7990?

[Curtis72]

wuuuuutttttt. but the 290x is likely much better than the 7990. the 290x is going to be $600 i doubt ull get a 7990 for a considerable lless amount to make it worth it.

also if the rumours are true. it will be beter than the titan which imo i would take over the 7990

Most benchmarks I see the 7990 is just as good or better then the titan and the 7990 is about 400-450$ cheaper. Also I dont think the 290x will be that much better. I think in the real world the 290x will be slower then what they let on. Thats my opinion though. Again why I am waiting for them to come out. I can get a 7990 right now for 589$ 569$ after rebate.

remember a 7990 uses quite a bit of Wattage so a PSU upgrade may also be a possibility

Yup. I have a 800 watt psu.

I say go for it then. but the 7970 isn't a bad option either.

Whats the rec PSU for a 7990? Ive seen 750 and Ive also seen 850.

[Hammerhead]

i'd go 850 just to give some surplus for upgrading and what not

Another question. My case a RV02 can fit a 304mm long gpu. The 7990 is 305mm. Soooo what do I do? There are fans on the bottom of the case which i can remove but would hate to do that because the cooling for the gpu would be worse. I mean its 1mm!! haha.

Actually went on to msi's website and it says 304mm. So am i good? im guessing so haha.
