Over time we find the need to update and renew benchmarks. In my initial review of the AMD Radeon HD 6800 and 6900 Series, we only had time to test the games that were already in our test stable from the Radeon HD 5000 series reviews and benchmarking. Unfortunately, many of these games were older, and ended up being CPU board and/or not fully showcasing the DX11 improvements in the Radeon HD 6900 series.
Dungeons is a strategy/simulation video game developed by Realmforge Studios and published by Kalypso Media. Dungeons differs from Dungeon Keeper in that the purpose is to care for heroes and not monsters. In order to gain the Soul Energy needed to purchase high-end equipment for the dungeon, heroes need to be killed only after they are fully satisfied. Heroes are pleased if they, for example, find treasure or fight challenging, but not overpowering opponents.

Engadget posted an article with the first sighting of the Radeon HD 6990. The info and images come courtesy of 4Gamer.net. The card does appear to support 5x1 output with four Mini-DP and one DL-DVI.
