7990 card ditched?

[subbytna]

Hearing over on toms hardware that the 7990 is not going to happen? Anyone else heard that? Or am I just late to the party

Late to the party bud but there is a 7990 out but not from AMD

Are there any new cards from AMD this month? Yes and no. Although it appears that the company has quietly abandoned plans to launch its own official Radeon HD 7990, PowerColor, HIS, and VTX3D are all manufacturing their own dual-GPU Tahiti-based cards, which feature the same 925 MHz core and 1375 MHz memory clock rates as the vanilla Radeon HD 7970 (not the GHz Edition). PowerColor's Radeon HD 7990 Devil 13 is available on ****** for £800, but they had limited at time of writing.

and

There won't be a reference one direct from AMD though.

The Club 3D Radeon HD 7990 Dual GPU takes full advantage of the features that Windows 8 has to offer with the Radeon HD 7000 series GCN architecture.
