AMD Launches Radeon 7990, the 'World's Fastest GPU'

by Lauren Hockenson in IGN
Would you like to run your favorite graphics-heavy games with a staggering 3840x2160 resolution? That's the promise that AMD makes with the launch of it's newest high-end graphics card, the Radeon HD 7990.

The hefty card actually combines two HD 7970 GPUs on a single board, and has 8.6 billion transistors and more than 4,000 stream processors — comfortably running up to 8.2 teraflops of data . The graphics are also blazingly fast, holding up to 6GBs of DDR5 memory, producing a throughput of 96 gigabytes per second and banning muddy textures on computers for good. VentureBeat adds that it's relatively quiet for such a technology-rich card and it's smart enough to flip into power-saving mode when not in use.
While the Radeon HD 7990 easily bests Nvidia's GeForce GTX 690 cards in both performance and sound, it is also a formidable foe for the latter company's GTX Titan graphics card.
