There are several ways to reconcile why PowerColor named its dual Radeon HD 7970 monstrosity the Devil 13. On the one hand, the card probably got its name from the fact that it’s an unholy abomination of GPU horsepower, combining two...

We know what you're asking yourself right now, “Did I miss the HD7990 launch somehow?” The answer to that would be no, as AMD has not launched a reference design for the HD7990, nor in fact even announced the existence of a HD7990 model card. It appears...

Insane performance that comes with a similar price tag for those who want, and can afford, the best. Discuss in the...

To say the PowerColor Devil13 is a pleasant surprise is an enormous understatement.So often the 'two GPUs on a single PCB' cards are great performers, albeit problematic in areas. The GTX690 SLI took us ages to get working properly, the GTX590 is...

Power Color HD 7990 Devil 13 is the first card to combine two Tahiti XT graphics processors onto a single PCB. We must say we expected AMD to come up with the card first, but it wasn't the case and many partners are already preparing to launch their own...

So our man at AMD dropped by the office with something quite remarkable, the other day. He strolled in, looking more than a little smug, kind of like you'd imagine the guy whose job it is to let people know they've won the lottery. And he had a giant...
