So...what is that on the top of the card? Is it some kind of slim AIO watercooler?

 

[alamox]

yea Johan Andersson is from Dice (frostbite engine), not paradox.

It's a watercooler.

It looks pretty awesome. AMD reference cards have been way too fugly in the past.

Having a watercooled 295x2 and seeing how awesomely efficient it is even on two really hot Hawaii chips makes it hard to go back to air-coolers. I've already given up on air for processors as well.

Can cross that "bad cooler on reference design" of the cons list I suppose .

 

[Yakk]

Looks pretty small & sweet!

Waiting...

Air coolers can work fine, its just company that makes has to give a Damn about it. Which AMD on 290x didn't give a damn and wanted to get product in market as fast as possible.

No DVI port, allowing the whole of the second slot to be used for cooling.

 

[TorxT3D]

fiji?

 

[Germanium]

Two please. Wait, have to wait for the reviews, first.

That card is like.... 4slots huge... wtf? And to think I thought my 970 was big.

 

[Squall_Rinoa89]

may its just how AMD uses to screw it to the system.. idk.. thats kinda odd e.e Looking at my 970 and those...still looks like that is huge.

[griff30]

Shut up And take my money

 

[Yakk]

Shut up And take my money

For real!

I wasn't planning on upgrading, and the current $ exchange rate is horrible for Canada, but DAMN it looks tempting...

It's about the same width as the MSI TF 7750 I have. 2 slots...
