Stay away from 6990, or any dual gpu ati config, the drivers from ati have been terrible for the past few months, guru3d forum is full of 5970 users that are suffering from various issues like corner mouse bug, negative cf scaling(even with proper CAP), full gpu load even at idle desktop and plenty more, buy a GTX580/HD6970 instead.Thanks jas, well thats comforting.
PS: I think March 8 is the official release date of the HD6990. Still keep your fingers crossed. If its any where near 35K, ill be able to accommodate it my rig(hopefully).
The reviews are using one driver version(say its 10.10), about 2-3 drivers are launched by ati and a lot of them recently are causing issues, even when game performance is ok other issues crop up, one issue is gpu shows 100% load at idle desktop and so goes full throttle, does not rectify until reboot, another issues is the mouse pointer lags at the right upper corner, and more.tkin i see tremendous crossfire scaling of 6970 in reviews..sometimes reaching upto a 580 sli.(i mean not same) so how come drivers are bad? amd is improving upon them..

just a doubt. no offence.
. is there any chance that GTX590 is gonna be around 600$?
You can buy any one, make sure that the clock frequencies match or both card will fall to lowest clock among the two, and congrats, that's a really good card.Thanks mate

I have a query, say after 5-6 months when I wanna do the SLI of 560, in that time could I buy the Asus TOP model? Will it be a possible SLI with my current Non TOP card and TOP card?
Thanks in advance.
