PowerColor HD 7990 Devil13 Priced at 999 Euros

PowerColor HD 7990 Devil13 Priced at 999 Euros radeon 7990
PowerColor’s new Radeon HD 7990 Devil13 is now available in stores with a price tag of 999 Euros.

Long story short, this card is more expensive than GeForce GTX 690, which is not a good information. In fact, if we compare the CrossFire HD 7970 configuration to GTX 690 performance, the Radeon’s would be faster in few games, and slower in others, but we also have to mention the power consumption, which will be much higher with Radeon model. Also if we consider the fact that PowerColor’s card is not even a GHz Edition card (with a boost clock), then it would be much cheaper to grab two Club3D 7970′s for €370 (€740 in total).

NVIDIA GeForce GTX 690 is available for €917 (KFA2 GTX 680 €410), while the lowest price of PowerColor Radeon HD 7990 is €989. Also worth noticing is that GeForce GTX 690 is only a reference-based card, while PowerColors’ HD 7990 is custom-desgined, but still there is no reference model of HD 7990 and there won’t be.

Many thanks to Skr13 for a tip

  • AMD >< NVIDIA

    Way too expensive

  • Hobo

    Can i use this as furnace too?

  • MOSLER

    Yeah, it’s too expensive. It’s lagrer, hotter, consumes more power but slower and more expensive. $700 – Best price for this breeze block.

    It’s too expensive, but people who buy this don’t really care about how much it costs… It’s better, faster, quieter and cooler than any other card out there (in relevance). Also did I mention that it takes less slots? people that say just get 2 7970 in cfx and it’s the same thing… 2 7970 take 4 slots, Gonna pick 2 of those babes ones they hit the stores here.

    Its ugly compared to gtx690. It seems to much Plastic. But this doesnt really matter, I’ll stick with my gtx690 for now. Gtx680 still perform better then the 7970 in the game that matter, so I guess slied HD7970 for single monitor will be still out performed by gtx 690.

    What does that mean for games that matter? HD7970 GE CF crushes GTX690:
    http://www.xbitlabs.com/articles/graphics/display/geforce-gtx-690-sli.html

    This card though is worthless since it won’t have 1200mhz+ overclocking headroom of the 7970 GE CF, nor the price/performance factor of GTX670 SLI / HD7950 OC CF.

    GTX690 is the better card but it doesn’t say much since that card gets owned hard in price/performance by GTX670 SLI for $760-800 and in performance by HD7970 @ 1050mhz. Overclock those 7970s, and it’s going to trail by 20%.

    At least the 690 works well in small cases but overall, both cards are awful values.

    I’m sorry I brought it this way, I meant that most game where amd perform better are mostly games I’m not into, like Metro 2033, dirt and games like this. Seems the most popular games always run better on NVIDIA, and this is coming from an ex Amd fan, always bought amd before this year.

    I dont agree on gtx670 in sli are better then a gtx 690. Before I buy my 690 I had sli’ed 670 and I had less fps in bf3, crysis and lower 3dmark score. I also had more problem with my 2 cards setting, I had to constantly fine tune my setting to achieve good performace (this might be due to a faulty card though, I sent both back for a refund)

    Awful value? Mabe it is, but at the time I purchased my 690 for 1k the gtx 680 was going for approx 500$. Same value for like what 3-7% less performance…

    I hear they’re going to be using them in the new Boeing plane as the jet engines
