AMD Radeon HD 7970 X2 suspected to be in the works

Although AMD has plans to unveil its dual-GPU Radeon HD 7990 some time during Computex 2012, next month, it is reported that its add-in board (AIB) partners will be rolling out custom-design dual-GPU graphics cards labelled “Radeon HD 7970 X2.”

These cards most likely feature a pair of 28 nm “Tahiti” GPUs with high GPU clock speeds (perhaps above those of the HD 7990, perhaps even over 1 GHz). The new cards could then target the performance levels of NVIDIA’s GeForce GTX 690 at competitive prices.

It could also be AMD’s strategy to give the onus to AIB partners to come up with “off-spec” dual-GPU cards to compete with GTX 690 in terms of performance, while maintaining an “on-spec” Radeon HD 7990 that seeks a higher price-performance ratio than that of the GTX 690.
