Newegg TV: GTX 590 vs. Radeon HD 6990 Benchmark Battle AMD XFX NVIDIA EVGA

http://www.newegg.com

As promised, here's a benchmark stand-off between two of the fastest single-card VGA solutions on the market. Will XFX's rendition of the AMD Radeon HD 6990 prevail, or will EVGA's overclocked ("Classified") version of the NVIDIA GTX 590 come out on top?

Each of these cards features not one, but two (2) of their respective GPU manufacturer's fastest GPUs.
Check out the video for the results!

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

[shootingNmissing]

Now if only I could afford it.

[thehughis]

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

[MrJdmkid97]

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)

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

[njm1112]

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

[njm1112]

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

[OliverGrauengaard]

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