Radeon HD 6990 Acoustics & Temperatures Linus Tech Tips

[canthaguild]

Shame really, Ive noticed ATI cards have a habit of being noisey with the stock cooler, There really good cards I just feel the coolers let them down as there generally not great at cooling and very noisey, thus why cards like Twin Frozr and Direct CU are good as they have decen't and fairly inaudiable coolers, I really wished that on the HD7--- series AMD sorted the noise and performance of the stock coolers, always the HD8--- series I suppose.

[AVIV222]

im waiting for the day saphire labs will make better card and this will be normal on every pc

[4BUR4M3]

-Honey, may I use that new blow-dryer you put in your PC?

-Sure baby, I was just about to play Crysis 2 on insanely ultra high graphics option

[Quaker763]

AMD 6990:The most expensive case fan ever (lol jks, AMD make good video cards)

[LordVoldermort876]

AMD makes passenger jets??? 0.o

[Al3xPlanet]

nice passive cooler, what make?

[TheDreae]

@Al3xPlanet It's not passive, it has one of those Noctua fans on the back

[Al3xPlanet]

@TheDreae soz, i get mixed between active and passive. I meant active!

[kevinjohnson256]

if anyone bought a 6990 card...and doesn't want it, i'm more than willing to buy it from you

:)

[Al3xPlanet]

@kevinjohnson256 YEAH WELL IM WILLING TO BUY IT FOR FREE!!! :D

[TheChincFromHongKong]

can you imagine 4 CrossFire 6990's @ 100% fan speed? l0l I would go deaff

[themanofram]

I love your case -_-

[gameboy699]

I see you plugged your motherboard to the graphics card....

[Viperzep]

@gameboy699 hahaha

[spidert622]

I'm purchasing this, but i am going to watercool

[DreamerforeverMetal]

and how long would it take before this card is outdated?

[BRANSCOMBEx]

@DreamerforeverMetal Atleast 3 or 4 years,, honestly. MOST gamers still have 512mb card and more serious haev 1gb

[Dante1505]

Never thought that ~67 decibels can be that loud! O_O

[Al3xPlanet]

@Dante1505 the first generation of nvidia 470+480 GTX were 79 Db. how loud is that!!!

[TeslaGraff]

u can say to me what the temperature the fan goes to max rpm?? 200000000000000000000000000000­0 C°????

SHEET, i cant I cant hear my gtx 550in max!

[fdwlr]

what software do yo use for testing temperatures?

[MYMAnarchy]

@fdwlr Furmark.

[k3yb0ardkilla]

can somebody please tell me if this noise (not fan noise) is normal on my 6990?

youtube.com/watch?v=IkDjqdSqV3­Q&feature=colike

[napoleon950]

how many decibels is it?

[napoleon950]

It's way too loud

[s1vus1]

Wouldn't have been so Funny if the cat attacked the graphics card. :)

[Warlondo]

Now I want this card!

[Sudano66]

How much difference would the upgrade from two radeon 5770's, to two of these be? Would it be worth spending the $730 x2?

[malinko35]

@Sudano66 6990 is basically 6970 x2 so yeah, way better than dual 5770s

[JakSlapGaming]

@LinusTechTips

hey when are the 7000 series cards coming out and the nvidia 600 series

[Captainchiggs]

im going to compare it agaynst....

[VeHea]

What ram r u using?

[schreech7202]

Heya guys im thinking of retirering my Club3d 5870

In the last couple of years ive been wanting to "build" my own pc and ive found some nice hardware. but atm i cant decide wether to buy either

2x 6970's running crossfire Or 1x 6990 (future crossfire would be nice, even though right now i cant afford it)

PLease respond :) i really need some help on this as the 2 setups cost close to the same and i really wanna get the most out of my money Thanks for reading <3

[morph2g]

Scared to put this in my case, it might fly away

[mondenet]

How old is your bengal?

[G3n3sisERA]

i bet the cat wanted to overclock:D

[dinamax85]

ASUS V198HT LED Monitor FTW :D

[rmtv19]

I don't know what to buy, the cat or 6990

[mondenet]

@rmtv19

the cat may be more expensive

[redmkiii]

I want to build a rig that supports six monitors (1920x1080) what kind of video card(s) would you recommended for this? I really dont do gaming, I trade currencies but like to do video and photo editing, thanks for the help

[OpenGLSecond]

@redmkiii for whatthe fuck u need six monitors? Oh, for pictures -.- no offense, but u suck....

[redmkiii]

@OpenGLSecond why do you care? idiot, mind your own business, nobody asked for your opinion. If you were to read my comment thoroughly you'd understand why.

[OpenGLSecond]

@redmkiii u askes for my help

[redmkiii]

@OpenGLSecond Umm, no. My question was directed toward LinusTechTips. Just stop trolling around the internet, thank you.

