It looks like neither of the two new dual-processor graphics cards can claim absolute superiority in games. The Radeon HD 6990 and the GeForce GTX 590 won the same number of my tests and delivered the same performance in the rest of them. We have this...
Abstract: There is always a constant and tough struggle for supremacy among the manufacturers of computer components like CPUs, graphics cards, system memory modules, coolers, etc. There is fierce competition in each price category, especially among top-end prod...
AMD Radeon HD 6990 demonstrated the truly highest performance, except for Formula 1 and Just Cause 2. In the former case the CrossFireX mode could not be enabled due to drivers. In the second case VSync could not be disabled despite correct settings. ...
And there you have it, the world's fastest graphics card (for now). Truth be told, Nvidia will surely be prepping a dual-GPU response of its own, so even the well-heeled gamer shouldn't dive headlong just yet.<>Of course, therein lies the rub of livin...

The IT industry is like a two-edge sword. On the one hand, it is very good for the end-users that the technological evolution and innovation move at such an impressive speed. In as little as eighteen months there is a brand new series of products on t...
As keen as we were to check out the Radeon HD 6990, after working with a number of dual-GPU Radeon generations we knew we weren't in for a big surprise. The Radeon HD 6990 is very similar to the older HD 5970 minus a few notable improvements. In terms...
Wrapping things up, there's little we need to say that wasn't already evident in our graphs. The 6990 is a halo card and succeeds at such – by packing two Cayman GPUs on a single card, it is without question the fastest video card on the market today. At...
I can only see two reasons that anyone would buy a Radeon HD 6990, given the other options currently available. First, because this is a dual-slot card, you’re able to fit two of them in an ATX chassis and enjoy the potential of quad-CrossFire. The lis...
We had high expecations of the HD6990 and the card definitely delivered. It is extremely gratifying to know that we can play just about any game at the maximum setting and still get great framerates. Needless to say, this card is fast. We liked Eyefin...
Aaah, as an actor from the TV series Friends once said in peace and tranquility, Unagi. The Radeon HD 6990 is a very impressive card. And for this conclusion we have a lot to talk about.So with the very short time we had available to make this article, we...
