It does not take much working out what the 790 will be
Two full fat GK110 chips
3gb of VRAM per GPU
Same cooler as the Titan Z
Same PCB as the Titan Z
Clocks to be confirmed.

Doesn't really matter what its flaws are when compared to a TitanZ... the price difference alone is what makes this card.

Who was comparing it to the Titan Z, if anything that card is an even bigger joke with 2 GK110 chips totally air cooled, again only 2 x 8 pin connectors and then there is the price.
I happen to think that both of these cards are badly thought out.
Both AMD and NVidia should have both bit the bullet and went for a full cover waterblock, 3 x 8 pin power connectors and a decent overclock.
If you are going to build a uber card, make it a beast.
Taking the 290x vs Titan comparison to the next level huh. It's very likely that a 790 will release and then the price difference will be far smaller.

Which slot is 75w? I was under the impression the PCI-E was only 25w max.

NVidia could easily do it for £800 or putting it another way the same price as the GTX 690 was sold for using the specs I listed above.

The slot is 75 watts and I suspect with a mobo like the RIVE BE which has an extra power connector for the PCI-E slots that you could get even more.

Its quite a thick rad though, similar to the H80i. In push pull I bet its got enough cooling to keep this at AMDs acceptable levels.
As my self and others have found out with the Kraken G10, its surprising how well a cheap AIO can cool the GPU better than even the good air cooled cards - They are so limited in heatsink space in air cooling on graphics cards compared to CPUS. As long as you properly cool the vram and VRMs also.
With equal cooling it certainly seems like high end GPUs dont run as hot as high end CPUs.

Some nude pr0n pics, dat ass :eek2:
I don't know man, but that doesn't look like a very thick rad to me. Probably 25mm, I'd say.
AMD's PR team. They just can't stop looking ridiculous.

No crossfire finger? I wonder if this will finally be the iteration where AMD eliminates the need for the bridge and just communicate via bus?
The 290x doesn't have a crossfire finger either iirc.
Then again putting this thing in crossfire is probably going to get quite weird because of the radiators.

Yup you're right. The connection is made through the PCI bus.

Really? It looks thicker to me. Ive got a H55 on my GPU and looks thicker than that.
I had to look at a picture of an H80 for comparison as well, but it does look like the rads are the same size.
