Agreed, Many benefits to be had by running 6990 vs 5830's but it's not worth paying the extra, Retail is pricey enough
and those "problems" your talking about dont exsist anymore, The worst you'll get is a crappy oc card that only give 760Mh/s that runs hot (95°)
where as shappires sometimes cant even push 25mhz past stock on core

In your opinion then, which brand of 6990 allows for best OC?
XFX?
From what I've read and heard, Sapphire is one of the better 6990 cards out there... no?
Suggest you take your discussion to your own thread and leave the OP on topic, a seller's thread isn't the place to debate the pricing they set nor the alternatives.
