The Radeon HD 6990 receives a 9/10 and a Must Have rating from KitGuru for its uber-fast performance. The main cons are the price, power draw and the noisy cooler.

"The battle for frame rate supremacy is always fun to watch, as AMD and Nvidia joust for top position with multi-million dollar R&D budgets. While the ultra high end cards generate only a small percentage of sales for either company, the performance leader will often generate sales lower down the chain. That is how the enthusiast ‘state of mind’ works.

There is no doubting that Nvidia’s GTX580 is one of the finest graphics cards money can buy – we use them at KitGuru regularly for gaming and folding@home. However, equally so, AMD followers are proud to say that the HD5970 is still the fastest graphics card on the market. Well that is until today, as AMD have just released the replacement – The Antilles HD6990."
