We seem to finally have gotten our first glimpses at the Fury X2 now.

Quote

This is the first real look we have seen at the Fury X2.

Through the window we see a card that is obviously longer than any other Fiji GPU, but that's expected since it is a dual GPU, after all.

I personally can't estimate the length just from the pic, but you guys can give your thoughts on this one.

As well, on the end we see a fan that looks like one of those blower style fans. Most likely this is an intake fan to blow air through the card to cool the VRMs and such. It wouldn't make sense to be an air cooled car since the Fury X is watercooled and so far everything has been suggesting the fury x2 will be liquid cooled. Chances are an aio cools the two Gpus and the fan cools the VRMs.

Gimme your thoughts on this! Hopefully this means the FuryX2 is getting releases soon. AMD has delayed it way too long, so much that it will launch around the same time as Polaris.

[UPDATE] Roy Taylor has posted yet another picture!

 

Here we seem to see a row of systems all (probably) with Fury X2s in them.

AMD seems to be teasing the Fury X2 a lot recently. As well, he stated "shipping soon." Hopefully this means the FuryX2 will FINALLY be launching soon. It was way delayed and is long overdue.

Damn, I didn't expect it to be that big....

Lets just hope it doesn't fall hard.

That could be literally any card in there, I see nothing to indicate that's a dual fury card. I mean, it might be but you shouldn't always believe everything you read on the internet.

that's quite big

 

gonna be hot as f*ck though. AMD seriously needs to re-design their reference cards.

Those PC's are exclusively made with the FuryX2 and are being shipped to game devs to help develop VR.

Source? 

 

Also wouldn't they be shipping fire pros to game devs? Genuine question BTW.

too bad they're powered by Intel's CPUs

What's your source ?

I am quite dubious to this being the FuryX2. When dual gpu cards opt for a blower style cooler, they have their single fan at the center and not at the end, so as to blow air from both ends to the cards and thus keep both GPU evenly cooled.
The card on the photo is a blower style card, with the fan being at the end. If this was the Fury X2, this would mean that the chip closer to the end with the video outputs would run hotter than the one closer to the fan. 

I'd say this is a single GPU card, and I would speculate that this would be a Polaris GPU.

It uses two R9 Nano GPUs, they are power efficient and don't kick out that much heat. It's not going to be like the old 295x2, which while epic did produce a lot of heat and consume a lot of power.

I don't think it should matter if their strategy is to showcase their new GPUs. When building project Quantum, AMD has been the first to admit that they used an intel CPU.

[Exty]

its a fury nano x2 atleast that is what amd twitter said before removing the pictures

I shall admit I'm wrong then. But my previous answer still stands regarding the oddity of adopting a blower style cooler for a dual GPU card.

It's uses two Nano's so it's not THAT bad.

Yeah, its expected to have a tdp of < 350 watts. They could have it down to 300. Maybe, they are releasing a liquid cooled and an air cooled version. The liquid cooled one being the ultra high end overclocked fiji with a tdp of 375 watts and the air cooled version being the undervolted chips, at <350 watts. 

[Thiback]

I am still surprised they didn't put the fan at the center. This is strange. But I guess we'll have to wait and see the temps to understand. 

[TorqueS]

Dunno why, but to me, it looks like a stock cooled 390 or 390X. I mean, I can't seem to see enough room for a radiator in that little case. Nor do I see any screws or mounts in that bottom right corner with the perforations.  

The stock cards are 11.61"(according to XFX's specs), which is roughly 30cm(29.48cm to be exact). That's about the length of the card in the picture.

 

EDIT:

NVM

We should expect the R9 Fury X2 to have a 300W TDP, but with Fiji's thermal throttling, we shouldn't expect the card to be running too hot - hence why we're seeing AMD not use a watercooler like they did on the R9 Fury X.

 

So, the Fury X2 is NOT watercooled? The hell?

Yep that's what I think too. Looks like a single GPU card, yet it's teased as a dual GPU. Weird.

those are the developer pcs they are sending out to devs to do LiquidVR stuff

goes to their image and credibility

they're not confident enough to put an AMD CPU in that build

[asim1999]

And i am pretty use that is  a Maingear PC case that they are using 

[SurvivorNVL]

If that really is the FuryX2 and it's air cooled - wow.  Just wow.  Even if it is two Nano's, those little guys thermal throttle so quickly, and if it is like the original Fury X, then it may not even get custom PCB's like the Sapphire Fury Nitro, so OC'ing would be low chance.  All in all - Titan X successor paper-release and teasing possible in April as newer reports are suggesting, so.  Eh.
