300w difference for 6990, now, that is why amd went value and small mm/W design.
they beat nvidia with efficiency and offers better price/performance ratio and now for 3 straight designs they just hammer nvidia.

amd sells with high profit, if Nvidia didnt have their professional market they be gone like 3dfx.
It might consume 350W. But it's rated TDP is far lower.
