  • that switch on the 6990 is shite! just use afterburner! the switch will screw with all dark textures

  • why u didn't showed the wattage usage of 6990 Over clocked if you would have showed the wattage of 6990 overclocked it could have the same wattage comparing to gtx 590 cause gtx 590 is already overclocked and ur showing the wattages of stock 6990 thats why its a bit lower than gtx 590. i belive uniengine is the high-end benchmarking engine and gtx 590 won! nvidia ftw. (this is what i call logic-win)

  • Radeon 6990 is affordable, GTX 590 isn't.. Radeon 6990 has a better overall score.What do I choose?

  • @OliverGrauengaard yes i agree plus the 6990 is alot less energy using plus! to make it fair they should use the 7970 :D

  • @njm1112 Yeah, taking an older GPU vs. one of the newest isn't fair at all!

Threw up on your video, sorry.

  • @JoeWithTheGlasses im not even going to ask how you did that.

  • Wow this narrator has cooling fins at his lower lip. Very cool but not so hot!

  • Just to say the 6990 is bigger but it makes al hell lot of noise more than the gtx590.

  • to be honest .....i would choose the gtx 590......because i trust it more....i fell safety.......gtx 590 is not using 100%of his power....it's using about 95%.......and it will not be so hot....but the hd 6990 it's using 100% of his power....and you can make some eggs on it......what's your opinion.....which is better????

  • Hey PAUL ... ok just something I heard Why dont you do a video comparing all nvida/AMD cards ie what cards matches up with the other, I think would be your most watched newegg tv...

  • Rotfl I remember running crysis on my 9800 GTX when It came out i was happy like a child runinng 18 fps on full hd and maxed settings with dx10 now?... 6990 - 60 FPS thats buuuullshit :D

  • Now if only I could afford it.

  • Guyz...is a corsair 850W (80+) enough for this card?

  • @k3v1nfbr No, is more than you need

  • he didnt mention noise levels, the amd is said to while like a banshee when the gtx is relatively quiet, depends on wether u like gaming with headphones

  • Can't believe that people are still complaining and whining about the AMD driver problems they had 8 years ago. Times has changed. AMD's drivers today are just as good as nVidia's.

  • I'd go with nVidia anytime, AMD/ATI has issues with drivers, BSOD everyone?! when they learn that software is just as important as hardware, they can beat nVidia, until then, I happily pay the extra $50-$150 for nVidia and be sure that the video card doesn't brick or slow my system

  • @duminicad I have actually never had a problem with my AMD/ATI cards.

  • amd driver ........ sigh -___-

  • nvidia for Life ! !!

  • The Verdict????????????

  • I wanna run 4 windows of furmark on integrated graphics

  • @wilburgoat64 Lol

  • does any one else notice the video is 19:20 min. long ooh haha 1920x1080 haha

  • @DamiontheSpawn I was just about to search for a comment like that O.O

  • Hallo people, here is ze year 4501 ze newest card came out - ati radeon UltimatelyInfinitelyHighDefini­tion 699 900X 90000000 clock 8000gb vram can run in 7d with specail effects, you play in a little bit higher than normal res for now = 4mil x 3 mil pixels on ze regular 71inch monitor i get around 50 fps on ze battlefield 4300 about ze war in the 4300:

  • I have a question regarding the watts...

    Does more watts means I'll have to pay more for the electricity when my bills come ?

  • @ANDROID454545416 It does indeed

  • @welshpocketrocket Ahh, I see. Thanks for answering.

  • @ANDROID454545416 Yes I believe it does. If your system is drawing 500 watts from the wall, it's using it. If not it would only draw 350w from the wall. I say 'from the wall' because some people actually measure it that way in real time instead of calculating and or monitoring the wattage of each component.

  • So from what this video is showing me looks like my next purchase will be a 6990

  • @ItzAnth0ny amd drivers are pretty awful. but yeah, it won't matter what you get.

