Rumour - XFX R9 390 pictures

[freemini]

I like how a lot of people still hate wccf yet it's almost always the source for leaks lately.

[Gunjob]

Story of my life in terms of PSU's

Don't know why, XFX PSU's are just rebadged Seasonic's which are incredible PSU's.  

[Victorious Secret]

That looks hideous

 

Yea, but 390! HYPE HYPE HYPE

Hating on WCCF is the hipster thing to do these days.

Would look better without the triangles all over it.

[Norman_the_Owl]

Meh, the 290x DD looked better...

[Sakkura]

Looks so damn tacky. The triangles as well as gold trim... XFX, what are you doing. Your 200 series redesign was beautiful

[Thony]

That's hell of a ugly cover on it... Would like to know how AMD fans feel about this specific picture.

But who buys reference designs ?!

[TwistedDictator]

Comfimed fake

 

[Thony]

[IMPERIUS]

I quite like the design

[EllieTheFuzzy]

yeah the gold trim did look tacky as heck, I'd have gone for a black grey silver or maybe like a red or green

[Notional]

Comfimed fake

 

 

That power delivery system, is fairly standard, across multiple series, so not sure how it is confirmed fake. It is a completely new cooler from XFX, which is unlikely to be made for an existing card. However, the potato used to take the pictures, does make it a little difficult to see if it is 390 or 380. On the left of the second number, there is an indentation, so I think it says 390. Either way, we will see.

[MrRavens]

Getting ever closer to the release of the AMD cards. They better blow me away. Else I'm egging their HQ.

[carolkarine]

am I the only one who thinks this looks good?

[Mr.Dingle]

The Double Dissipation on the 200 series looks way better imo, make them cool the GPU properly and you have a contender. 

But this... just, no. 

 

I would vote for the DD cooler on the current 200 series is one of , if not the best looking cooler . Too bad it has a hard time cooling a 290x

[gurnben]

Why are AMD coolers always so ugly. 

I must agree... I haven't seen many AMD coolers that I find attractive, I like my EVGA GTX 770 SC's personally, and they have a bit of gold accent even...

hmmmmmmmmmm....top pics fans have thicker sickles hmmm

He might be right, why would there be some sort of IO shield on the usual location of the memory if the 390 doesn't have them.

And why are there no photos of the other angles, most people would photograph it from all angles.

[ZestyJalapeno]

When XFX does it: "OMG that is the worst cooler I've ever seen in the history of coolers!"

 

When EVGA does the same thing (Kepler ACX): "OMG that is the most beautiful cooler I've ever seen in the history of coolers!"

 

SMDH it's upside down in your case and all you'll see is a PCB

[TheDev]

2015...everything has to be gold

That IO shield, works as to stiffen the board itself, to prevent sag, as well as dissipate heat from the VRM's (there is one between the GPU and Outputs too. Makes little sense to split it into two. However, if it is a 380, it would make sense, as it is Hawaii based.

[ManOfDisguise]

dem illuminati triangles though

Isn't that why backplates are installed, and that would be the wrong location for VRM shields on that location. It might be a 380, but is doesn't say it.

And where are the other angles off the card, if it was me, I would take pictures every 5 degrees of angle.

[A.D.A.M]

Its ugly as sin. Damn obsession for gold, i want white and black

[SurvivorNVL]

I actually like how it looks, weirdly enough.  Doesn't look like anything else I've seen recently, and XFX cards always remind me of EVGA in design.  I like it.  Wish it were white and black, but gold ain't that bad on it.
