Yeah, this hasnt happened since the 7900 back in 2005
Well, I do think the 6990 is too loud, but I wouldnt buy reference designs of any of them, so thats kind of a moot point
What I am not liking this generation is that the performance is all over the place depending on games... Usually the 2 top cards are close in every game with an exception here and there, but here half of the games run better in 590, half run better on 6990... It sucks, youre screwed either way
Which reviews are you reading where the 590 is faster in half the games ? Most reviews I have read, even in games like Far Cry 2 / Lost Planet 2 which are Nvidia favored games, the 6990 is still out in front.
Even most of the time, when the 590 is oc'd, it still can't outrun the 6990.
But yea, I do agree that "we" are screwed either way.
