change name and color of the cover + advertisement = mega marketing move when next gens cards is coming .

So is this a real 7990 at last, or a 7970 X2?

There will be no official 7990, if that's what you mean by saying "real". Does this even look like a reference AMD card?

This is similar to 7990 Devil13, but with lower clocks and nicer looking cooler shroud.

There is No Reference 7990, if there was AMD would of produced a board. This is just a lowered version of the Devil 13 since i can only guess pricing was too much on the devil 13

renz496 · Oct 4, 2012, 08:07 AM

any words on pricing?

Prima.Vera · Oct 4, 2012, 08:33 AM

3 Slot is OK for a dual GPU card....

HammerON · Oct 4, 2012, 08:40 AM

Interesting...
But a listing price would be nice.

rpsgc · Oct 4, 2012, 09:48 AM

The Devil 13 costs $1000, so... this one will be slightly cheaper. Probably $950?

I was just checking if AMD had snuck a reference design out the door while I wasn't looking.

Thanks, wasn't sure if AMD had officially given up on a reference 7990 or not.

mtosev · Oct 4, 2012, 03:45 PM

so this should be at least 200usd cheaper than the other 7990 card that powercolor released a short while ago

radrok · Oct 4, 2012, 06:25 PM

Well if this is 200 USD cheaper than the Devil 13 then it is a good deal and what it should have been from day one.

tacosRcool · Oct 4, 2012, 07:56 PM

when is the real one gonna come out?

if you are referring to a official AMD 7990 card then probably never

Super XP · Oct 4, 2012, 08:45 PM

Wouldn't touch this. It would be different if AMD actually had a reference design. The best choice would be to wait for the HD 8900 series rumoured to be coming out sometime in Q1 2013.

radrok · Oct 6, 2012, 04:53 PM

Club3D is getting this one rebranded for Europe I guess

eidairaman1 · Oct 6, 2012, 05:52 PM

ok if you want the scoop on the 7990 look in the news archives for this site about 3-4 months back
