pfft no hdmi port. Pointless. *runs* Title: Re: 7970!!!!!!! Post by: joshv06 on June 06, 2012, 06:49:54 PM It probably will have a dvi to hdmi converter like the 5970s. I like that it can be a single slot card! Also, it's a 7990 not 7970 :p
Title: Re: 7970!!!!!!! Post by: crazyates on June 06, 2012, 06:57:11 PM It's not a 7990, either. It's a 7970X2.

If you put 4 of these in a mining rig, you need 12 8pin connectors! Title: Re: 7970!!!!!!!

If you put 4 of these in a mining rig, you need 12 8pin connectors! 4 cards 2 500W each? Good luck finding a 2000W PSU. Even undervolted, you're still looking at a 1200W continuous draw...

IIRC 7970s draw about 150W while mining on air, and 100W on water, per GPU. Title: Re: 7970!!!!!!! Post by: tgmarks on June 06, 2012, 08:12:59 PM Yeah, this thing is a stinking power hungry beast. How soon till we can get a water cooler on one?

IIRC 7970s draw about 150W while mining on air, and 100W on water, per GPU. Exactly. This is 2 7970s, so it'll be close to 300W per card. He's dreaming of 4 of these, so that'd be 1200W of continuous draw, just for the GPUs. Title: Re: 7970!!!!!!!
