AMD HD7990 Malta Review

Allan 'Zardon' Campbell April 24, 2013 Featured Announcement, Graphics

Shogun 2 is set in 16th-century feudal Japan, in the aftermath of the Ōnin War. The country is fractured into rival clans led by local warlords, each fighting for control. The player takes on the role of one of these warlords, with the goal of dominating other factions and claiming his rule over Japan.

We measured performance over several of the more intensive levels with hundreds of units on screen. Our results would be firmly a ‘worst case scenario'.

    A lot of cash, but when factoring in the performance characteristics it seems good value compared to Nvidia parts.

    It just shows how far ahead the Titan is – its single GPU and not really that far behind the Malta card.

    Their partners ruined the launch by releasing a HD7990 many months ago. good improvement over their cards however but it seems so late to the game after Nvidia had the Titan out a while ago, and its single GPU.

    I dont buy any dual GPU cards as the driver profiles are so important to get the most from it. at least with the titan it will be 100% all the time.

    two titans in SLI would be much faster than this!

    @ Indloon – of course two titans would be faster, but they would also cost £1,700! you would need two of these malta cards at the same price for that price analogy to be effective.

    CF this and compare with the crash-happy-result-CF-unofficial-7990 test you reviewed before.

    I can’t help but not fall in love with this card every time I look at it, I see people talking about 2x titans in SLI are better, Obviously they would be better but the VRAM doesn’t stack that 12GB of power would = 6GB of effective Bandwidth on the cards sadly if you SLI….

    this 7990 has 6GB and is half the price… Also you know the 7970 has a better 3D graphics rating than the titan? oh you didn’t know that? did you know that 2x 7970 in CF has more Power than a 690? same thing Duel GPU (expensive one) vs 2x single GPU’s will Always lose.

    But its always in AMD’s favor since they don’t put 200-300% markups on all there cards thats why I buy AMD.
