New monster boasts a huge number of video memory – 4 GB GDDR5 (@ 5000 MHz) and equipped with two 40-nm GPU Cayman, operates at a clock frequency of 830 MHz (able to accelerate to 880 MHz).

Cumulative number of transistors is 5280000000. In the video card can be found 3,072 stream processors, 64 raster operation units (ROP), texture units 192 and 256 blocks of Z-Stencil.

As is known, for better performance to pay. And this case – is no exception. According to information available graphics power in the peak is already 375 watts, 350 watts a device consumes in a normal mode, whereas during the idle power consumption is reduced to 37 watts.

I wonder how long the new AMD Radeon HD 6990 will retain the title of the fastest graphics card, especially given the impending release of NVIDIA GTX 590?
