The wait is on for the next dual-GPU Radeon card


Those looking for the next dual-GPU video card from AMD will have to wait for awhile. It seems the card has been pushed back to 2011. For now we do have the new Nvidia GTX 580 to tide us over until the red team shows up.

"Even more recently, however, the Sunnyvale, California-based company, while it did not make a big showing of it, revealed that a certain other video board has been delayed to Q1, 2011.

The video card in question is the Radeon HD 6990 and is a dual-GPU card using a pair of Cayman chips.

Initially, its developer's plan was to get it done in time for December, so that it may be available for the Holiday shopping season.

Unfortunately for the company, this means that NVIDIA will more or less dominate the high-end video market, especially if the supposed delay of the HD 6970 proves to be true.

As it stands, it appears that the HD 6990 will come out around the same time as AMD's lower-end board, those based on the Caicos and Turks graphics processing units."
