Nvidia GTX 590 vs ATI 6990

This little battle was taken from GPU Wars on Youtube.  Personally I would buy the Nvidia regardless of the price.  Why?  Because I have had only good experiences with Nvidia drivers compared to ATI.  I bought a Sapphire 9800 Pro and had nothing but issues with the drivers then.  I am not sure if ATI has updated their drivers, but I just couldn't care about ATI.


Even though they say the ATI is a faster card, Nvidia wil always be my #1 choice.


ROUND ONE!
NVIDIA GTX 590 vs AMD RADEON 6990 Round 1: Length, Size & Measurements 






ROUND TWO!
NVIDIA GTX 590 vs AMD RADEON 6990 Round 2: Heat, Noise & Power Consumption 





ROUND THREE!!!!!!!!
NVIDIA GTX 590 vs AMD RADEON 6990 Round 3: Performance Review & Conclusion





Ding Ding Ding!!


6990:+ runs a little cooler
+ a little cheaper
- much louder
- marginally inferior performance in some tests /
+ marginally superior performance in some tests

590: +marginally superior perforfmance in some tests 
- marginally inferior performance in some tests
- a litle more expensive
- quieter
- runs a little hotter 

Ultimately the cards really are very hard to differentiate according to performance and specs.
The only factor really being pushed is the noise level of the 6990.
Also bare drivers and compatibility in mind when buying one.
