According to FudZilla, HD 6990’s successor, the Radeon HD 7990 (dual-GPU card) will be priced at USD $850. Remember, the Radeon HD 6990 has been launched at USD $700.
The launch price of HD 7990 is it related to the lack of competitor in the ultra-high-end segment?

Definitely!
Nothing surprising here. At launch, the GeForce 8800GTX Ultra was also $850, and that for a single CPU board.
Ridiculous prices.
I don’t know what AMD is smoking but I want some.
they need to bump up prices so they can recover devopment costs from the 3 people who will actually buy them!
Don’t forget that 6GB of GGDR5 will cost a fortune alone. So that’s still more than a fair price
