News - Dual-GPU AMD Radeon HD 6990 sneaks out of the lab

Ignore what women say, length does matter ok?! (although this one is more than sorted for girth as well!)

It's how you install it that counts. Slot alignment and sufficient power are crucial.

What in percentage terms can an onboard GPU add to a fully fledged GPU?

Depends on the onboard GPU, I'd've though The 80 shader GPU in Zacate APUs, probably not so much.

Llano parts, however, should have somewhere between 320 and 480 shaders in their GPU (depending on which rumour you listen to), which is roughly equivalent to a 4670 or 5670. So add a 6570 to a Llano APU and you could get some pretty tasty crossfire performance...

SCAN STOP SELLING 5970 2GB


Maybe the 6990 is going to be here soon, not sure why they have dropped the 5970 completely. Before the release of the 6990.

Question is though are they going to keep the 5970 4Gb and how much is the 6990 4GB going to be?

I'm interested

And as for size - I'd be removing all that heaksink bulk and replacing it with a nice slim waterblock
