Please see my VERY important post on 7990s here, could save yourself $1k:
tldr to read the tldrs: the old 3 slot cards are great, with some obvious restrictions, but the new malta cards are NOT suitable to mine on.

I have one but actually prefer having my 7950s for the cost differential. Considering 2-3 7950s come with 3 sets of games to sell for 25-38$ and usually a decent rebate they seem much cheaper. Also, the 7990 is a HUGE card. It is a beast.
Just my .000001B though.

Why bother with them though? I can't come up with any reason I would use a 7990 over 2 7970s for mining. 5970s had some merit since it was easier to build high density rigs when a single 5870 only pulled 150W or less. But considering how well 7970s OC and how much power they take up when you do, what exactly is the point of using a 7990? Also add the fact that the 79xx cards have problems with leakage increasing (A LOT) at moderately high temps 70-75C+ and it becomes even less attractive.
If someone says "better binned chips" just no, go get 3x 7950s (almost 4).

To those wondering: The new version a.k.a Malta won't be available for purchase for at least a couple weeks.
And might indeed have trouble mining. Throttling in Furmark is not a good sign. These 3-slot Club3D and Powercolor cards do work well with mining.

Drat, too late! I wouldn't mind having one just for bragging rights 
Snagged one for mining LTCs. I love these cards!
