile of crap as long is runs games well.
You can't even see mine it is in a cabinet. I don't need Bling I want Zing

I really like AMD/ATI's hardware, but the driver department is very lacking.

They spend a lot of time updating them , but it doesn't seem to fix everything.
Always needing new tweaks. Seems to mainly effect OCer's and Crossfire rigs.
I haven't had to many issues, except BFBC 2 load times when I was still running a 4870.