[infrosh]

you can use the cat for noise level testing and monitor its expressions :P

[Homerrock24]

BUT, WILL IT BLEND??

[bamfan2044]

6990 you are cleared for take off...

[sugelx]

So much epicness in this video omg... The cat. The 6990... Omg..

[PittmanLegacy]

What Kid of Mobo is that? and PSU?

[DeRockProductions]

@PittmanLegacy AsRock P67 Fatal1ty and a Cougar power supply.

[joekuta]

@kalin334 red sinks perp to the card

[GBH96]

That's... Well, that's a hell of a video card right there.

[Exgaves]

@kalin334 Right where it should be.

[jmans25]

wtf no chasses?!

[asdsa147]

is it gonna be loud if i play games for some hours ?

[Kaldyo]

stop talking fuckfcae

[rensoedbt328]

wow money

[VicViperXxXxX]

@AngryMonkeyTV Saphire..... haveing a sexy bitch on your card never hurts..... Also the Details pretty good

[TacoPenguin4347]

6990 vs. Cat

[Arolenco]

The Cat.... epic!

[Lukis300]

I will never buy the radeon 6990 just because i'm afraid that my computer case will fly away...

[SuperRiguy]

@Lukis300 LOL 

[mesothorium]

thank "god/some tec nerd" for watercooling !!! yay !

[313hummer]

and aerodynamic cat :D

[313hummer]

that is the only card i have seen thats bigger than the mobo its on

[turtlehater2]

AERODYNAMIC CAT!

[exibo1]

11.6 mouse lag is still there, clean the bottom right if you pay attention and the same in games

[Lermasd]

Does this card take 2 PCI slots? Because I was thinking about buying this card with Asrock P67 Pro 3 motherboard which only supports 1 graphic card.

[exibo1]

yeah bug in Drivers already in 5970 was now also in 6990

CatalystCreator say:

Looks like we found a solution to the mouse lag issue - need to verify but will try to get this out in a couple of weeks

[exibo1]

raden sux i got one driver bug:

i actually find difficulties to play games like "Heroes of Newerth," "Dota," and commanding game where u have to move ur mouse to scroll the edge

of cause, if i move my cursor to the top right of the screen, both outside and inside the game, it causes the really bad lagging .... and that's BAD fixer11.5a Catalys and still bug :( 650€ and got driver bug sad!!!

[MouthofSaurons]

@exibo1 or maybe it's a software bug..

[platinumguitar]

@exibo1 No actually what's sad is your spelling :)

[InvictvsNox]

A-gain-st.

[jucar2d2]

sli is for nvidia...

radeon uses crossfirex...

[xxnorxx24]

very nice man gj

[Thorndepth]

THE CAT!!!! MEOW.... the cat is going to ruin your GPU!

[kubifan]

is that the asrock p67 fatal1ty?

[angleisthebest]

Pfft what a piece of garbage. So not only does it overheat by itself over time, has fan noise that would drive a deaf person to the point of insanity but it will kill any hard drives you have anywhere near this thing in your case. $700? I wouldn't pay $400 for it.

[NobbyKNobbs]

lol @ your cat

[djb1a2k3]

hahahaha. the 6990 is so awesome that even youre cat cant stay away from it xDD

[JeppeTrabergS]

What do you mean when you say "load fan speed" ?

[deadfables]

@JeppeTrabergS

I think that means "under load" - so when it's in use.

[JeppeTrabergS]

@deadfables Sounds logic. Ty :)

[matiasmoriconi999]

@2:59 WTF?? XD

[rlinfinity]

That's a fREAKING jungle cat! A serval or someshit liek that

[zerosystem135]

@Keadin 590 might be better and performs well with low noise

[5867940]

he says against like a canadian

[Atheismrulez]

@ZaPeeXP

No. Core i7 2600K is 15% faster. Radeon HD 6870 is okay. Western Digital Caviar Black is overpriced and not that fast; get Samsung Spinpoint F3. Motherboard will depend on your needs, but the platform cost for LGA1155/Sandy Bridge is lower than X58. HAF X is okay, but the HAF 922 delivers much better bang-for-buck. Cooler Master makes crappy PSUs; get Corsair TX/AX series, XFX, Seasonic, Antec TruePower New or Xigmatek NRP-702.

[dushikorsou1]

but if you can buy such a graphic card wont you have water cooling?

[dantheman688]

agAINST...

canadian eh? :)

[ThePocketFactory]

It sounds like a waterfall when load.

It's hot and expensive.

Way too big.

