To me the faster video card is this...
When your comparing two video cards the faster one is the one that makes a somewhat/non-playable/lowerFPS game more playable. I don't care if the 590 gets 800fps in quake or other uselessly high fps, and 6990 only gets 700.
For example: What matters to me is if the game is in the lower fps area with one card and the other gets you to a more playable fps area.
That is always the way i've seen it. I truly agree with anandtechs review over the rest in declaring the faster card. The 6990 is truly the fastest video card when it actually counts, where it matters. But even so, i'm not sure there is any game either of these cards can't play well at an actual realistic resolution? So no matter how you want to compare the video cards, they are both to fast for their own good (Way to big of a price tag....).
Of course people think things differently than I. Its just my opinion.
