While it's no secret that AMD doesn't officially have a dual-GPU card in its lineup, PowerColor has bucked the trend and blazed a new trail here with their own design for the 7990. This Limited Edition Devil 13 certainly looks monstrous, and it's got an accessory package second to none, but it also comes with a stratospheric price tag of about $1000 that will target all but the most diehard and well-heeled. Let's dive in and take a closer look at the PowerColor Devil 13 HD 7990 and see how it fares against Nvidia's dual GPU offering. Click through for more.

Ya, not too sure how Nvidia-fanboy Stan figures the GTX 690 is still king of the hill. The results show back and forth, pretty much a tie overall. Except when the AMD card won in a couple instances, it won by a HUGE margin and blew the GTX 690 right out of the water. The GTX 690's wins, however, were only by a small margin. Not quite sure how that characterizes the 690 as a winner, certainly not by framerates alone. 7990 had better temperatures and accessory package too. Not quite as good on power consumption and noise though.

The heatsink covers the crossfire connector, I suppose if you got an insanely long crossfire bridge you could do it.
