AMD Unleashes the World’s Fastest Graphics Card

— AMD Radeon HD 7990, the world’s fastest graphics card, offered with largest-ever free game bundle, including new “Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon”

Sydney Australia, — April 26, 2013 — AMD today launched the AMD Radeon™ HD 7990, the world’s fastest graphics card[i], designed for gamers who want to take their PC gaming experience to the highest level. Based on award-winning AMD Graphics Core Next (GCN) architecture with AMD Eyefinity technology[ii], the AMD Radeon HD 7990 graphics card delivers unrivaled performance and world-class technology for playing the latest DirectX® 11 games in extreme resolutions and multi-monitor configurations.

“If you crave the ultimate in PC gaming, the clear and commanding choice is the Radeon HD 7990 graphics card. No other graphics card on the market measures up to the unparalleled gaming experience it delivers, and it comes with eight AAA game titles optimized for AMD Radeon award-winning GCN architecture,” said Matt Skynner, corporate vice president and general manager, Graphics Business Unit, AMD. “Once again, AMD shatters the industry benchmark for state-of-the-art graphics technology.”

AMD underscored its commitment to offering the best PC gaming experience by introducing the AMD Radeon HD 7990 graphics card with a refreshed “Never Settle: Reloaded” AAA game bundle. In addition to “Crysis® 3,” “Bioshock® Infinite,” “Tomb Raider™” and four other titles, AMD is including the highly anticipated “Far Cry® 3: Blood Dragon” by Ubisoft®. This new title will also be offered as a thank-you gift to all previous “Never Settle: Reloaded” customers and will be loaded automatically onto existing redemption codes.

“‘Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon’ is an all-out honest cyber shooter that doesn’t take itself too seriously. In a genre saturated with super-serious narrative and realistic settings we felt it was time to inject some good old fashioned robofun into it,” said Dean Evans, creative director, Ubisoft. “Ubisoft’s relationship with AMD’s Gaming Evolved program brings together today’s most sought-after titles in PC gaming with the most advanced graphics technology. With AMD Radeon technology, our top games – ‘Far Cry 3: Blood Dragon’ included – can be played with the quality and performance we intended.”

Continued AMD innovations in graphics technology enables gaming enthusiasts to play the latest and most popular PC games at maximum settings: for instance “Tomb Raider” with TressFX Hair enabled, or the demanding “Crysis 3” in 4K resolution. Impressively, the AMD Radeon HD 7990 GPU was the graphics card of choice to showcase the Electronic Arts public unveiling of “Battlefield 4,” to be released in the fall of 2013.
