Looks like AMD can’t be bothered to wait for NVIDIA anymore. After much teasing here and there, AMD’s new dual-GPU graphics monster – the Radeon HD 6990 – is finally ready to meet the market. Equipped with 4GB of GDDR5 memory that runs at 1250MHz, the card comes with two BIOS so that users can either run its processor at the standard clock speed of 830MHz or boost the speed up to 880MHz by just flicking a switch. According to the company, the card is able to churn out more than 11000 points in the 3DMark11 benchmark suite.
AMD also introduced a new dynamic power management technology into the card that is called PowerTune which allows the card to run to automatically tune its output according to application's demand. Of course, being a Radeon HD 6000 series card, standard features such as DirectX 11 support, Eyefinity multi-display technology, EyeSpeed visual accelerators, HD3D capability and integrated HD audio controller are also included in this card. CrossFire X capability is available on this card as well, specially for those who are crazy enough to pair two of this card together.
The new AMD Radeon HD 6990 is already available in the market with a price tag that starts at RM 2119 (USD 699). For further information, head on to your favourite retailer or AMD's official website at www.amd.com. Before you do that though, check out the card’s product shots right after the jump.