  • Hi

    It is necessary to connect additional power molex with one hd 6990 in Asus rampage iii Extreme?

    Good Video

  • These cards pull more wattage than my entire computer. :O

  • Btw I want the 600 series to come out already

  • im just gona go with the 6990 simply to support amd

  • i wanna see that run minecraft lol

  • @GolaniSoldierz lol? well my nvidia card thats 5 generations old runs MC perfectly....

  • @flawns no i mean i wanna see how good it runs minecraft. like how much of a high fps it could do

  • Damn, I wish I had those cards right in front of me like this guy

    Not much of us are so lucky. Thouhg, we'll all have to agree, the 6990 is doing much better than the gtx 580

  • what would be an appropriate processor to run with one of these cards?..im trying to figure this out for my new build

  • Funny how he didnt overclock the 590(must be that "fail safe" or so they call it) the 6990 drew much less wattage even at overclock, and that mild overclock made a MASSIVE difference(especially in that tessellation benchmark) so bassically that would be all you have to do if you running at extreme settings and want more FPS, n you wont even be drawing any more watts if you do, shit you could probably go 900 or more Mhz and beat out the 590.

  • @WarpPal The 590 is an overclocked version if you listened to anything he said.

  • @starwarsfan76 Oh I heard him, is an "overclocked version" really an excuse? since most "overclocked" cards I see are done so mildly (especially with Nvidia) with more headroom to do more overclocking, as is the case with the 6990.

  • If you buy Nvidia don't forget you'll need some extra cash for electricity bills.

  • @alancik123 Thank you for the abnoxious comment, AMD fanboy

  • Does the minimum fps really mean that the fps NEVER drops below the given number? Because my 6990 sure drops below 37 fps in crysis every now and then.

  • Awesome RADEON ROCKS!!

  • yes it maybe is cheaper but cheap things are sometimes low or shity. like your friend is gonna buy a cheaper computer with cheaper CPU and grafics card and you are gonna buy a expensive computer with expencive cpu and all that shit you will gonna se that you have better pc then your friend. and why do you even freak out about the fps even when you have any other readeons or nvidias just use lower settings. i mean you don't allways need full grafics

  • @GhostPlayer07070 horrid spelling on some words but i fully agree with you people obsess over eye candy too much these days and really i miss the old days where graphics were shitty and people focused on the game play and story line and etc of a game.

  • so what we all know right now, is that.. 6990 is better, cooler, and CHEAPER!

    Nvidia can go fuck them self with their overpriced 3D shit that no one even cares about

  • @xXDeViLRape yaa 3d is just annoying in my opinion. i dont need shit flying out of my monitor.

  • @goodkid234 Hahahahaha!

  • @goodkid234 Things don't come out of the screen, Its like looking through a window. You feel like you can reach into the screen. I use nvidia's 3d glasses on an asus monitor. i thought it was gonna pop out of the screen and was surprised when i first seen my game in 3d. still cool. but not for every one.

  • GTX 590 actually has more advantages than the HD 69990 at the moment.

    alienbabeltechDOTcom/main/gtx_­590_review/all/1

  • 6990 shits on gtx590, and on top of that, it's much cheaper

  • @atibingler ja verbraucht mehr strom dafür

  • i love both AMD and Nvidia however i am a more frenquent user of AMD products i also love the many features they offer with their products all thats going for Nvidia is PhysX unfortunately their is not currently many games supporting this. Thats mostly why i favor AMD i find it funny how AMD has gotten a bigger grip of the gpu market over Nvidia who soley makes gpus and nothing else. But if Nvidia is willing to give up on this Fermi shit i would change....But only maybe!

  • This was before AMD released the new drivers (1.7-1.8). Increasing the performance of the 5xxx/6xxx cards on tessellation and AA by 10 - 20%. Regardless both cards are great and i personally own ATI cards on all my gaming rigs. All about personal preference.

