AMD is prepared to continue its rivalry with the GeForce GTX 550 Ti, as they have decided to launch a new video card on 5 April, named Radeon HD 6790. This, despite the fact that its launched in the HD 6700 series and is not made ??around the GPU Juniper.

And when we were thinking that AMD could not hurt even more current nomenclature, we proved the opposite. How easy could it be called HD 6830 card for example., but let's go over its specs, as AMD has gone over a competent marketing department. The Radeon HD 6790 is expected to encompass 800 stream processors, 32 ROP's and 40 texture units. And the frequencies should be 840 MHz for GPU and 4200 MHz for GDDR5 memory at 256-bit.

We expect that this video card will cost $130 � 140, and slightly faster than its direct competitor from NVIDIA.
