The GTX 580 is the most powerful single card on the market, and the 6990 is well below.

I believe you meant the 6970 is below, because the HD 6990 (being a dual card) is certainly above the GTX 580.
|
It's the same situation as the GTX 590. The dual card functions worse than two of the originals, which are worse than the GTX 580 by performance.
Edit: Apparently no one noticed, but I specified single GPU in the OP. Dual cards non-withstanding.
|
So you're comparing two GTX 580s vs one HD 6990, your original statement didn't make that clear for me.
|
Yeah this confused me a little as well, the 6990 alone should easily outperform a 580. Also just to point out, the 6990's should, to my understanding, scale far better in Crossfire then the 590's in sli.

Guys...he said most powerful "single GPU"...not most powerful videocard you can buy. 6990 and 590 are dual GPU cards running in SLI/crossfire in one card...
With that in mind, GTX 580 is the most powerful single GPU on the market.

Yes, he said "single GPU" but then he said the GTX 580 is above the HD 6990. That's where the confusion started, both because it's not true and also because the HD 6990 is not a single GPU card.
I wouldn't have entered the discussion at all if not to correct that statement.
