AMD is not going to make a reference model, which is why the powercolor card has been changed from a 7970x2 to a 7990.
What a bunch of dumbasses, how the hell does AMD screw the pooch like this?

Let's see... how can AMD do something stupid? Now for anyone that's been mining long enough, this question is about as rhetorical as they get...

Does it not give partners more options in creating a card when they do not have to follow a reference design?

I would assume thats true, But at the same time there becomes nolonger a "standard working 6990" that companies expand off of (by chaging coolers/sinks/fans/caps/ports/etc) So we could get ALOT of SHIT "7990's"

Caught a quick note saying PowerColor had already made a gargantuan tri-slot cooler at true 7990 speeds but not sure when it'll be released. I don't think AMD themselves seems to be making a model - that'd be quite different than previous cards for sure.
But either way at that point by the time you could get ahold of one, it'd probably make more sense to go ASIC unless you could use the card for other GPU projects, gaming, or business.

I wanted them for bitcoin until ASIC and then other computer jobs after that. If they had gotten it right it should have been a very efficient card, especially under volted.
