I don`t think so because it`s saying 

# of cards 2

look at the graphics score, 30k vs 17k - in favour of the 7990.

 

the cpu's are different, resulting in different scores. the 7990 is using sandy bridge-E 3930k, while the 7970 is using ivy bridge 3770k

The cpus are different right. But I expect the 7990 to score more then the 7970? the cpu of the 7990 is better then the 7970.
