This graphics card is equipped with two AMD Radeon HD6900-series graphics processors and is the world's first desktop card with 4GB GDDR5 memory.

This places the R6990-4PD4GD5 as the highest performance graphics card in existence today!  The R6990-4PD4GD5 supports up to 5 display outputs from a single graphics card thank to AMD's exclusive Eyefinity multi-display technology. In addition, R6990-4PD4GD5 also supports the legendary graphics card overclocking utility - MSI's Afterburner. Enthusiasts can adjust GPU and memory clock speeds, and monitor information like voltage, temperature and usage of memory. Power users can also measure the stability of overclocked graphic card with the MSI graphics card testing utility Kombustor V2.0. The MSI R6990-4PD4GD5 supports the latest DirectX11 and OpenGL 4.1 graphical standards, features found on the most demanding performance applications and games.

Number One Performance

An advanced 40nm graphics architecture design on the dual-GPU R6990-4PD4GD5 allows superior visual computing power with improved process efficiency, maximizing performance when compared to a single core graphics card.  The revolutionary 4GB GDDR5 memory on the MSI R6990-4PD4GD5 not only raises the smoothness of high resolution gaming, but also the efficiency of multi-display image processing. The MSI R6990-4PD4GD5 has powerful specifications that exceed the demand of gamers and power users have, achieving No. 1 performance on the planet
