AMD, the HD 7990 officially ge lwa site. The video card is equipped with two of AMD’s fastest gpu’s, which is the struggle to compete with the GTX 690 and GTX Titan from Nvidia. AMD provided the video card is an impressive cooler with three fans.

The video card is already for a longer time in development and AMD has apparently been waiting for his partners, so that their very first variants could launch, such as PowerColors Devil 13, Club3D’s HD 7990 and Asus Ares II. In particular, the HD 7990’s from PowerColor and Asus are, however, very disappointing and all three of the cards have relatively exotic coolers. AMD so he saw a small hole, where the HD 7990 in hammer. So has AMD’s HD 7990 has a lower energy requirement, with only two achtpins-pci-e-connectors. That of Club3D and Asus have up to three of such connectors.

Nevertheless, the clock speed was still quite high, with a standaardkloksnelheid of 950MHz and a Boost Clock of 1000MHz. Memory, 3GB per gpu, tap at 6000MHz. That is not much less than AMD’s HD 7970 GHz Edition, of which only the gpu is 50MHz higher clocked. All in all, would the HD 7990 up to 375W devoid. That still delivers a considerable amount of heat and therefore edited AMD cooler that the full 30.5 cm of the pcb covers. A part of the heat sink is pure copper. Three fans provide the necessary airflow without too much noise to produce, as evidenced by our tests.

AMD try the video card in the market as a competitor of the GTX 690 and GTX Titan. What performance succeed in doing this. However, it is still wait and see what the video card is exactly going to cost. AMD delivers, and anyway, eight games with the video card, which totaled just 170 euros are worth. In the United States the HD 7990 in any case 999 dollar cost. Who immediately a HD 7990 would like to purchase, however, must still wait two weeks, then the video card really available.
