ColorFire Ready with Radeon HD 6790 Graphics Card
New and notable graphics card manufacturer from the east, ColorFire, is ready with its Radeon HD 6790 graphics card, the Colorful associate brand is starting with a non-reference design card like every other AIB. Despite making some necessary cost-cutting in terms of components, ColorFire didn't compromise on features such as dual-BIOS, hardware-based voltage control, and a powerful-looking cooler. Further, ColorFire's card needs just one 6-pin power connector, contradicting reports that HD 6790 needs two.
ColorFire implemented a 4+1 phase VRM using standard chokes and MOSFETs, but saw to it that at least high-grade Japan-made solid-state capacitors are put in place of POSCAP capacitors. The cooler uses an aluminum fin heatsink to which heat is fed by three heat pipes. In all likelihood, ColorFire will stick to its existing markets of Asia and Europe.

no they are not, they are an asia only company, i think they are with colorful
and wtf is up with your numbering these days AMD? have not been this confused by numbers since MATH105
EDIT Nevermind April 5th
Wait for a review. Read a chart. Make a choice.
As long as they aren't in fractions I think I can manage..."This just in, AMD releases the HD=6890XT/6790XTX!!"...aww crap.
I think all these companies are getting lazy
PowerColor AX6790 1GBD5-DH Radeon HD 6790 1GB 256-...
I don't think these were ever going to have two six pins.
