pnico, i dont knwo if you're a troll, and if everyone else is messing with you, but the 5990 DOES NOT EXIST.
2x5970's are the most powerful GPU Solution u can currently purchase on the PLANET.
The 5870 Graphics Chip is the single most powerful CHIP on the planet - the 5970 is a single Graphics Card, which has 2x5870 Graphics Chips on the single card.
SO, having 2x5970 means you have 4x5870 chips, in total.
Btw, STOCK, the two 5870 chips on the 5970 run at 5850 speeds, its extremely easy to turn them up to 5870 speeds, and even beyond, if you wish.
BTW, 5870 Chip is single-most powerful Chip on the planet ATM - the new NVIDIA generation is releasing in a few weeks, and their best chip MIGHT be more powerful than ATI's...
However, it wont come anywhere near close to beating 4x5870 chips...
wait and see...
Gd luck.
