The 7990 is basically two 7970s in crossfire. Powercooler Implemented this before AMD officially did.

AMDs card is reportedly quieter. The Devil 13 probably has a better power supply and I am guessing a better cooler. Although AMD had a lot of time to tweak. Same idea though, AMD just didn't really need to bring it out and I think they were, as Nvidia has done, saving the supply of 7990 configs for HP computing. As its very expensive, I don't recommend it unless you are running multiple screens.

Agreed. The gpu manufacturers have gotten awfully greedy lately. And I though a 500 dollar card was a bad value.
Powercolor's 7990 uses a lot more power, produces a lot more heat, takes up 3 expansion slots, is a lot more noisy and needs a push of a button to activate the boost function.
AMD's reference 7990 uses less power, produces less heat, takes up only 2 expansion slots. is quiet and has higher clocks and better performance than the powercolor 7990.
