[VRZ] 12GB 7990 may launch second half of July - Page 16

post #151 of 175

12GB 7990... awesome for eyefinity. 

 

Only buy this card if you plan to run multi / high res monitors... like 2k/4k. If you get this for 1080p... it's like integrating a Formula One's engine into a Honda Civic...

You've obviously not looked much into the aftermarket tuner car scene. biggrin.gif

But yeah, 12GB of memory is totally insane and pretty much a waste for 99.99% of the people out there.

Not sure why they'd sell it that high, they would absolutely destroy the 690 if they sold it around $800-900.

This particular card wouldn't be competing directly with the 690. The 690 is 2, 2GB cards. This is 2, 6GB cards. I doubt very much they would sell it for anything less than $999.

I'm thinking more $1099, $1199...

This is where I think the 7990 would be around $850. If the regular cards are ~$450, and you figure the 7990 will have 2x non-ghz performing chips, I would think somewhere around $850 give or take.

EDIT: Also, I would hope this pushes the 690 down some to closer to $900.

What I'm wondering is why can't a computer use the other "6"GBs? Is there some kind of limitation that doesnt allow it to use another cards VRAM?
post #158 of 175
no more ram?12 gb vram 0 ram?

and huh what do you know all the sudden my framerates shot through the roof in eyefinty why because the games were usign up all 1gb of vram
gta4? vram cripples me batman ac ? vram. metro 2033? vram and clockspeeds ...i feel that if a 6gb card was released it would def be music to the ears of eyfinity users
so its a lil overkill? psshaw this is ocn
no to mention those with eyfinty 6 will almost have to have this much memory
call sign vega is proof that vram matters a alot
seriously just pm and ask him
!

Yeah 1 Gb is quite a bottleneck with eyefinity, however, for 6 Gb to make sense you would need to be running approx ~36 megapixels (at 0xAA and good quality without insane afterprocessing levels) i.e., 5x or 6x 1600/1440p Eyefinity and for that the card would need 5x or 6x displayports (preferably) or at the very least ability to drive 5x 1600p somehow.

The 3 Gb is sort of the sweet spot atm which is sort of exactly enough for 3x 1600p (or 6x 1080p) with about 30% to spare as predefined settings like to apply relatively high AA levels in games. Its unfortunate though that so limited number of cards in 79xx series is capable of driving 5+ screens in eyefinity and only one of them can do 5x 1600p (unless you overclock the DVI, which I have seen claims that can be done but have no personal experience with)

6GB is still REALLY pushing it. I've yet to see a review where 4GB isn't enough for Eyefinity.... 6GB is overkill. Until you show me otherwise I stand by my thoughts.
