    [PCWORLD] AMD provides a sneak peek at its Radeon HD 7990

    After seeing that triple fan dual GPU FirePro card a while back I had a feeling they'd reuse the cooler design, especially after the negativity around the 6990 noise. Looks like it uses a similar power delivery setup as the 6990 from that weird angled PCB shot.

    6990 powers down in any game

    58-62c on the VRMs is very very normal for a 6990. My 6990's vrms used to be at 50c when the card was completely idle. It's not uncommon for them to get close to 100c under load. There's an issue there somewhere though. Good luck getting it replaced.

    Market Share

    I think that reason has more to do with Nvidia being a more recognizable brand. 33% market share implies Nvidia has some sort of significant technological lead, which they really don't.

    7970 Lightning BE isn't a GHz edition card?

    So I ordered a 7970 Lightning BE and have received it. What's strange is that although it's supposed to be a boost card, it has the old 7970 Lightning clocks (1070/1400) and doesn't boost. It also has a 1.175v stock voltage. I'm actually happy about this as I hate all boost features but I'm...

    6990 + 6970. Does the slot order matter?

    I have the same situation. 6990 in slot 1 and 6970 in slot 2 with the plug in the 6970. As well as the stuff listed above, another weird side effect is that if your display drivers ever crash, they won't recover correctly and you'll have to do a hard reset. Another annoying problem is when you...

    GTX Titan (final specs and bench)?

    Oh man I get so giddy when new graphics hardware is around the corner. All this talk about pricing and such is lame

    7970's

    Why not just grab the 2 cheapest reference cards you can find? It'll end up cheaper than Titan and you'll have more power. Crossfiring non-reference cards kind of negates the temperature advantage of nonreference coolers as they just spew air into each other. There's also no advantage to...

    AMD Catalyst 13.2 BETA 5 (12.100.17.0 February 2)

    Probably not. I was sitting on beta 3. Only reason I grabbed these is I still play FC3. My years with AMD have taught me to stay with what works unless there's good reason :p

    Worth switching from 6990 to 7970?

    I just made the switch OP. In BF3 the 6990 (950/1350) was quite a bit faster but for most other things the 7970 (1125/1500) is usually pretty even. The titles that are traditionally a pain in the ass to get working nicely (Far Cry 3, Skyrim, most console ports) are where the 7970 tends to get...

    AMD acknowledges driver stuttering issues

    After trying to play Far Cry 3 with a 6990 I consider Skyrim to be silky smooth :p. After I stopped playing my head was all weird, it was like real life was stuttering too

    Spare 6990, what to do

    Would it perform at a reasonable level given the power draw? The boinc wiki indicates the 6990 is the top AMD card as the graph sorts by DP performance. If DP = boinc performance (I have no idea I'm just assuming) then it looks like the 6990 would net 25%ish more ppd than a 7970?

    Spare 6990, what to do

    Title says it. I've replaced my 6990 with a 7970. As stupid as it sounds I like to keep high end hardware I've used rather than sell it. The 6990 has yet to outlive it's usefulness though so I'm wondering what I should do with it. I'd like it to be put to a good cause (so no Bitcoins) so I...

    Lightning BE vs Matrix Platinum

    I've just built a new rig that I'd like to last for a solid 2-3 years. I'm avoiding multi-gpu - been there done that, got really sick of the hassle. I've built the rig but I'm still without a GPU. I've decided 7970 instead of the GTX 680 as I believe it to be as of now quicker and more...
