A month ago it was brought to light that AMD is working on a dual GPU graphics card based on the “Hawaii” architecture. The proof of this was found in a driver’s package, and while AMD might never actually get the card to the market, they are internally testing such a beast. To counter this NVIDIA is working on a dual GPU graphics card of their own; the GeForce GTX 790.

If the rumors are true the GTX 790 is going to be an interesting graphics card. According to Mydrivers.com, the dual GPU behemoth will come equipped with a duo of GK110 graphics processors that have 2496 streaming processors each. Up to this point we haven’t seen a GK110 graphics card using 2496 streaming processors, as the GTX 780 has 2304 SPs and the Titan has 2688. With 2496 streaming processors, each GPU will have performance that falls been the Titan and the GTX 780. Double that up and you are talking unreal gaming performance.

The memory interface is also been tweaked compared to other GK110 graphics cards. According to the site the memory interface will run on a dual 320-bit memory bus and each GPU will have 5GB of memory, giving the card a total 10GB frame buffer. 10GB of GDDR5 memory will give this card substantial memory bandwidth, making it a great choice for 4K gaming.

If indeed this beast makes it to the market, look for a February launch. Oh, and for the pricing we can only speculate the MSRP over the $1000 mark.

Yeah except... air cooling can't be an option. Any air cooler than can bring such a beast to actually out perform the single gpu it is based off of will exceed safe sound levels and still run too hot amiright?

Did they really have to sell this rumor by photoshopping GK110 dies on the 690 picture? :p

They could put the ASUS Poseidon cooler on it. Air/water hybrid.

Click to expand...

I doubt they will actually use an ASUS cooler as a reference part. Thats not the point. They pretty much have to water cool something like this or continue the trend of underclocking the shit out their dual GPU cards.
 
maybe theyll use something other than a fan to aircool it... don't be so stuck in your boundaries. Will be fun to see how it works though, might need a cooling unit separate from the computer to not mess it up with the magnetic fields.... damn i need to make business.
 
I just hope that they do not do what AMD did with the stock coolers of the R9 series (290X, ect.) Horrible cooler.
