PowerColor Devil 13 HD 7990 Revealed

TUL Corporation, a leading manufacturer of AMD graphic cards, today reveals the 1st and only dual TAHITI XT GPU solution: the PowerColor Devil 13 HD7990. Designed to tackle the demanding HD titles, the Devil 13 HD7990 has default settings at 925 MHz engine clocks and 1375 MHz memory clocks. Furthermore, it's equipped with dual BIOS switch button, boosting up the engine frequencies to 1 GHz, breaking out the limitation of extremely gaming performance.

Solidly-Built Design
The Devil 13 HD7990 is built with high efficiency thermal solution and solid components onboard. With trio fans and 10pcs U-shape heat pipes, maximizing the heat dissipated ability to cool down the Devil 13 board. Also, it includes 12+2+2 phases, digital PWM, super cap, UHB and PowerIRstage—all these platinum power kit enhances stability and reliability voltage for GPU with minimum conduction losses and lower temperatures at load, delivering the steadiest and most secure power to boost for performance.





Devil13 Deluxe Pack
The Devil 13 HD7990 includes industry leading brand, Wiha Tool Kit; with Wiha multiple reversible blades set, gamers can easily utilize different blades to fix every machine. Also, it packs with PowerColor PowerJack, the professional graphics card supporter which provides the powerful force to support the weight of the card from the back, avoiding card bending in the case.

Well at least someone has stepped up to the plate and made a dual Tahiti. Now of course this being their "Devils 13" Card this their equivalent of say Sapphires "Toxic" line so this things not gonna be cheap at all. Waits patiently to see the price on this beast.

The last Devils 13 was a 6970 and had almost a $200 premium over a regular 6970. Any bets on the price? A GTX 690 is a $1000 so Powercolor would be smart to undercut that...

I've been using a GTX 670 SLI setup for a couple of months now and I have to say that dual GPU cards like this are overkill for a single monitor setup. I bought three 1080p monitors for a 3d surround setup. It is not as good as a single high resolution monitor because of the bezels and the elongated overall aspect ratio. If 4K or 8K monitors become mainstream, it'll be a huge boost for PC gaming. Right now good 4K monitors like this one are as expensive as mid-range cars.

I'd be happy with 2560x1440.

Even the 15" macbook pro has a better resolution at 2880 x 1800 . We PC gamers need something better than that.

I see they changed the Fans from 3 x 80MM to 2x 92MM and 1x 80MM.

Other than that, poor PCI-E Slot :P

I never tried that. I went with a surround setup because three 1080p monitors are less expensive (~$450) than a single 2560x1600 monitor (~$1200) and offers 50% more pixels.

I can manage the bessels, but I hate the 48:9 aspect ratio.

Why on earth would you buy anything more than a GTX670 for 1080p?

ya this card reminds me of several trislot cards in past- always have issue with a dual crossfire or SLI setup especially if you want other PCI e boards such as , sound, SSD/RAID/SCSI/SAS/, NIC, capture, USB,
