I'm using 550w by vantec ion+2 running 2 hdds,dvd burner, 6 x 12cm led fans plus Audigy 2 ZS platinum with front panel I/O.
Yes.the st56f is more than enough to power up 6870.coz i'm using one as well.

Are you ready?

http://hardocp.com/article/2011/02/26/amd_...les_sneek_peek/

so have you guys ready with your wallet?

Not for me. I'm targetting 28nm card for my next upgrade.

browsing through GSales and found out 2899 for a HD 6990...

same for me. my GTX460 should be able to feed my gaming need until the next series arrive

lol. we have to wait for official announcement from AMD regarding the price.

Based on the price tag of the HD6990, I assume it'll be using two(2) Cayman XT?
imo, 2899 bucks is just too expensive. 2.2k-2.4k seems more reasonable..

i think they will use Cayman XT chip but with lower clock compared to 6970 clock

I believe thats not supposed to be the final price
Should be just slightly more or less than 5970 price tag.

its not worth it guys definately its not even 2x6950s even if it is its downclocked those who want to buy a single 6990 just get 2x 6950s at rm 900x2 and unlock to 6970 and cf

those who want to cf 6990 just get 3x6950 and unlock it because cf 6990 has 4 gpus and no games use 4 gpus except metro 2033 for nvidia and fps is lower than 3 cards when u use 4 cards

same goes with gtx 590 tri sli gtx 570 is better than sli gtx 590 if gtx 560 could do tri sli then it would havee been more awesome

amd 6990 speck leaked.

hd 6990 standard edition will be clocked at 830mhz gpu core. vram at 1250 mhz. OC edition gpu core will be clocked at 880mhz, vram at 1250mhz.

average performance, 68%~110% faster than gtx 580.

if look at the slide, 6990 texture unit (2 gpu) = 192.

6970, texture unit = 96
6950 texture unit = 88

in conclusion, amd 6990 utilize two 6970 gpu clocked at 830 mhz

what ???
They compared HD6990 dual gpu with single gpu GTX 580 & its 68%~110% faster...
Wait for GTX 590 head to head competition...

price? usd 700 or even more? i dont get how the board has 375w to 450 w tdp? it shouldnt cross 300w due to pci express 2.1 limitation

newer batches of 6950 has the 6970bios unlock trick fixed
still its actually more worth it to buy 2x 6950 than a single 6990 that is if assuming 6990 is going to be underclocked versions of its siblings gpus

its always like this.. in the professionals' world they compare the BEST-CARDs regardless single or dual

i think what they mean is the board able to handle up to 450w without melting
