Abstract: Now that AMD and Nvidia have both released their new $699 dual-GPU flagship video cards, the Radeon HD 6990 and the GeForce GTX 590 respectively, all that's left for this generation is a lot of hole-filling at the opposite end of the pricing spectrum. ...

Larger, more power-hungry than AMD's higher-end HD 6850, as well as Nvidia's parallel card
The HD 6790 brings new levels of gaming pop to cards around $150, but it’s also big and power-hungry. Most users will be better off with the slightly pricier HD 6850 or Nvidia’s GeForce GTX 550 Ti. ...
