i want a 7990! :D

If this goes on a sale for £650 anywhere near payday I'm buying one instantly. Sell those 7970s and relish the silence.
 
I haven't properly read the other thread about the 7990, but its essentially 2 7970s, but does it do what the 690 does which is 2 680s slightly underpowered? or do we not have the proper specs for it yet?

I have seen info stating that performance exceeds Titan, sometimes "substantially", but I haven't seen anything about likely pricing.

Given that it should outperform Titan you should see a fairly impressive bump in performance over your 6990.

But the 7990 is a dual chip board is it not?
 
2x GTX680 = £820.00
1x GTX690 = £760.00

2x HD 7970 = £620.00
2x HD 7970 Ghz = £700.00
1x HD 7990 = Should be max £600.00, for £500 I would buy it :D

I would be running 3x7950 for £690.00 if my MB had support for 3.

Just been looking to buy another 7970 for xfire, going to hold off for now and see what the 7990 comes in at, i could sell the 7970 to help with the cost or just keep it for tri fire
 
There must be something about wanting to upgrade 6990 for 7990....I'm thinking the same about mine.
 
Same here, my 6990 is at its limit these days, only just running crysis and farcry 3 on max settings on a playable frame rate, I think its days are limited with the upcomming BF4

Indeed it is, and I only reference Titan performance vs 7990 as it should give the OP some idea of the likely performance jump in moving from 6990 to 7990.

7990 really competes against the GTX690 but the Titan, although a single GPU solution, delivers fairly similar performance.
