HD 6990 benchmark with i7-2600K 1080p, 1440p, Ultrawide, 4K benchmarks at Ultra Quality
For the most part, the HD 6990 is still capable of playing modern games, but you would have to reduce settings to sustain those higher framerates. If keeping graphics quality settings closer to ultra or high is important, there are a few options for upgrades. It is worth noting that the HD 6990 is a very power hungry card and requires a decent power supply unit. With current 2048 MB RAM, the HD 6990 can have serious memory-related bottlenecks in more modern games. This combination between HD 6990 and Intel Core i7-2600K @ 3.40GHz has less than 8% bottleneck in many games and is perfect match to avoid FPS loss. Deciding whether to invest so much money in a high-end GPU like HD 6990 requires careful thought. This combination between HD 6990 and Intel Core i7-2600K @ 3.40GHz is a perfect match to avoid FPS loss. With current 2048 MB RAM, the HD 6990 can have very few memory-related bottlenecks in more modern games.

Compared to its NVIDIA 's closest rival, GTX 590, the HD 6990 was -6.8 % slower. For 1080p Full HD, we were able to play Valorant at 84 fps to 84 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 84 fps.
For 1440p Quad HD, we were able to play Valorant at 69 fps to 69 fps and kept frame rates hovering around 69 fps.
The HD 6990 sits between the R9 280X and the GTX 770, falling slower than R9 280X by 2.6% and faster than GTX 770 by 2.1%. It has an average relative performance against every graphics card here. Its results are actually indistinguishable from those of the R9 280X.
