Re: AMD Fiji XT Reference PCB as Short as GTX 970 Reference, R9 295X2 Performance

R9-295X performance! That mean NVIDIA need new chip or lose battle. Improving boost on GTX980Ti can reach that. Or AMD reference cards will be same powerful as NVIDIA overclocked models. What will be when ASUS launch Matrix and MSI Lightening vs TITAN X if reference card perform as R9-295X. I think that's 7-10% stronger than TITAN X. I always had luck with overclocking Radeons, special, series 4000 and 5000... Off course only good combination is Intel i7 + Radeon.

Maybe is this part of R9-390X...   Why NVIDIA didn't launch crippled GM200 as GTX980Ti with less CUDA than TITAN X just before AMD launch single card with 8GB with same performance as R9-295X. That would be party. Exactly like NVIDIA want and wait some Radeon fail to cut few CUDA with satisfaction with some inferior GM200 version.

This is best designed reference card ever, not only AMD, real association with word card, not some robots... I see we will soon buy TITAN X SLI for 1000e ... Chaos will start with small rigs to build CF...  These are possible specification, power consumption and price... As I told AMD can't ask more than 650$ or 650e for most expensive card even if she is 10% stronger than TITAN X. They say 599$ possible launched price. If AMD offer R9-295X performance for 599$ that will influence on NVIDIA price and offer huge. 300W is lot, But If someone ask what you want 250W and 20.000 score or 300W and 23.000 score I will say 300W and bigger score. Huge power consumption is stupid only in situation when weaker hardware need more power.

Don't get too excited, TechPowerups says that picture: ...is a mock-up of the card by ChipHell. It's not a picture. The radiator is off-proportions, the Radeon logo is misaligned, and the PCIe I/O is misaligned, etc.

I believe that card look better on pictures than in real life.
But they not support PhysX and I like my card to support PhysX.

Once again here is lehpron with a voice of reason. Aside from the humorous irony of telling Vlada011 not to get too excited over an AMD rendition, that first slanted hint teaser above from wccftech is the real card, Chiphell just decided to guess the rest. It probably isn't far from the truth; but the only thing I wonder is if the card is short enough so the radiator can be attached to the card, along the back edge as if to blend right in as part of the heatsink shroud. That way, it would be aesthetically synchronous with the rest of a regular classic ATX form factor.

Lots of conflicting rumors about this card. Hopefully it'll come with 8gb variant out of the gate.