  • I got to say that this video shows one thing to me. Both cards are great but it's your personal preference thats going to decide what you buy. I personally like AMD.

  • in max resolution 6990 will leave 590 to the dust. I still prefer Nvidia. Maybe bcos they are classy.

  • 590 HAS BIGGER BOX, THERFORE IT IS BETTER! (logic-win)

  • are this graphics card good for solitaire on high settings? tnx

  • @troyjj386 only on low settings.

  • @troyjj386 almost...technology isn't there yet...but you CAN play wolfenstein 3d on here max settings...like 10 fps I think :D

  • @drinzan i got lag in both graphics cards i play pacman in low settings only.. (:

  • @troyjj386 are you sure, I have them in SLi/crossfire configuration, and I get pacman on medium :D

  • @troyjj386 the gtx 600 is rumored to barely run the massive requirements for pong...that's some intense shit :D

    

  • For people who dont want to spend the crazy cash for one of these bad boys, the cheapest way to go I think would be to get a reference 6950 with dual bios switch and Unlock to 6970.

  • It's a shame that Nvidia scaled back the clock speeds on a lot of the GTX 580's and all the GTX 590's, if they didn't they could pound cheaper Radeon's into the ground.

    Clock Speeds:

    GTX 590 classified(limited overclocking) - 630Mhz

    GTX580 Xtreme - 800-832Mhz (highest overclocked card I found in 580 line)

    GTX560 Tri - 830Mhz

    HD6990 - 830-880Mhz

    HD6970 - 880Mhz

    Obviously other things to consider between the cards fill rate,cuda cores/steamers, shaders ect. Seems the 6970 and 560 are top atm.

  • Good show Radeon, great performance and doesn't suck up too much power! :)

  • amd phenom 1075t at 4.2 ghz nvidia older 980 a slix3 mobo :) 16 gig ddr2 1200 nvidia geforce gtx 570 :) plus a gt 220 1 gig gddr3 physx :) easily takes all games :)

  • Bad.. 60 e 30 FPS Hahhaahhaa...

    Wait Years

    GTX 1000 e HD 10000 // 1.500 FPS Full Ultra 3D , 3D , 24GB , Speed Full , 5.000mhz - 20.000mhz , 999bit , Direct X 16 e 20 3D , Max , Max , Max , All

  • @mateusacdc54 and they get better to that, over one million!!!! LOL

  • @mateusacdc54 You can find this card in heaven so do your best effort to go there if you want the card ^^ GTX 1000 hahaha

  • @mateusacdc54 dont forget that the fans will be like 2 db... if there even are fans

  • @mateusacdc54 if i will get a card like that next year i will kiss ur ass

  • That Radeon is Fucking huge

    0.0

  • HaHa i hav HD6990 4GB GDDR5 Asus and 6 core Phenom ii x6, with 16 GB Ram.

  • @Charbyzic If your budget is that high why wouldn't you get an Intel processor?

  • @Thegrandhighoracle

    it isnt that high, my pc only costed (with 23" LED ASUS SCREEN) 1500€ = thats ~2200$, and because AMD its better and kicks ass off intel, its better amd... You can say everything you want (dont discuse this) but i hav'd amd's and intel's and AMD kicks ass off... And i dont gonna buy any pc at least in 5 years... Because, at least the next 5 years my pc can play all games in very high definition... Bye

  • @Charbyzic Intel costs a bit more, but it's way better. i5 2500k will beat any current AMD processor

  • high performance + Low Power AMD is doing something right WTF are they doing? How are they doing it? What what ever it is they need to keep it up.

  • You don't even have any HD 6990 instock???

  • Great thorough review! You need a beer after all that. Keep up the great work!

  • 6990 yeah

  • You discontinued the 6990 ...

  • 750w not good enough for for 590 u need like a 850+ to be safe

  • gor gtx 590 u`ll need a nuclear reactor

  • @MrTheAndu Averate electric teapot uses 3 times more power than GTX 590.

