PRESS RELEASE

Ultra-smooth gaming with 6GB GDDR5 and exclusive GPU Tweak through a single PCI Express 3.0 interface

London, England (24 April, 2013) - ASUS today announced the Radeon^TM HD 7990 graphics card, a dual-GPU offering derived from 28nm AMD Radeon^TM graphics processors. With twin GPUs based on AMD Graphics Core Next technology and 6GB GDDR5 video memory, the ASUS Radeon^TM HD 7990 easily handles the most demanding DirectX® 11.1 PC games in ultra settings and resolutions above 1920 x 1080.

It is also ready for ultra HD 4K video, delivering the finest graphics performance and the convenience of a standard 2-slot height. With two GPUs factory-paired on the board, customers only require one free PCI Express 3.0 slot without needing to use AMD CrossFireX^TM multi-GPU bridging.
