Speed Demons

Both the GTX590 and 6990 are to be released within the month. Here's at table I made from information released from the companies:



Red Text are for estimates. Blue is from leaked information.

Note that the 6990 is more than 2 6970 in CF. It has 3840 SP which means 1920SP per core vs 6970 1536 SP. This will be close.

On a side note: Considering how the GTX580 has been so well embraced because of it's cooler and quieter operation whereas the 6970 is know for being hot and loud, it makes you wonder what AMD intends to do to fix this problem, and thus I gave the 6990 a lower MSRP as it'll need it if their performance are similar.

Edit: Both cards have been offically released, and it seems as though the rumored specs were off. The GTX590 is 2 GTX580's with a Core Clock of 612Mhz whiles the 6990 is 2 6970's with a OC switch which changed it from "eco" 375w 830Mhz mode to 6970 matching 880Mhz
