Report: AMD Radeon HD 6990 Posted on 26/04/2011 at 16:54 by Damien
First planned for December, then January, then February, the new captain of the AMD fleet was finally released at the beginning of March. The reason for these delays lies in the complexity of the production of what is a monster card, using two Cayman GPUs, similar to those that equip the Radeon HD 6970. The goal is clear: to replace the Radeon HD 5970 at the same time as underlining AMD’s lead over the GeForce GTX 580 and getting ready to face down the GeForce GTX 590.
