Probably bitcoin very well, on the other hand, how it looks for litecoin with the 7970's, who knows till they are released.

They should codename this GPU Cyprus instead of Malta.

And I thought my HD7950 was overkill.

In next few years HD9950 will make this dual-gpu card weak and obsolete. Remember GeForce 7950GX2 or HD3850x2 ? It is best card to have today. Or probably two of them in CF

I'm not that hardware savvy really lol I've only been learning about hardware more properly so I can fix my computers myself.

Probably bitcoin very well, on the other hand, how it looks for litecoin with the 7970's, who knows till they are released. Essentially 2 HD7970s on one PCB with lower stock clocks. 2 would be only a bit behind quad 7970s and use less electricity. Serious heat output though.

I will pick one of these up for personal use. I have been trying to get the powercolor non reference version of this card but it has been out of stock each time I check. http://www.newegg.com/Product/Product.aspx?Item=N82E16814131483

Yeah the power cooler one looks really cool. Although I don't see a reason why you would pay 1000$ for a dual gpu card when you can get better performance and cheaper by maybe 200$ by picking up 2 hd7970s. Unless you are PCI-E limited. I have this view because I mine AND game. Currently running 7970s x 2 and a HD7850.

Sometimes it is nice to have the best! I do have two pci slots in 'my' machine but I will consider getting two of these 7990's in the end after some time.

I do only buy 3 different cards right now though, 7950, 7970 and someday 7990.

I'm using 7970 CF + 7950 in one of my PC , there is no problem with mining on CrossFire and sometimes you can play BF3 ultra details 100FPS . I just have ordered new 7990 , should be with me on Friday , what I know new models 7990 are taking less power than two Radeon 7970 in CF mode of course at the same clocks I mean .
