AMD might be discountinuing 7990

AMD might be discontinuing the beast card HD7990 because of low demand. A lot of people are holding up buying one because of the frame latency issues, Though the driver will come out soon, the card will most likely be pulled in September.

I think is that AMD shouldn't have put the card on the market without the driver out, but then again with the new gen 9xxx coming soon, they had to do something about it. It would be kinda silly to release a new gen flagship with the old gen at the same time.

Very much agree. The 7990 was a real waste. They released it too late and with issues. Maybe the R&D on it was finished earlier but they knew that the new driver was still months off. They decided to release the card in hope of at least get a return investment on it before the 9000 series... just speculation.

 

Real shame. If the card and the new driver had been released earlier it would have been an excellent piece of hardware.... except maybe for the coil whine issues. AMD has themselves to blame for not taking the frame latency issues seriously sooner.

 

Hopefully they'll make use of the cooler again on some future cards.

I think it was more of a late release and limited exposure kind thing, but still, there wasn't as much of a point to it because of it's price.

that means you'll get a huge DISCOUNT for that particular graphics card. :)
