Naughty

Sadly yes it is..

Here's an unmodified box.

If you are only buying a card to last 2 years then it doesn't make sense to buy a TitanX since the 12GB is overkill for any situation. 12GB may come into effect in 2-3 years time but we will have cards probably twice as powerful then.

I suspect we will be able to buy 2 Fury pro's for the same price as 1 TitanX, and the Fury Pro's in crossfire will be around 50%+ faster when overclocked.

Who cares about overkill? Because the majority of people buying new/flashy tech want it because it is new, overkill or not.

It's photoshopped

Indeed it is. I managed to track down the original.

This is a really smart cooler design. No wonder it runs so cool. Nice one AMD.

Yes but the fact that Nvidia have managed to have the same efficiency and as far back as 9 months ago withOUT HBM is pretty impressive.

They walk a different path, Nv cut the chips, and made them simplier to reach that, AMD gone with the more complicated chips, and given they knew HBM is coming they don't need to cut their chips to reach the same efficiency

Boomstick777 · 23 Jun 2015 at 12:52

^^ Yup Nvidia went with the cheaper option. Nvidia's CEO said HBM would be to expensive for this year, and will introduce it next year when it is cheaper.

Huang said that for now HBM is too expensive

in the next year or so we'll be able to take advantage of that technology.

It looks so steam-punkish, I love it!

Fury Nano has a 175 Watt TDP, thats 125 Watts less than the 290X and it will no doubt destroy it in performance, they have doubled performance per watt, thats not down to HBM alone.

yes, well done, but what happens when nvidia have a process improvement AND HBM and AMD have only the process improvement to rely on?

They introduce their new lineup then and the status quo remains.

Boom that top image almost looks like someones DIY project but I like it

£1000+ graphics card?

You don't think AMD will also have a process improvement?

Could you elaborate?

I think the design is genius.

The core and memory all water cooled. That metal plate / copper pipe cooling the rest of the card.

Really nice design, I bet temps are awesome.

...

Arctic Islands, which the name would suggest are intended to run a bit cooler than Volcanic Islands.

Also expected next year. Should be interesting.

Well ive got this coming tomorrow

Now just got to get a Fury X

Bit by bit more info and pics are starting to leak out. By this time tomorrow the only thing that will be leaking is my unborn children in my pants lol

You know why cause the Nvidia Pascal card come with 16Gb or ram!

If Nvidia had tried putting a card out this year with 4 times the ram of the furyx they would have wanted £1500 a card for it

I don't see the point your making?

The new architecture in Fury Nano form is uses well over 100 Watts less than the 290X while having way more Shaders, its probably a cut down Fiji with about 3500 Shaders, thats 700 More than the 290X.

Fiji is a hell of a lot more efficient at the architectural level, probably by about 35% bringing it in line with Maxwell.

pieman109 · 23 Jun 2015 at 13:07

I'm interested in the Nano meself, curious to see how it performs compared to the other high end jobbies. Should find out tomorrow.

Hoping it'll be quicker than a 980.
