its all about the double lifetime warranties, yo! that and i want to start running the openCL F@H client, sick of having to use nvidia cards to fold on!
What I like about the 6990, and particularly the XFX 6990, is that I will get a well-made enthusiast-class product with a good name and a good warranty behind it.
The 6990 is simply the best dual gpu card and the fastest video card ever released, period. I also love that XFX was the first to step up and honor the warranty if you use the oc switch on the 6990. No one else would speak up but XFX, they did . What happens when you combine the XFX and the 6990? You get the [H]ardest, fastest, strongest pixel accelerator that ever was.
The experience I've had with XFX has been excellent; both in products and customer service. They are my go-to brand for myself and come as recommendations to friends and family.
I personally like XFX because the cards never fail and when they do after years of use they replace them with newer cards. They're a very stand up company and I've only purchased XFX cards for years!
