The radiator isn't mounted on the end of the card :eek:, it has to be as per the 295x2,

Why does it have to be ?

That is my suggestion, I'm not suggesting that is the way it is mounted, I was just giving an alternative.


And to anyone commenting on how bad an idea this is, just think about it, all the benefits of an AIO system without the need to find space for a radiator.
Unless you have the fan on the radiator mounted on the back of the case as an intake fan, it is still drawing the warm air from inside the case to the out side. My idea to put the radiator and fan on the end of the card wouldn't be that much different than any of currant custom cooled cards, but probably with better results.
 
though im all 100% for a AIO solution to heat and noise for folk like me who cant afford a full WC loop.
And I hope they do make a reference air cooled for people who can afford a full loop also.

But I hope the friggin radiator pipes don't stick out the sides like the 295x2, I mean on such a short card, surely they gonna stick out of its arse end towards the front of the case surely? otherwise they gotta have hell of a long hoses to reach the front of 750D or 900D cases if the cards almost half length of a 295x2
:p

I would always use a AIO as a intake, over the years i've been bored and tryed my h50 many ways and intake has always been a good few degrees cooler, Plus you can double up on fans when case mounted, i doubt there would be room for push pull when mounted to the end?

Faster! Faster! Faster! Faster! Faster!


:D
 
I suppose the watercooled card is smaller and has no fan due to having the memory around the core. Basically the cores and mem are both covered by the AIOs block IMO giving similar results to a "normal" GDDR5 28nm GPU that has core and VRM cooling.

A couple of thoughts I've had, which may be a bit bonkers but hey ho.

It show the new card, which is fine, but if the new card has one giant heat spreader (water cooled) under the shroud and no fan, then why have the vents, they could have had more output options.

Ok seeing as the card look like it is going to be small, people don't like the idea of having to find places to put the radiator. then why not mount them like this.

It would only make the card as long as the cards we are used to and think of the possibilities of crossfire with a fan between each card in a long push-pull-push-pull-push-pull type arrangement. :D

Actually thats a good idea IF you moved the AIO to the other end. So you installed the AIO sticking out the back of the case. AIO would draw air from the outside and expel outside. The liquid would be moved from within the case to the cooler ouside the case then back in to the GPU. Thermally that would be the best option from not having to use warm air within the case in exhaust format or expelling warm into the case with intake format. I'd like that.
 
On the whole DVI subject, I'd think its for the best to fade it out. Most people now have monitors that use HDMI/DisplayPort nowadays anyway. My current monitor, I bought thinking it was the model without DVI (and a 2nd HDMI instead), but I'd accidentally bought the variant with one of every type of input. If the problem arises that someone has a DVI monitor but not DVI port on the card, one can just get a HDMI-DVI adaptor. I've got one, it's pretty cheap. Otherwise, its time to upgrade the monitor. If people want these 3xx series cards, might I suggest the Asus MG279Q with FreeSync? Released today and comes with cables (thank goodness!). Plus... 2x HDMI!

Even if AMD can make a very small card for the 390X I think this would be a mistake. I think AMD should ensure the reference 390X is about the same size as the reference GTX 980, anything smaller and some people would feel the card looks cheap and lacks value.

I think anyone who isn't interested in the 390x for that reason will be outweighed by those with small form factor cases looking for a powerful gpu.
 
Couldn't care less how big it is as long as it's more powerful. Anyone who tells themselves they have a better card because it's bigger are overcompensating for something ;)

That's how it goes with us unfortunate Titan owners we will always have an inch less than the AMD guys.:D
 
i can't see the 390x being on pair with a 295x2 because that would make it 80-90% faster than a 290x.

also going by the specs the 390x as 4096 Stream Processors and the 295x2 as 5632 Stream Processors (2816 x2), and the 290x as 2816 Stream Processors.

i know theres more to it

but just going by that the 295x2 should outperform the 390x but the 390x should be about 40-50% faster than a 290x

I think at 4k resolution it could realistically be on par with a 295x2, at 1080p probably not.

The Titan X is nearly 100% faster than a Titan so why not? Then there's HBM.
