If you check on newegg all the 7990s are discontinued,i was planning on getting one for blackfriday?

Anyone know of any other online retailer doing deals on high end GPUs?

I'm gonna be honest with you ok, the 7990 has a lot of issues with some games, could be the reason it is being discontinued , a lot of people have complained about them, they have issues with crossfire and drivers.
If you are looking for a fast new card I would suggest getting a 290 or 780 instead , or if you really want to go crossfire , get 2 x 7970 or 280X

Factor in price, noise, power consumption and the inevitability of Crossfire problems, and that 30% performance advantage isn't all that great in the real world. Theres a reason the 7990 is discontinued.

Besides, if you are saying you have a 22" monitor, you are probably at 1080p or below. All of these cards are super huge overkill for that res, and anything higher than 2GB of VRAM is more than enough.