  • Hmmm, the weird thing is that on LinusTechTips, GTX 590 owned the 6990 in power consumption, min/avg/max fps in BF:BC 2, Crysis 2, Lost Planet 2 and only lost in Metro 2033 and here it gets it's two GPUs (at least in terms of power consumption) like, smoked. Again, weird.

  • @ManInteractive Linus is using video games for his benchmarks while Newegg uses what people call "canned" benchmarking. Canned benchmarking isn't accurate to how the graphics card will perform during actual gameplay. Plus, this is an overclocked GTX 590 so it'll use a lot more power than stock..

  • team Ati

  • @kphantomkk

    Your GTX 480 is equal to two 580's underclocked in SLI?

    Nope. Put your resolution to 1920x1200 like in the test, very high settings, 16xAA. Your 480 will crawl like a snail.

  • @darkzerk7 It didn't. If you have one test it out. Everything was on very high. I bet it's the CPU that slowed their test down.

  • @kphantomkk

    no, I don't think you understand. it is not physically possible to get +60fps on a gtx 480 using the settings and 1920x1200 resolution as in this video

    only a gtx 590 or 6990 can come even near

  • @kphantomkk pretty sure not. lol.

  • I was looking at these 2 cards and i decided to go with GTX 590. I was leaning toward the 6990 at first but 590 seems like the better deal. better driver and what not. and beside, you can't even over clock the 6990 much. the 590 you can over clock all you want. GTX 590 WINS! EZ PZ

  • They both sound good but still cant decide between the 2

  • why did newegg pull the 6990 from there website

  • @Domikick1 I been asking the same question. Out if stock for good I guess

  • gtx 590 is better

  • where do i get the newegg license plate cover.

  • You should benchmark MINECRAFT!

  • @HeadshotBiH Minecraft jokes gor really old really fast.

  • @SPARTAIN088 I know but wouldnt it be fun! :D

  • 06:49  you said 443 but the table says 543 .

  • I want a 6990 :o

  • how come some games work faster with different cards??

  • Is the EVGA GTX 590 faster than the ASUS GTX 590? 

  • @BoeingFA18F I think the ASUS is better but I'm not sure...

  • i wonder how the AMD card would do now with the APU. cause as i understand the I7 is great for muti thread apps. but the APU is the best for graphics based users. 

  • @equilibrium2424 my understanding was that the I7 CPU is technically an APU...its just that Intell doesn't like to call it that because AMD came up with the term 'APU'. or idk i might be wrong tho

  • I have this PSU:

    Thermaltake MODULAR Tr2 Rx 750w Atx 80 Plus. May I use it for any of this two videoboards? thanx

  • I dont feel like watching this whole vid which one came out in top

  • @ChackaLockTahPuss so? core clock speed ( as long as it's not 150 or 200 less than the standard ) wont make a realistic difference. it's the cores or streaming processors and other parts of the video card that now matter more

  • So can someone please tell me what is the best card for playing games like Crysis 2 Just cause 2 for exampel please answer me! Thanks

  • @AlleMannen121 you gave a very GENERAL question. what resolution do you want to run the games at? are you running them at max eye candy settings ( the settings in the ingame menus), what frames per second in combination with the other two questions? These three things matter depending on your needs versus the video card that is right for you. Also, is your budget your highest and first priority? when you answer these questions in decent detail. i'll be glad to help. cheers

  • @chronofusion Thanks for helping me : D I want to have the best resolution on one screen and max settings on Crysis 2 for a exampel^^ answer so fast as you can! : D Cheers

  • @AlleMannen121 well again since you didn't mention certain things. I will assume you're not caring about budget. if you dont want multiple cards deal with. 590 will yield better performance for your needs in light of it's tesselation and that they finally released the damn dx 11 patch. if you dont mind having 2 physical video cards, 2 or 3 gtx 580's will yield the best performance period. 4 gtx 580's is a waste.

