My next card. Already got a 6970 + EK waterblock to go Tri-Fire with it. :)

AMD 6xxx serie scaling is better then Fermi. Power cosumption is also better on AMD side. The Nvidia 590 will have problems competing with that monster. Can Nvidia do a 500W card????

Recent Fermis consume more power than Caymans?
