what do you thank will be faster--- i beleive the Amd 6990 will be and heres some reasons why i thank this. for one the 6970 only 15% slower then the gtx 590 www.techpowerup.com/reviews/HIS/Radeon_HD_6970/29.html.... uses 190 watts and the 580 uses 244. pci-e standards say you can only have 300 watt cards so this gives amd 110 watts to play with and nvidia 56 watts. also cf performance has been improved and the 6850 beats 460 sli..... anyways this is what i thank what do you guys thank

I try not to speculate that much over it and the wait for benchmarks to show up. All Nvidia has to do is add more plugs to the 590 to feed it more power, the slot itself only delivers 75watts rest comes from direct connections from the PSU.

wait until the benchmarks are made avaible than deside for urself, certain games are made for ati and some for nvidia, but one things for shur somethimes the top dog card will be better in any games, so its worth it to wait, and no speculate on possible outcomes, cheers

Both will be fast enough to run everything on max...To me it's whichone gives the better deal...But if you can get 2 6950's in crossfire and cost cheaper then the 6990 i'd rather get the 6950 2gb and flash it to a 6970...Even 2 GTX 570's in Sli are crazy fast...I just hope the GTX 590 won't be as big as the 6990 since my Lian-li mid tower case won't be able to fit it unless i take out the hard drive cage...I've seen pictures of the 6990 and it's freakin huge...
