"The enthusiast audience waited throughout 2012 for AMD to come up with a dual GPU HD7970 solution. In the end they failed to deliver, so it fell onto partners to create a solution. Powercolor, VTX3D and Club3d all released the HD7990 last year – a monster dual GPU designed to battle head to head with the Nvidia GTX690.
We reviewed the VTX3D HD7990 on December 29th and it walked away with one of our highest awards, due to a competitive price to performance ratio.
Parting with £680 for a graphics card would seem a completely insane move for most people, but it is worth remembering that the Nvidia GTX690 still retails around the £800-£850 mark. Trying to work out ‘value for money’ at this price point does seem crazy.
We won’t retread old ground today, if you want to catch up, then follow the link above for the review on the single HD7990. When I initially reviewed the card I smiled when I saw the Crossfire connector bundled in the box. Quadfire was something I wanted to try, but at the time I couldn’t get my hands on two of the cards."
