I was gonna get the 6990, but got 2 5970 2GB video cards running in crossfire. I was reviewing the specs and one 5970 2GB cards blows the 6990 out of the water when it comes to texturing and AA. but I run the game at 1920x 1080 with all settings on max, get constant 60 FPS through FRAPS. I can't get it any higher than 60 FPS, I think FFXIV will not allow above 60. I only have high system specs because I do game design, and it helps when modeling in Maya for quicker rendering.
