TUL Corporation has announced the PowerColor Devil 13 Dual Core R9 390 16GB graphics card. This product fuses two Radeon R9 390 GPUs, 16GB of GDDR5 RAM and a 512-bit X2 memory interface into a triple slot graphics card. The core clock speed on offer is 1000MHz and the memory speed is 1350MHz (5.4Gbps).

With a pair of Grenada GPUs under the hood PowerColor has designed the Devil 13 Dual Core R9 390 carefully, with an eye on cooling. The components are actively cooled by 3 double blade fans attached to the top of the "enormous surface of aluminium fins" and heatsink connected via 10 heat pipes and 2 large die-cast panels. PowerColor claims this arrangement provides "a perfect balance between thermal solution and noise reduction".

 

PowerColor's Devil 13 Dual Core R9 390 16GB is fitted with four 8 pin PCI-E power connectors to provide the juice necessary. It makes use of the PowerColor 'Platinum Power Kit' with 15-phase power delivery, PowerIRstage, Super Cap and Ferrite Core Choke for stability and reliability. To use an itsy bitsy bit more leccy, the card features a pulsating red LED Devil 13 logo.

Ports for DL DVI-D/ DL DVI-D/ HDMI/ DisplayPort equipped monitors are present, outputting a maximum of 4096x2160 pixels. This triple slot card measures 304.8mm x 136.2mm x 59mm and requires a minimum 1000W power supply.

Inside the retail box, as shown above, buyers will find a free Razer Ouroboros gaming mouse. In an email to HEXUS, TUL said that the PowerColor Devil 13 Dual Core R9 390 16GB graphics card will hit retail on 17th September, coming with an RRP of €699.

After that nice article about reducing power consumption in gaming pc's…
Who is this designed for ?!

2 of those GPUs is barely faster than a single 980Ti. Meh I guess it's for people who specifically need the VRAM for something.

I'd say that it might be good for computing, since Maxwell is only good for gaming, while GCN can provide some serious computing power. But in that case I'm sure you could find something better, than a dual-GPU card - for example two single GPUs (a cheaper, faster and cooler option). Or maybe just a pro-grade card instead of a gaming one, depending on one's needs.
This by far is the most power hungry card available since the ASUS GTX 580 SLI MARS II.
And it's not the 390X version of the GPU, but just the 390.
No way I could spend this kind of money of a graphics card, but for £500 the performance on offer is not bad at all.
