It's an "official" AMD 7990. The others on the market are unofficial and made by their respective companies (Asus, Powercooler).

Eh, it doesn't use that much power. A 750 would cover it.

Also, the old ones run at 900 and 925 mhz. The AMD reference one will run at 1025.
2 8pin power connectors instead of three, takes up two 'spaces' (forgot the term >.<) instead of three in the case. Supposed to cool better with that new 3-fan cooler. I wrote it here, but wrong section + second one created after mine in right section so I had it locked.

it will run hotter compared to my titan for sure
also it would kinda suck for overclockers if they are limited at 80-90 degrees max temps like the club3d one is/was?
the worst part is likely the drivers , like with the ARES 2 card that simply performed horribly in certain games because of custom drivers that scaled really bad in quite some scenarios.
ps : red it's called a 2 slot card
