Has to be remembered the chiphell pic appears to be a mock up side view based on the render with the odd angle that appeared last night. Doesn't necessarily mean its legit
that's true, but it's about the right length !!!

Always wanted to post this

No of course it won't be. However, even if it's £700 or more and is 20% faster than a Titan X it will sell, simply because it's 20% faster than a Titan X.
If, and it's a big if, it is 20% faster then it will be the first true single GPU card that can handle 4k. The TX has trouble keeping 30 FPS with Crysis 3, so basically it's not playable at high settings at that resolution. If the 390x is 20% faster then there's an awfully big chance it will and thus will be the first true single GPU 4k card.
And that's chuffing amazing.

Well this news is totally scuppering my new gaming build that I'm planning in a few months. Was all set on going TX or 980Ti.
I'm currently tied into nvidia/ gsync with the rog swift but this could all be turned on its head if this 390x ends up being as good as it might be, and is well priced. Hmmm.

What's 1.25 x 4?

Yes.
Better off comparing bandwidth than speed.

Still seems odd to me the length of these cards, we've had so many years of cards being 9-12 inches on the mid to high end that anything smaller just looks like something you'd put in a htpc or anything not for gaming.
GTX 670 and 970 were both this long. They just either had a custom PCB to make it bigger or they had a big plastic chunk on the end to make them longer so that the Epeen was longer. However, both the 670 and 970 were cheap ass cards made to look expensive.
If the AMD does not need the PCB then being small will be awesome, especially if you have a 120mm radiator to contend with. Why waste money on material if it's going to be the fastest GPU ever? You want to coin in
I'm sure there will be aftermarket coolers any way, so worrying about the cooler is pointless
Bring on the 390x Lightning
If it's as good as it's being hyped up to be (I don't think it will, but lets hope it is) then we will finally see some proper leaps over the next couple of years.
As for taking market share back with a single release, come on. It doesn't work that way, people who swap cards every 6 months/year is in the minority - This is just a step in the right direction and I truly hope they don't screw it up

When you are a company who specialises in selling graphics cards and you don't have any worth people buying you're in trouble. As I said, look what Nvidia stooped to with Fermi. They lost two or three main board partners by going it alone.
With HBM AMD have a tech far more modern than Nvidia's. And that could be very, very telling.
If the 380x is the 290x but cheaper than would sew up the lower end of the market. Let's face it, with current pricing only a die hard would buy the 970 or 980.
In fact from day one the 980 has been a die hard card, because it's never been worth anywhere near what Nvidia want for it.

You only live once dude, stop being a tight-wad!!
Now the Titan-X, *there's* a worthy card for criticism.....

I have three Titan Blacks dude. Two were £695 a go and the last one £390. I'm not opposed to spending money but the product must at least be somewhat worth it. The 980 would be a downgrade for me, considering it's at best 10% faster but has 33% less VRAM and thus would crap itself at 4k. The memory bus is poo too.
Now hopefully the 390x can finally put a stop to Nvidia pretending that their crap products are really high end ones that command £550.
Nvidia need to be brought down a peg or two, so I'm absolutely hands joined praying my fat ass off that this is true. I'm sick of paying inflated prices for balls technology.
