AMD Radeon HD 7990 Clock Speeds, Chip-Configuration Surface
Closely trailing the launch of NVIDIA's GeForce GTX 680, and keeping up with its own streak of launching a new graphics card line each month since January, AMD will unveil its Radeon HD 7990 graphics card in April, or so it's reported. INPAI reports the clock-speed and chip-configuration of the upcoming dual-GPU monstrosity. The Radeon HD 7990 packs two 28 nm "Tahiti" GPUs as a "Crossfire on a stick" solution. The Tahiti chips will be clocked at 850 MHz (core), and 1250 MHz (5.00 GHz effective) memory.
The chip-configuration of each of the two Tahiti chips will be the same as that on the Radeon HD 7970, with 2048 Graphics CoreNext stream processors, 128 TMUs, 32 ROPs, and 384-bit wide GDDR5 memory interface, holding 3 GB of memory, each. The total memory on the card will hence be 6 GB. With the Radeon HD 7970 refusing to budge from its US $549 price-point, it's quite natural that the Radeon HD 7990 will be priced very high. It is gunning to retain the performance crown that's currently disputed between the Radeon HD 6990 and GeForce GTX 590.

Don't blame me for piss poor software design.
I've used cards from both camps and I've never had issues with their cards so i don't know why I said that :laugh:
I have never had a problem with Nvidia drivers, but AMD\ATi give me issues now and then. For the past 6-12 months every time I update my drivers they fail to install properly. I have to uninstall the old ones, restart, driver sweep, restart, ccleaner, restart, then install the new ones and hope they properly install, about 50% of the time they give me a random grey box instead of the happy green check mark and say basically "some shit happened, I dunno".
:p
Nice one :nutkick:
Either way it sucks.
