Wasn't that ASUS 5870x2 like $900+? I'd expect a 7970x2 to be somewhere in that area, if not higher.
Edit: Ouch, they were $1100 from NewEgg.

I don't think a price has been released yet for the 7970 X2. Considering its size and the amount of energy it will chug, I would think of buying one if a waterblock and more narrower rear IO bracket was released.
I am wondering if it is worth buying a dual Radeon 79xx card now or wait another 6 to 7 months for the second generation of GCN.

Any word on final price of the 7970x2? This would be an important measure of the value to miners... i.e. if there is a price-break between this and 2 individual 7970s, it would mean a much better Hash/$ rate.
Can anyone just post a quick comparison of the hash rates of a 6990 vs 7990?
If you assumed no over clock and full 7970 speeds it would get about 1100 mhash. There's very little chance of it overclocking near where a single 7970 can go, to 1200mhz or more. It's going to be a very toasty card. If you could get to 1200/1200 it would get about 1400mhash.
A 6990 stock gets around 700 mhash. 800 with overclocking.

Since it hasn't been released and we don't know the clocks, no.

after re-reading crazyates post, i think he was being sarcastic... missed that. i'm gettin old.
404 HW errors... dont usually get them, but they happen on linux too. this is out of 350k A shares, so no big deal.
404 HW errors?!?
Yikes
Too bad you can't undervolt in linux

Expensive? Hell ya! Inefficient? It's probably just as "inefficient" as 2 7970s, which is gonna be what, 1100MH/s @ 250W?
EDIT: I'm assuming undervolted, with stock core and downclocked ram.
7970 are NOT inefficient..

I do not like the fact that it will need 3 of the precious PCI cables....
I do not like to use molex connectors. much less having 4 sets of molex adapters on one rig if you want to run 4x7990
7990 should be alright though.

I think the 7990 will came with only two pcie Connectors. AMD alway goes the secure way.
The release dato is unknown anyway, so Powercolor launch this for computex.

So the 7990 will only have 2x8pins for < 375W, and this will be faster clocked but have 3x8pins for ~525W?
Just look at Asus Ares, launched with full 5870 specs.

The 7970 x2
Yes you see right, 3x 8 Pin Connectors.
0_0 so when is this (or the 7990) coming out? I want....
Previous Devil cards have the same red button.
If you push the little red button, it switches to secondary bios (Wish it was a red button like this http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=5unKNLcj8P8).

It even comes with a little red button. What happens if you press the little red button?
A dyed in the wool killer would have asked about the little red button...
