My GOD MAN! HD 7990 is ANCIENT......................i would absolutely recommend the R9 290X because it SUPERIOR to the HD 7990 and also lower priced................YOU WIN FROM BOTH SIDES
 


This should be true, but it really isn't. AMD is still selling GPUs based on chips with pretty much identical technology. The chip is two generations old, but when you throw two of those chips together like on the 7990, it really does compete favorably with a single 1 gen old chip that was never even top-of-the-line.
