The Radeon HD 6990 is very similar to the olderHD 5970minus a few notable improvements.
What we have here is a pair of slightly dilutedRadeon HD 6970 GPUssqueezed onto a single PCB.
It was also 66% faster than a singleRadeon HD 6970, with Crossfire scaling well on most scenarios.
While this all sounds very positive, we consider the steep$700 price tagto be a showstopper.
Meanwhile, most of these cards can be unlocked to HD 6970 specifications making them a seriously good value.
It’s certainly nice having the option.
What you should know: performance difference was negligible when overclocking the card.
