Radeon Fury Specs Leaked, 3 Versions to be Released

[WYP]

Radeon Fury Specs have been leaked, showing that there are 3 versions of AMD's Fiji GPU core in the works.

Read more on the Radeon Fury X's Specifications here.

Well certainly looks interesting enough. Would have been nice if the reference cooler for the 290x was the triple one, though I guess the price didnt really allow it with the margins that set.

 

[Thelosouvlakia]

Tell us that you will have all three versions for review!

 

[Kushiro]

WYP does reviews now?

 

[MiNo]

Although I'm close to being a Nvidia fanboy, I *seriously* hope AMD will kick ass with this release.. We so much need to see some competition in the top-end again. And by competition, I mean something that can perform while not requiring a small nuclear powerplant to run nor earplugs.

 

[Kushiro]

Lol, small nuclear powerplant and earplugs?? Whatever.

 

[MrKambo]

so excited

Ill take the Higher TDP air cooled one

 

[Kushiro]

Arent you just going to chuck it under water anyways

Yes pretty much!

The retail on the AIO version will be higher, im assuming here its AIO and not just a EK/XSPC or even custom waterblock on it, but anyways seems pointless to pay for something you wont see the benefit of.

 

[Kushiro]

yeah, besides I highly doubt there will be many if any FC blocks from XSPC, EK etc etc for the AIO version.

I expect the PCB to be the same, from the spec just seems like Shader Count is down and clocks speeds vary

 

[Kushiro]

Well according to the renders it will be rather short for the AIO version, so not too sure about that. If it uses the same PCB that would be awesome though.

Doesn't make financial sense, its cheaper and easier to make a AIO fit, than it is redesign an entire PCB to allow for AIO.

But we shall see....

 

[Kushiro]

Thats what I was thinking too :lol: but those renders... ah well only time will tell.

Why would you need to redesign the PCB for an air cooler ?

The PCB can remain exactly the same even if the air cooler is much bigger.

Just look at some of those huge air coolers people use on their CPUs.

If they use a small PCB they better put a large backplate on it to cover it up.

Don't like having power connectors half way up the card. I'm hoping for a big PCB for tidiness sake.

 

[Kushiro]

Even if they put a backplate on it, it will look rather awkward, would much rather a longer PCB

No, thats not what im saying, what i was getting at is the PCB for 'Fury' will be the same, and that making a different PCB for 1 SKU doesnt make financial sense, when its cheaper in comparison to make the mounting for AIO cooler

Maybe i wasn't clear....

It would be nice if there were standard 1/4" threaded outlets to allow for integration into custom loops, but I guess that would probably call for an AIO unit with the pump integrated on the rad?

So much waste to not have an option for integration into a custom loop without having to completely shelf what is essentially an H75 from the look of the rad?

It seems like it would make sense to go the route of the Fractal AIO units, prefilled, presealed but open to customization.

 

[NeverBackDown]

Why would you get the Watercooling Version? It's probably the same price for the Aircooled and a Waterblock.. You're better off with that
