AMD has a put out a teaser video for its upcoming flagship
Radeon R9 390X graphics card powered by the Fiji GPU. The ‘It’s Coming...’
teaser hints that we are just a matter of days away from concrete info on what
could well be a GeForce GTX Titan X-beater.
The video is joined by a brand new screenshot of the
graphics card, giving us what is our best look yet at Fiji graphics card in its
entirety. When images of this card first leaked out we presumed it would be the
Radeon R9 390X, but it’s also looking increasingly likely AMD is planning on
launching a new premium-tier brand, much like Nvidia’s Titan series.
As you can see from the image below, the Radeon Fiji ‘390X’
is indeed a relatively small graphics card, powered by a pair of 8-pin power
connectors. The shrink is no doubt down to the use of a single stack of 4GB HBM
memory, rather than being forced to load it up with GDDR5. This also reduces
the size of the liquid cooling needed, with the new shroud design marking a
radical departure for AMD as well.
Those power connectors indicate the Radeon R9 390X will be a
bit of guzzler when it comes to power consumption, likely drawing on at least
300W of power. You can see it for yourself below, as well as the official
teaser video from AMD.
