AMD HD6990 Review @ KitGuru

The battle for frame rate supremacy is always fun to watch, as AMD and Nvidia joust for top position with multi-million dollar R&D budgets. While the ultra high end cards generate only a small percentage of sales for either company, the performance leader will often generate sales lower down the chain. That is how the enthusiast ‘state of mind’ works.

There is no doubting that Nvidia’s GTX580 is one of the finest graphics cards money can buy – we use them at KitGuru regularly for gaming and folding@home. However, equally so, AMD followers are proud to say that the HD5970 is still the fastest graphics card on the market.

Well that is until today, as AMD have just released the replacement – The Antilles HD6990.

AMD Radeon HD 6990 Review @ Neoseeker

We've got a whopper of a Radeon on the line today with the AMD HD 6990, featuring dual Cayman XT based GPUs clocked at 830MHz, 4GB of memory, 5-way Eyefinity support right out of the box, and the audaciously named "AUSUM" (Antilles Unlocking switch for Uber Mode) BIOS switch you can flip right on the card itself to unleash the "Uber Mode", bringing the GPU speeds right up to 880MHz each. That's before doing any overclocking of our own! It's a monster right down to its power consumption of a maximum 450W, so good thing it's got brand new PowerTune on-board power regulation.

The HD 6990 promises to be 67% better in game performance than the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580, supposedly its closest competitor. Hit our HD 6990 launch review to see if it can stand on a class of its own!

AMD Radeon HD 6990 Review: Antilles Has Arrived @ HotHardware.com

The product we'll be featuring here today, the AMD Radeon HD 6990, should come as no surprise to anyone that even remotely stays on top of the PC graphics scene. News of the Radeon HD 6990's arrival has been circulating for many months now, although back in the early days it was referred to by its codename-Antilles. Antilles was the codename given to the dual-Cayman GPU powered graphics card that would eventually top AMD's graphics card line-up and supplant the Radeon HD 5970 that's served the company so well, since its release way back in November of '09.

While news of Antilles development wasn't really news at all, considering AMD's GPU design philosophy these past few years with the likes of the previous generation Radeon 4870 X2 and Radeon HD 5970, the actual final specifications of the Radeon HD 6990 were unclear for quite some time. But we've got the full scoop for you today...

AMD Radeon HD 6990 Antilles Video Card @ Benchmark Reviews

If you're an enthusiast gamer who demands only the highest level of performance that far surpasses mainstream standards, then it's your lucky day because the AMD Radeon HD 6990, code named Antilles, was designed to do exactly that. Using a new VLIW4 shader core architecture and equipped with 4GB GDDR5 256-bit video frame buffer, dual Cayman GPUs offer a total of 3072 stream processors. While the Radeon HD 6990 accomplishes the performance of two Radeon HD 6970's in CrossFireX, AMD also adds accelerated multimedia playback and transcoding, AMD HD3D stereoscopic technology, and support for the 3D Blu-ray multi-view CODEC (MVC). The AMD Radeon HD 6990 utilizes several new MSAA modes including Enhanced Quality Anti-Aliasing (EQAA), which Benchmark Reviews tests in some of the most popular DirectX-11 video games.

AMD Radeon HD 6990 review

AMD placed two Cayman XT GPUs (R6970) onto one PCB and allows them to be clocked at R6970 speeds as well, in fact you'll get options in clock-frequencies and TDP with the help of a small micro-switch seated on the card, each leads to a BIOS, one with more acceptable TDPs and the other enabled a higher clock frequency mode.

Cayman XT GPUs, that means the full shader processor count inside that GPU is available, that sums up towards 3072 shader processors. In short, this graphics card is a beast, hence we wrote 24 pages of content on it, read the full review right here.