Taking too much power.. hmm, nah i think i will go for the 6970

[Tenzack]

Pro:Wow performance and beat any games.

cons:heating and ventilation problem. electric Power (watts) adjustment lacking

[countbleck35]

agaynst lol

[drKlitzman]

2:40 At first I was like wtf are you doing with your and

2:42 I was like wtf happend to your hand

2:44 I was like its just cat

[YTmurphy]

2:55 Cat in the AMD wind tunnel for aerodynamic testing :D

[Windurster]

@YTmurphy lol

[WarHawk215]

IT is also damn sexy i got a pretty huge boner right now

[Soap442]

@foudubmx Yes? Wait for the 590 GTX

[inventorOz84]

water cool that!!! :)

[GF9400GT]

3:00 - 3:04 The cat: Hoooooly SHIT I have never seen such a small thing making sounds like a choppah !

[laizel05]

"Tom Dickson Said"

Will It Blend? That Is The Question?

[EradicationStation]

I love the way Linus says "against".

[Action2Viewer]

What kind of paper was that?

[lukyluke993]

what version of the furmark is that?

[carrerasubway]

The cat, lol ! it was like wtf !

[ewanen]

I hit the 'Like' button b'coz of adorable the cat

[searay230]

Linus did you flip the switch to 880 mhz? If so you only gain about 2-3% but, 19% more power consumption.

[kokfah]

my gtx580 top at only 86C with furmark

[draznik111]

i have a question. Is this your work to compare grapphics card and other computer components and stuff like that? And if it is can you please hire me. I woud love to do the same as you do.

[expressMASTER]

I like how the cat also looks up at the paper ^^ @ 3:03

[gruffski]

6990 fan @ 100% sound's like a vacuum.

[1914Sephiroth]

I know it's furmark but you should be getting better fps i would think.

[doubleatheman]

I cant wait to see some non refrence coolers. I think that some third party coolers on those cards could go a long long long way!

[killernanny4315]

wtf? my 5770 doesnt get past 65C at a 100% load. why is that so hot compared to mine?

[KokoaShuzen]

@killernanny4315 It's at least 4 times as fast and generates more heat? :P

[SokelaTI]

@killernanny4315 Two gpu's in one pcb.

[peanutsz321]

@killernanny4315 cuz its ass big as a house

[AZdarpiAZ]

Cat: OMFG WHAT A POWERFULL VIDEO CARD!

[orkie55]

LOL 100% = OMGWTFBBQ

[aayaz26]

you are using fatal1ty board but you did not unbox it... :(

[Flytrox]

What heatsink is that?

[AggamenoT]

hi Linus i have a question, if your board does not have nVidia SLI ready but does have ATI crossfire ready and can you still make it run 2-Way SLI with this board?

[darios9797]

you used the gtx 580 whit no airflow , because the other 580 was under it, so the fan wasnt useful.....

sorry for bad english i hope you understaind it xP

[TheIdiotNamedR0ppu]

Tell me.am getting a XFX 6870 card tell me is it good for a mid gamer. + The XFX has gamebundles. Is the" Do not distorbe im gaiming" some sordav serial for a game?

[oWntROFLnOob]

@TheIdiotNamedR0ppu i have that card its really good, u may wana get the sapphire version as saphire has a progam called saphire trixx which allows you to overclock with ease and unlock the voltage so you can give it more power (which means more stable at higher overclocks).

[nbaprophet100]

HI. I am a 5970 owner and I was wondering if you could compare the 6990 to the 5970 in some sort of a benchmark. Thank you

[wyzarme]

@nbaprophet100 Check Passmark, Furmark and Tom's hardware, those benchmarks are generally good and up-to-date.

[waki1996]

lol this is why i have a evga gtx 560 ti which is quieter under than these two cards in idle

[NerdMirage]

1. Buy manual focus camera

2. Manually focus

3. ?????

4. Profit!

[hickspixx]

@NerdMirage or .... just buy a decent auto focus camera!



[Hahnck750i]

@NerdMirage he is recording with dslr he can manial focus if he wants to. i guess he is just... lazy xD

[zilkoify]

@NerdMirage

3. Listen Super8 and DJ Tab - Helsinki Scorchin

[xxxdroidmonkeyxxx]

is there a water block for the 6990 yet bec. personally i would think that if a person is going to spend that much money on a card like that he mite as well water cool it that thing is way to load lol but insane!

[allzcheque]

what is that noice?!?#!@?#!?

[mgplaya450]

I got the HIS 6950 unlocked...good enuf for me. 700$ is like bending me over bra!

[red4our]

lol the cat's ears blew backwards :)

[allzcheque]

@red4our good catch --- it even looked at the paper as if he could understand the speaker :)

[badenielsen]

theres only 1 thing to do with this card, water water water^^

[GTAVince]

LOL 1 6990 is louder than 2 GTX 580's in sli :P

Maxishine is a rich man but linus is more lucky to have 5 of these 6990 bad boys :P

[MrGENOCIDEGeorge]

LINUS WE HAVE THE SAME USB STICK!

Any reason why mine doesn't even hit 10MB/s, let alone 25?
