Firstly apparently it only has 2 8-Pins? Im sure the other 7990's have 3?

Also it has horrible outputs with only 4.

Anyone with any thoughts on it?

That is one ugly GPU.

+1 , at least the Powercolour 7990 at least looks nice

That is the power colour one, just with a slightly different colour scheme.

kitkat9933 · 17 Dec 2012 at 21:57

Just read up its a re-badged power colour one.

Good price, but yes butt ugly.

Hmmm at least EK are making a waterblock for it...

Price puts the 690 to shame.

The product description has been drawn to the attention of shop staff to check.

Still rated for 550w, so guess it was a mistype?

What is that thing that comes with it for? Is it some kind of scaffold device to hold it up?

Yep says on the pic "vga supporter"

Yeh it's a little jack to hold up the card it goes under the GPU and then extends to bottom of the case to prop it up.

Just checked it is a rebranded version of the PowerColour 7990, so it should be 3 x 8 Pin Connectors, also 550w is right though, as it falls in line with the other 7990s.

Forget it

Buy a pair of MSI lightnings or Asus platinums - more performance, more fun.

Tbh if i had the spare money i would buy it!.

OCuK do some benchmarks please

Product description now updated.

BaDBoY_uK · 18 Dec 2012 at 14:14

The 6990 only needed two if I remember.

Looking forward to reviews

They are insanely powerful, but unfortunately at the same time do get quite loud too.

If you demand the best performance, then yes get one!

+1

I think mine are great and much faster than a single HD7990

The platinums are worth it just to watch the logo changing colure with load, mine seem to spend a lot of time bright red.

Unfortunately I have not had much time to use them as much as i would like.

While on the statement I would agree, but to be fair GTX690 has some extra done to it which vastly reduce the micro-shuttering - which can possibly deliver a "smoother gameplay" despite it fall shorts of SLI or CF two high-end cards in both spec and frame rate...
