I wouldn't bother with Toms Hardware anymore - was great some years ago, but was bought out and reviews have gone downhill. Particularly nvidia vs ATI/AMD.

Indeed, the lack of support from AMD is rubbish (I wonder if emails not returned can be linked to the AMD ATI takeover - staff more worried about their jobs than helping a developer at the time?). But we won't really know what's best until release time - it'll be a DX11 game after all, so it should run equally on either brand, as long as AMD eventually catch up and work with Oleg.
I doubt very much 6990 will be much faster in general. As it stands now Amd have pushed 6950/70 to the limit in regards of tdp (power/heat). The cards are ecentially down klocked to even pass Amd`s optemistic low consumption mantra). This is why they are so much slower than everyone expected imo. A 6990 will proppably be even more hampered.

This speaks volumes imo:

"Should your shiny new 6000-series card’s death turn out to be PowerTune-related, a warranty won’t cover it. Sounds a little like Nissan equipping its GT-R with launch control, and then denying warranty claims when someone pops the tranny. Nevertheless, you’ve been warned."


Stock overclocking gives pretty much 0 boost. The only time anything happens is when u crank up the powertune +20% (and ooops, there goes the warrenty out the window) wich, if im not misstaken is the same as using voltage tuner = more heat/power consumption = Amd mantra out the window.


This is how i intepret it, please show me wrong if possible because its looking bleek for Amd in my opinion.


Anyways, in the end it wont make a differance. People buy the card they want no matter what so it will proppably even it selfe out in the end.
