Any 6990 rumors? Pics?

6990 performance will be between a 6950 and 6970 crossfire performance.
I'd look into two 6950s unlocked to 6970s. At $600 bucks (or $560 if you get the gigabytes) its prob going to be the best bang for your buck if you have a crossfire capable motherboard.

if you have a crossfire capable motherboard.
Not hard to get one of those. Most mATX boards come with 2 PCI-E sots now a days.

this. and really the 6990 is pretty much for people that want quadfire or bragging rights to the fastest of all cards. or the very few that don't have room.
I have a Gigabyte EP45-DS3L. It only has one 2.0X16 pci-e slot. The rest are PCI-E X1. That, and my psu will probably not run two 6950s. Plus, I do not want to rebuild for this just yet. I will when I can get a new cpu, mobo, ram.
I hate to break this to you , but the 5970 is two gpus in one card , the 6990 will be the same thing. it will simply be either two 6950s or 6970s. The 5970 i believe were 5870s but at 5850 clock speeds. So we might see a fully enabled 6950 but lower clocked than the 6970.
If your power supply wont run crossfired 6970s or 6950s it will most likely not run a 6990
Single slot cards are required to draw under 300 watts,even if its duel gpu. So 6950s or 6970s In crossfire will probably draw more power and require a higher watt psu.I hate to break this to you , but the 5970 is two gpus in one card , the 6990 will be the same thing. it will simply be either two 6950s or 6970s.
