Sorry to be rude, but this kind of seems like a waste, its an easy thing that can be solved yourself without taking our time away from more important stuff,

Well, your market is restricted to aftermarket since its been phased out quite some time.

 

So... ebay, amazon,cragslist whatever, is your only bet.

He's speaking of a 6990, not 7990.

They don't sell 6990's anymore

That card is old. Get something newer, and save us some time. I don't wanna sound like a dick, but it's the truth.

That's exactly why he was talking about Ebay, and if i'm not wrong there are un opened ones still floating around on Ebay/amazon whatever.

 

 

6990 have gone up alot once the coin mining started as they are 2 slot and are dual core card, and its pretty boss as well at mining.

But why buy a 2 generation old card? That's like buying a GTX 590

A single 290x/780ti would be close to the power of the 6990?... as its "almost" close to the 7990 in some games...

Maximums - Asus Z97-K /w i5 4690 Bclk @106.9Mhz * x39 = 4.17Ghz, 8GB of 2600Mhz DDR3,.. Gigabyte GTX970 G1-Gaming @ 1550Mhz

Because mining?, idk why OP wants it but they are still out there, and 590 / 690 is vastly more expensive.

 

i saw a 6990 being sold for 95 euro which is a bargain if you are into mining.

A gtx 690 would be a better buy

Where can I buy a amd 6990? Preferably anywhere but eBay . Thanks

For what ??

Because for gaming it would be a waste.

A GTX780 or R9-290 is faster.

Thank you, looking at the price, should i get a 7990 or this. im on a budget so...

you want eyefinity, in which case you need a good amount of VRAM. This card has 4GB, which is enough. But, this card is old and amd won't release drivers for it very frequently, or even at all. I would get a titan black and buy another later, but if you want AMD, then just get an aftermarket R9 290 (I suggest tri-x) and get another later. If you don't want to mess with the gpu and want it fast right when you buy it, get. 290X, otherwise get the 290 and overclock it

NO, dont buy old gen. You will get better performance from a 290X because of more frequent driver updates. Buy an aftermarket card, i would go with the msi lightning edition, it runs coolest and fastest. Not only that, but they 290X is like 100 dollars cheaper than the 6990.
