AMD Radeon HD 6990 Review
We've got a whopper of a Radeon on the line today with the AMD HD 6990, featuring dual Cayman XT based GPUs clocked at 830MHz, 4GB of memory, 5-way Eyefinity support right out of the box, and the audaciously named "AUSUM" (Antilles Unlocking switch for Uber Mode) BIOS switch you can flip right on the card itself to unleash the "Uber Mode", bringing the GPU speeds right up to 880MHz each. That's before doing any overclocking of our own! It's a monster right down to its power consumption of a maximum 450W, so good thing it's got brand new PowerTune on-board power regulation.

The HD 6990 promises to be 67% better in game performance than the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 580, supposedly its closest competitor. Hit our HD 6990 launch review to see if it can stand on a class of its own!
