Topic: [AVL NOW] Countdown to radeon 7990 - page 4. (Read 11407 times)
3 - 8 pin pcie connectors. Wow. It would be better for mining to make a card that can get down to two 8 pin connectors and may run at a lower maximum clock rate with far less room for overclocking. Of course this is not going to happen now that ASICS and FPGA's are around.
That PowerColor Devil 13 HD 7990 is not a standard 7990.
It's a higher end hybrid.
I'm sure the ref or standard 7990 will be less than that one

Isn't 900 Euro closer to like 1125USD?
Why is stuff always more expensive in Europe, I mean that site showing 900EUR equates to be about $1500 USD
"Hardware Canucks has leared that the price will be between $899 and $999 USD"
The only reason I am thinking they would be any better is that I could effectiively run 4x 7970 in a single rig (most of my boards are 3xPCIe16 double spaced)

Your not counting the power cost and new PSU that will be added to the cost. What i want to know is how much is it gonna cost, and more importantly when does it go on sale?
My PSU can handle 2 of these. The cost for me is getting them, which is still unknown.

Soo...where are the review, and where can I buy?!
There's a strong part of me that wants to take 200BTC and WC 2 of these in CF. How long would 2.5GH/s take to make back 200BTC... /doesntcare
Me too
Well @ ฿31.32 per month,@ $10 each=$313.20 per Month @ current diff
About 3 months to pay off each one.I'm guessing retail price @ $1000
Out of my league,unless BTC hits $20

considering you can get two 7970's for $740 Id hope the price is around $750 tops ... not $900... but then again by the time it comes out GPU mining might be unprofitable.
You can get them for $370 each, but that's not ATI's official MSRP. That's actually $425, or $499 for the GHz versions.
As seen on Engadget:
Ya that showed up a few months ago. Looks sweet, but it's not an official 7990 (it's more of a 7970X2). Still, I expect it to be a killer card.
Ps Are they using GHz edition (tahiti2) chips undervolted and downclocked to 925MHz? That would make the most sense for a custom card with these clocks.

What do you think about this?
Anyone complaining about there being 4x 6 pin PCIe Power Connectors on the 7990 after being told of the cards Multi Phase power delivery system is an idiot (or at the very least an illiterate main-streamer entering a world well beyond his/her intellectual grasp/comprehension). Insulting? Just being 100% honest... there is no getting around that.
But then again most of these folks are from the same generation that considers Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber to be "Artists". Of course... "pre-packaged, mass produced frozen Turkey diners taste just like a REAL HOME COOKED TURKEY MEAL" Said Nobody Ever.
If it performs better with Multi Phase power delivery by allowing for more stable clock rates (Overclock or not) and more efficient use of power...
I'm sold.
But the thing is, all those connectors are DC. The multi-phase arrangement is part of the PWM system, which doesn't care how many DC connectors there are as long as it gets enough volts and amps. You could have one big ass pair of wires per card, and still have stable power, since the PWM system does all the magic.But then again most of these folks are from the same generation that considers Katy Perry, Lady Gaga and Justin Bieber to be "Artists".

Actually it does care and care a lot because not every PSU is a monster single rail of 12v. Love em or hate them multi rail PSU's often can't deliver the amps needed to a single 8pin connector. Instead of forcing people to upgrade their PSU's when they make dumb choices on their six rail 1200W monster (or two rail 700W shitbox) , they're accommodating them with this design.
So obvious.
Could we please stay on topic?
I believe Nvidia bought them out around 2000-01.
EDIT: I remember my Voodoo 5500 AGP well, was the only worthwhile card for N64 emulation.

What ever happened to 3dfx anyhow? Didn't they get absorbed by a larger company somewhere along the way?
This is epic.

I remember my V5 5500. It was a beautiful thing, too bad 3dfx stopped innovating and rested on their laurels so much.
