i hope you're joking considering this is an (evga) 480..(which i have one of)

EVGA+GTX+480+side+top+angled.jpg

Well i like both 4xx cards and 5xx cards. I own a GTX 280 reference and it looks great.

And i know the Fermi 480 cards ran hot....very hot...like 90C and above.

i think its mostly liquid cooled and the fan is just for the vrams and stuff so it shouldnt be spinning that fast

if it is GCN based and has 4096 cores, 256 TMU's, 64 rops....thats effectively CF280x's or 7990 performance ignoring any other possible changes.

so that would make sense if it is still on 28nm.

im hoping its 20-14nm and msi release thier TF-V cooler for it, then im sorted.

And i know the Fermi 480 cards ran hot....very hot...like 90C and above.

yep, had a gtx285 (now in friend rig), loved that too (512bus master race!), i think they ran hot due to putting effectively double a 285 into 1 die but then putting a tiny little fan on it when a 285 fan would still fit (measured it), that would of got temps into the 70-80*c range i bet.

also considered getting a 580 (fully unlocked gf110 core) and putting the 480 cooler/heatsink on it with a 285/780 fan for a "how it should of been" setup but the purist in me goes mental at the thought.

Can't wait for this although it will probably break my bank account. I hope they end up going with 6 mini dp or 3 mini dp and one full size dp, especially since you can get hdmi, vga and dvi adapters for dp (would really help with eyefinity setups too :D). Although at the same time im thinking I may as well wait for the R9 390X either for more performance or cheaper prices on the R9 380X.

I'm sorry but this card does not look great.

 

Neither does the Nvidia reference design. It is bland, boring and old. What does it do well though. Makes plastic look like metal and convey that it is an expensive part, something the reference R9 290's failed at.

 

It is SMART and AMD had two choices. Follow suit or go completely edgy. Leave the edgy to the third party guys like Nvidia does.

Them are the specifications for the R9 390X which is to be water cooled. The R9 380X is rumored to have 3072 SP's and be air cooled. The picture in the original post doesn't even belong here because it's a fan made rendering of what the R9 390X might look like.

It was confirmed for A card, we don't know which one yet because we havent gotten any more information than that one little snippet.

You know what's easier than buying and building a brand new PC? Petty larceny!
If you're worried about getting caught, here's a trick: Only steal one part at a time. Plenty of people will call the cops because somebody stole their computer -- nobody calls the cops because they're "pretty sure the dirty-bathrobe guy from next door jacked my heat sink."

No, for the 380X specifically. Both WCCF and Phoronix are quoting industry sources and engineering samples for this.

No, the 300W was never specified for the R9 380X or any other card for that matter. It just said 300W 2.5D stacked memory SOC GPU. So could be an R9 390X or just some engineering prototype that will never make it to production.

He's right, never specified for the 380X. Just some unknown GPU SOC.

WCCF? That's a valid source now?

Can't comment on the other one, never heard of them before, they could be telling the truth.

The sources never said the 380X was a 300W card. That was NEVER said. See the post above.

One engineer said she's responsible for taping out R9 380X cards. A different engineer said he has worked on a 300W GPU SoC. Two different people probably working on two different things. The 380X could be the enhanced Hawaii as far as we know and not even based on Fiji XT.

Look at the TDP of the R9 290X (290w) and then look at the TDP of the R9 295x2 (500w). The R9 380X will have 4 additional compute units over the R9 290X. The R9 390X has 20 additional compute units over the R9 290X. It's safe to say the R9 380X will come in at a 300w TDP which was stated by AMD employee's on their LinkedIn profiles.

You think AMD would take that kind of dive bomb on themselves by referencing their top tier mainstream card on an existing GPU. The R9 380X and R9 390X will more than definitely be based on whatever architecture Pirate Islands brings (GCN 1.2 or GCN 1.3). The R9 290X would be a perfect fit as the R9 380.

The listings are most likely place holders for when the cards actually launch

 

That pretty much says it all.

Again one Engineer said she's taping out R9 380X cards. A different engineer said he has worked on a 300W GPU SOC with stacked memory without mentioning any name could be a 380X, could be an engineering R&D prototype, could be a 390X we just don't know.

Honestly I'm a bit skeptical about that 4GB VRAM, I would have preferred if they went with GDDR5 on the "holy grail" cards and went with HBM on the 370X/380

I said his source could possibly be right because I haven't seen the article he's talking about and I don't pretend to be all-knowing. I was also the first person to question the tdp :P

Look at the TDP of the R9 290X (290w) and then look at the TDP of the R9 295x2 (500w). The R9 380X will have 4 additional compute units over the R9 290X.

And this card is supposed to be a different architecture from what I've heard. If so, are they somehow unable to see efficiency gains like nvidia did?
