Why not? It's not enough and certainly not even close to being overkill if you wish to keep at a constant 120+ FPS with settings cranked up at 1080p.

quite right, but no new card though because i'm just about to buy a much bigger tv... the 55'' Panasonic is way too small now, so it's either the new Sony 75'' LED or another 65'' Panasonic, because i'm getting an upgrade itch.:cool:

the Panny has a better image at night, but these latest LEDs are pretty good too, the 75'' LED is utterly massive at 9ft away but is a fantastic cinematic experience.
 
Confirmation of the card is great news.

With the higher bandwidth, 144 fps @ 1080p is as interesting a possibility as 60fps@4k.

Certainly in some games the bandwidth may give us a generational jump.

The valley benchmark will surely be interesting with this card.

Thought so, as i said it looked like a version someone made to try and give a side on view from the original render :)

Apparently the original article has been updated to show the fiji chip, albeit the bare edge of it. And another "teaser" pic at the bottom of the new card, though really it just shows an led and a piece of tubing.

As I was getting at from that article, look at the memory size comparison then not the B and the b. 1GB is tiny compared to a 4Gb chip (4Gb = 512MB). For a 8GB device you'd need 8 of the chips on the left and 16 of the ones on the right, I'm also not convinced that won't be a 2GB stack with AMD using four of them(in reality 2x 1GB stacks joined together). Size difference isn't quite as large as I was thinking currently but I think that is mostly down to 512MB chips being on a new process so denser than before by quite a margin. I'm not sure what process HBM is on though I believe it's still on a relatively high process compared to the latest and greatest memory chips.

You can see on the image the interposer between the package(green) and the HBM chip you can see on top of it.

I would really like to hear people's thoughts as it seems to have been proven 100% fake now and can be listed as busted in the rumour mill thread.

AMD would have known how long the card was going to be from very early on surely, not sure if it predates the HBM revelations but I'm surprised nobody ever pieced it together.

Not sure that picture is fake, or why it would matter. Why wouldn't that work as a heatsink shroud for a normal heatsink. The pcb being small and the end being the fan extending beyond the length of the now small pcb.

There was no reason to believe it was a final product to begin with and no reason to believe it was fake. Design processes are often iterative(though more and more iterations are done virtually rather than for real these days though with 3d printing making a mock up has become easier. Ultimately it could be a prototype or the final design for the aircooling version of the card. Could be the shroud for the cooler on a card other than the 390x, ie the 290x replacement.

Who cares :p
 
I must say that it is just wonderful to get some proper news. This is very exciting indeed, so given this new info, what price points are we all guessing? £600 for the WCE?more, less?

And how exciting that it's not hybrid cooled so could be very quiet with the right fans on the rad.

Most basic cases, but if you were dishing out for two of these cards you would likely have a case with two rad mounts. Similarly, most people dont have a PSU that will run two of these cards but i suspect anyone planning to buy two would either have one or be willing to buy one.

example haf-x which isn't a basic case but only as 1 space for fan/radiator on the beck. it as space on the top but theres no way the pipes would reach
