$900
Well when you look at the cost of the EK block and then the cost on a reference HD 6990 the price is right on the money for what you are getting. Its fast and it runs cool but it does have a price tag for that performance. Honestly if I ran a reference 6990 every day while gaming I would go to water cooling just to shut it up under load. That goes for any 69XX and 68XX series reference AMD card for that matter.
