Does it get that 1.3Ghash/s?

maybe it gets 3ghash and thats why hes keeping it hush hush
3GH/s still wouldn't be worth the 999 price tag. Tongue

Powercolor Devil 13 7990.
Link to Album with actual voltage measurements. http://imgur.com/a/kFqHC#2 The real voltage is 0.944 while afterburner shows 1.000

One question: Why?  Unless I'm missing something, this has no place in mining.  A year ago maybe, but not now.  

Bragging rights?  Gaming?  Had $1000 (or equiv) sitting around burning a hole in your (virtual) pocket?  Think it's going to be a cold winter, needed an extra heat source?

I'm sure it looks nice.. would I want one?  No..

Depends on the cost of electricity and resale value.  If it hashes at 1.3 Gh/s and makes 5 USD a day and you can resell it next month for $900, then you made $50.  Assuming your power costs are low.  Would I buy one? No.  Is it cool?  Cool yes.

OR?! Maybe people that are buying it think ASIC is a lie and are hedging their bets on them not actually being released.  /fud

Sexy Card, im still hoping on getting one. Did you have any fitment issues like the techpowerup review ?
It's huge, much bigger than than a reference 7970. Will not fit inside most ATX cases without some elbow grease and a dremel. One more issue (maybe it's system specific) is the inability to tweak the voltage of second gpu. MSI afterburner can tweak voltage of the first Tahiti chip but not the second (/stuck at 1.17V).

My bad, i was meaning fittment issues with the heatsink not contacting GPU's.

Thanks for the pic btw.