  • @chronofusion Thanks for all the help you rock^^

  • @AlleMannen121 my pleasure. Keep on rocking on the free world ( Joe Satriani). holla if ya have more questions

  • @MrEleventy2 not sure what IDIOT(S) that keep flagging your comment as spam. Elric Farris is awesome and HE DOES PERFORM pretty good reviews and actually believes in making videos out of random entertainment methods. REGARDLESS of whether or not I like or love his band or music, he is CREATIVE and thus helps with making a great video. for the record I keep clicking " SHOW" on your comment and thumbs up it. Fuck these other morons that CHOOSE NOT to think for themselves and see creativity

  • @chronofusion Thanks man I appreciate that

  • This test is a failure on NewEgg, person doing review should L2 Read up on product b4 making a video on the and, totally agree with altonb93 the GTX590 Classified is only clocked @ 630mhz so whats that tell you about the 6990 @ 830 or 880 mhz.... one word comes to mind "failure" why not just test both cards at exact same MHZ...

  • @WickedGame1794 core clock is not everything ... nvidia and ati are different architecture and therefore core clock on a gtx 590 doesnt compare to core clock on a 6990

  • there are no black people in this video, thats fuckin racist

  • @xxdizannyxx OMFG WAAWAA. " if a black person isn't involve it's racist" tell me something " GENIUS" do WHITE people have a company that is equal in power with outspoken permission to the NAACP and UNCF? Have you ever been the one responsible for hiring new employees in more than 4 different types of companies in the past 10 years & yet NOT head manager? I HAVE & guess what. I've been REQUIRED by those companies to review more BLACK applications than white & hire more blacks.THAT is racist!

  • @chronofusion Holy shit, I was joking. dont bust a f*cking nut writing your novel sized comments. I agree with you tho. f*ck black people

  • @TheFubublack I sent no message to fubublack. Thus I wasn't talking to you. When you start supporting me with welfare & food stamps to live on ( which will never happen..I was raised to EARN my living not mooch off of other tax payers) then you can SUGGEST to me ( not tell me) how to talk. Otherwise you CAN IGNORE my" novels". It's "fuck niggers" not black people.There's a difference.There few good black human beings left in Mississhitty, but very few & far between.I am thorough. get over it.

  • @xxdizannyxx thus until white people CAN FINALLy be treated WITH EQUAL HIRING OPPORTUNITIES, SOCIAL and anti racial defense powers ( and ACLU does NOT count. they defend blacks more than whites=FACT for the past 20 years), and number of approvals of foodstamps, medicare, medicaid , etc ARE EQUAL with black people FINALLy..IT'S WHITE people taht are racially discriminated against. When you grow a brain and stop watching just democratically owned media, you'll grow up enough to realize this.

  • Nvidia!!!!!!!!!!!

  • the gtx 590 isnt overclocked its underclocked

  • Why is he telling us? I can read.

  • 2560x1600 ftw but it realy drasticly lowers the fps i should upgrade my gpu(gtx 480)

  • Sooo, who won?

  • go AMD nVidia sucks

  • @Alooy10q8 skcus aidVn DMA og

  • @highhow AAAAAAAAND WHAT THE ****?

  • @Alooy10q8 MinD ****eD 0_o???

  • How much fps will i get in cod4

  • @johnnyb32gmailcom You mean Battlefield 3? FPS = fucking personally stupid. SO, you WIN no matter what! NOT REALLY... just a bit tired and drunked. Go all people who love their personal choice of FPS. (hehehe)

  • @johnnyb32gmailcom Over 9000

  • @johnnyb32gmailcom lol, like 200 fps

  • @MouthofSaurons More than 200...By a LONG SHOT. My GTS450 can get up to 300. Of course it depends on resolution

  • which is best at parallel processing

  • if i smash it will it run?
