Today we're looking at a graphics card I've been trying to find a great deal on for a while, the Asus Radeon HD 7990. Combining the power of two 7970s this dual GPU powerhouse once retailed for $1000. I found this one for just £55 ($70), though it did come with an apparent catch...
So let's take a look at this dual GPU beast and talk about the positives and negatives of using a card like this with modern games.
Thanks for watching :)

Oh i do hope so nVidia could use a good kick in the gut ATI/AMD has always been force over finesse when it came to GPU performance and they have the tech to throw out more raw compute power than nVidia's architecture could come close to matching almost half the fab size and their infinity fabric will make for some amazing cards.

A piece of History? This thing runs on the first iteration of the GCN architecture. Yes the same GCN that vega is the 5th iteration of. With crossfire working well this dual gpu will stomp a 1060 or RX 580 and it will keep up with cards like the 1070. The 7000 series is the best AMD has produced in recent years and its not obsolete as "piece of history" implies as shown in the video.

Multi-gpu in UE4 not supported(some issues with deffered rendering and msaa, if i recall corectly). Also, i own laptop with 750m in sli and for past-gen games(and some current-gen) it was a perfect deal, but for now m-gpu solutions have sense only for benchmark insanity - you literally have +40-60% of perfomance for +100%(if you already have atleast mobo with m-gpu support and beafy psu) of money, consumption and noise. And it's only for 2-way sli/cf, 3 or 4-way is just crazy unefficient.

Still wrong. The way this card is designed is with 6GB of VRAM, it is 6gb of VRAM per card, the cards may still be on the same pcb but each "card" has access to its own 6gb therefor in practice it is still a 6gb card. no it doesnt stack and no this doesnt make this a 12gb card. it just means that its 2 6gb cards on the same pcb.

Love the video!! I have a 7950 Boost on my GF's PC and I have 1 970s in SLi in mine. Multi card configs are not optimal but it's much better than advertised everywhere... When I bought my 2 970s there was no 980Ti yet... Yet this setup is about 5% faster or about a factory OCed 980Ti. We owners of multi-gpu setups simply look in the internet for info on SLi/crossfire support before buying games, and it's never a bad thing, from the games I own, only 20% doesn't offer SLi support and only the games that support are the ones that would really need it. It's a much less painful thing than is decribed everywhere.

Yeah, I love my duel Fury so much, I'm going to try 4x once I get a board that supports it. Those 2x Fury cost $400 total and beat my Titan Xp (now only $800 used, though I paid $1200 earlier this year), so all 4x Fury cost the same as 1 used Titan... Not a bad deal considering 2x was already better. Running 4k: Furys make a nice smooth 60 fps in Crysis 3 Ultra (no AA) with Titan Xp collectors edition making ~50 fps and much choppier. I really want to try running some games at 3x 4k, but obviously the single Titan just wasn't going to cut it when it makes only 67 fps in Fortnite at 4k (no AA).

Yeah, probably just because they are older cards and less supported. My duel Fury didn't need that. I also have a Titan Xp, but for any game that supports multi-GPU (most of mine) then the 2x Fury wins. For some fun, I went ahead and bought some more so I can try 4x Fury (same price used as the cheapest I've found my Titan). They are cheap enough, if I blow a couple up with LN2 benchmarking, I really won't care. I saw the Radeon world record Firestrike looking pretty low with 4x Fury X, and I think it will be a fun challenge to see if I can break that record with 4x Fury (non-X) with hardware voltage mods. Like I said, if they ALL break, its still less cost than breaking a Titan, and I HATE overclocking Pascal. When I tell a card what to do, it's not a negotiation, but Pascal thinks it is...

This brings to mind my recent purchase of a SAPPHIRE 290X Tri X for $65 on ebay... I won the bid @ $80 but had a $15 off coupon and shipping was free :) It also reminds me of how the R9 280X was a rehash of the 7970 & the 290X was new architecture at that time (also rebranded as the R9 390 thereafter)... Hardware is aging better and netter, but we'll see an end to that once games can advance once more when a new round of consoles come out... Just the way of the gaming world :\ I would love to see another Crysis come around where the latest GPUs are taken to their knees with a title that even the best consoles cannot run... I would pay $100+ for something like that.

when two cards in sli or crossfire, their individual VRAM doesn't combine coz both have to have the same image every time either card renders it, therefore it still is 3gb effectively not 6gb. sorry for broke english. :-p

Through a game of chance, I acquired an XFX DD Radeon 7990(ive actually not seen another like it, its the triple fan version though, and is a full triple slot card) anyway, I have Fortnite running on it just fine with Crossfire enabled. I have not done a lot of experimentation yet, its possible the newer drivers either auto disable it internally when a game does not support it, or it is possible they worked something out and it now supports it, OR... its possible Fortnite now supports crossfire... but regardless, everything seems to be working fine. I also had no problems enabling Crossfire either, I installed the driver, it recognized a 7900 series card, restarted and it saw both cards and offered up crossfire support

A UPS with a monitoring screen or a power meter (think that's what it's called) will actually give you a pretty clear idea (if the PC is only running) on how much wattage your whole system is pulling from the wall, though you'd need to invest in a pretty beefy one for the former.

Only crossfire I've messed about with is recently with two hd 5770's in a core 2 quad q6600 system overclocked too 3.0 ghz & 4 gb 1066 mhz ram. Card will probably last quite well if you do stick with an fps limiter on for most older titles with a game profile in the drivers & say 72 fps on something like Borderlands 2 in a spare system.

I used to run a pair of GTX 650 Ti Boost in SLI. What a fantastic budget setup that was! You basically had the performance of an overclocked GTX 680 2GB, but for roughly 60% of what the 680 would cost you. That setup could even match the supreme Asus HD 7970 Matrix Platinum in raw performance numbers, and in some games running in 1080p It was also capable of running certain games in 1440p at decent framerates. It was a surprisingly smooth running setup too. I never had that many issues regarding micro-stuttering either, so that was a nice plus. And I could really utilize the cards to their full potential when I upgraded my CPU back in 2014. Went from the FX-8120 to the Core i7 4790K, and what a difference that made! Of course, titles that came after the Kepler era would be harder to run.

I need to retest wolfenstein 2 on my 3gb radeon 7970. Last year I was only getting 45fps average with high fluxuation between 22-60fps ( could be higher with vsync off). I played the game 2-3 weeks after release with the most up to date drivers of the time, so it will be interesting to see if any new drivers / patches were released since october/november of last year that doubled the performance to what average you received in your tests. I only have an fx8350 which I would normally say is the culprit, however considering its vulkan it shouldn't be in this case.

Going for a card marked as not working or having problems can sometime net a bargain. I bought a GTX 780Ti that was listed as artificating and thus was being sold as spares or repair. I paid £32 for it including shipping. Opening the card up and I found that the thermal paste was only covering half the GPU Die, so a clean and a fresh application of thermal paste later and the card now runs as it should. Of course I ran the risk of paying £32 for something that just couldn't be repaired but at least I'd have some nice wall art to display.

This one KZfaqr's friend he had the 7990's successor the r9 295x2 and he had little to no games that took advantage of the card the only thing the card would be useful just like the 7990 and 690 now a days is for mining bitcoins. So he replaced it with a Vega 64. Man you got an awesome deal at under $80 bucks for a dual GPU card nice find. Yeah some graphics cards can become flakey if they do not have enough power. With my r9 290 that I got in 2014 when I built my i7 4790k build I used only 1 PCI-E power connector instead of two separate ones to connect the graphics card to the Power Supply and man that was a big mistake because I was getting black screen lockups and once I put another PCI-E power cable in the mix it fixed everything.
