The AMD Radeon HD 6990 Dual GPU Card is Huge
Heftier than some laptops.
The AMD Radeon HD 6970 may be the top end for the company's graphics division, but it still has that ultra-high-end place to fill. Ladies and gentlemen, this is the upcoming Radeon HD 6990, and it's huge.
Here is the card that makes AMD VP Matt Skynner look small in comparison.
It's a dual Cayman GPU, two slot solution that will become AMD's flagship graphics part for the earlier half of 2011.
Just in time for Crysis 2.

That's what she said
Holy. Crap.
Let's just hope it's performance is good enough to compensate for it's size! And i bet aftermarket companies will be able to fit at least 4 80mm fans on it. That will be an IMPRESSIVE sight
HAH! It's like a brick!
Its Huge Buffalo HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE (anyone from western NY will hate me for this)
an a more serious note, i don't care if the card is huge, i have a decent case (as will most people here who buy this card) and will get to show it off "hey, look at the GPU brick in my case"
That's what she said!
im so hard right now.
Only 1 8 pin and 1 6 pin power connectors. Mmmmm interesting.
I wonder if it's as big as the ASUS 5870x2
Why does it need to be so big. From the reference board it looks like they could consolidate the Power Circuit a lot better while isolating it from the high power heat dissipating devices.
hope the pcb board is reinforced... and i'd probably use somethign to brace it underneath as thats alot of weight on the pci-e slot
Not getting in my case-
Do you install the rest of the computer inside ? =)
I want 2
That looks like about US$630.
Matt Skynner looks like he would be really unpleasant.
It'll need a special case with front and back bracket mounting too big.
A bit late with the news?? Saw this at least 4 days ago somewhere...
Ontopic: That card looks appealing, I want one (uATX doesn't fit 2)... Loving the sexy design here.
Its Huge Buffalo HUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUGE (anyone from western NY will hate me for this)
I hate his commercials, and your right...I do hate you for that :-P
Anyways Id love to see the price on it.
WTF, reference card of that size and one fan? Total joke.
thats what you get when your with 40nm. better switch to 28nm with globalfoundries by Q3 2011
Reminds me of 3dfx Voodoo 5 6000.
LOL Just in time for Crysis 2 to bring it to its knees! How are temps looking?
I think they may need to move to triple slot rather than keep making these things longer. How long is that? I dont think it will fit in anything but an open air case
@mindless yeah i hate you for that too
WTF, reference card of that size and one fan? Total joke.
runs at 15K rpm.
:-)

Billy Fuccillo approves your comment. But seriously, that thing looks like a 70's Cadillac.
Oh cool their deathstar hmmmm
We've finally reached the point where video cards are actually computers that (barely) fit inside another computer.
Well now it's AMD's turn to have a GTX 480 experience lol. It'll perform moderately well, be hot as balls, and sound like a jet engine under full load.
I loled!
It looks like the Monolith (from Space Odyssey).
dual slot card, w/ no other peripherals on the mobo since they wont fit, LN2 cooling since it prob. puts out a ton of heat
