No offence to anyone but do people actually read the articles?

Card is mediocre - they just pulled the old trick and making glueing together two lesser cards to make a better single unit at a lower price.

They've used the
Cayman XT GPU's not the Bart GPU's for this card, so they've broken with tradition.

The latest series from AMD is a flop - overheats like GTX 480 used to and can be used for heating purposes. A real shame on AMD's part that they can't take the lead and produce the proper card.

Huh? The 5800 and 6800 series of cards use less power and are quieter than the 480, even the 580 uses less than a 480. As for power load and temps on the 6990, this new card uses less than a 580 in SLI and produces more performance, and will no doubt cost less than a 580x2 SLI set up.
Everyone must remember that this card is not for everyone, hell I'd even recommend lower spec'd cards for CoD. But if you've got a multi monitor set up and want nothing but ALL the highest settings to be displayed then this is the card you'd want to get.
