i've been waiting for this to release, the last GPU AMD made was noisy as hell and sucked a lot of power =/

oh and it was huge,.

What are you even talking about.

The 6970 wasn't especially noisy, consumed a reasonable amount of power and was good value compared to Nvidia competition.

Nvidia's GPU was bigger and used more power.

i'm talking about that Crossfire one, and no i'm not an NVidia fan actually, i wanted to wait for the new generation to come out so i can buy an AMD one, besides the one i have can run almost all games perfectly (except Metro so far)

Well it's the same story when you compare AMD and Nvidia GPUs of similar performance (GTX 570 v 6970 and GTX 590 v 6990). The "Crossfire one" was the 6990 and it about the same on noise and power as the dual-GPU GTX 590. Nvidia's uses a lot greater die area if that's what you meant by bigger.

I agree you shouldn't upgrade if your current card is running everything.
