I don't think so. It's most likely a 300W card, that also need liquid cooling. It's not possible to put it in a x51.
AMD Radeon Fury X Series | HBM, Small Form Factor And Water Cooling | June 16th

The problem is, SK Hynix' first generation HBM1 only supports 4GB stacked memory.
There were rumors that AMD was switching to HBM2 for R9 390X but it appears that wasn't true. It doesn't fit with the time frame of 390X (mid 2015) and HBM2 (2016).
Supposedly AMD could be using "Dual Link Interposer" to get 8 GB (2x 4-HI HBM) without using 2nd gen HBM2.

You tech people can un-mangle the mess I just made of these technologies, separate rumor from fact, and all that.

So would I need a watercooled System for that?
No this will be a self sufficient cooling system. You will need a place for the rad+vent though. And if you already have a water cooling system you can use it by expanding the loop.
that's tiny, If it can rival that GTX980 I will have to ask what black magic/ voodoo are they using.BronzeWolf

Where does this stack in terms of power compared to an Nvidia card?

TechPowerUp - AMD Fiji XT Reference PCB as Short as GTX 970 Reference, R9 295X2 Performance
"AMD's upcoming Radeon R9 390X graphics cards will ship in two SKUs - an air-cooled one, with a moderately long reference design board (though not as long as the R9 290X), and a new Water-Cooled Edition (WCE) SKU, which will feature a very compact PCB - one that could be no bigger than that of the GeForce GTX 970 reference. This is possible because of AMD's HBM implementation. The 8 GB of memory on this card is present on the GPU package, as bare 3D-stacked DRAM dies, surrounding the GPU die, with an IHS covering everything; rather than the GPU package being surrounded by memory chips. Other specs on hand so far, include 4,096 GCN 1.2 stream processors, 256 TMUs, 128 ROPs, and a 4096-bit wide HBM interface, which at 1.25 GHz memory clock, will offer memory bandwidth of 640 GB/s."
"The single-GPU card could offer performance comparable to the dual-GPU R9 295X2, which is faster than the GeForce GTX TITAN-X."

- Product could launch on the sidelines of Computex 2015 (early June)
- WCE variant will feature a pump+block covering the GPU package, which will come factory-fitted to a 120 x 120 mm radiator
- The air-cooled R9 390X will be longer, but only to house a heatsink and lateral blower
- Three DisplayPort 1.2a and one HDMI 2.0a

Nvidia better step up their game for the 980ti version if this is true!
If a single card can do 295x2 performance in June, that's just ridiculous for expectations for the future. I'm wondering how it'll pan out

DVI is DED
HDMI is a superset of DVI with audio pins. An HDMI -> DVI adapter is like $2.

If you can afford it, then this card might futureproof your pc for 1080p.
Gotta wait for benchmark wouldn't be surprised if it can do 4k resolution with the memory bandwidth.

I hope it comes out before Arkham Knight, but damn 8GB and performace of a 295x2.
Hnggg.

Bracing myself for at least 800$. :/
Those images look like renders to me, definitely not the actual card, but possibly marketing materials.

Unlikely I think since it's rumored to outperform 980 but not Titan X.

Its rumoured to outperform the titan x. Latest articles rumour it to give comparable performance to the 295X2

That would be great.
I see what appears to be a radiator/resevoir on top? That makes its apparent (skewed in the photo) length not so straight forward.
Nice. In that case it'll be expensive though.
But I'm looking forward to a potential 390X2 crossfire on a card with water cooling. Yum

It's not. More like 2x7970 or 2xR9 280 power on paper, based on the shader count. 4 times the ROPs and ~ 2,5 bandwith I think.
It mostly is, except for the memory improvements (and slight architectural improvements from the 285). I'm curious how much a boost it will be to performance to have a virtually unmatched bandwidth limit.
Well it should eliminate pop-in and and shorten load times, no?
thats limited by HDD speeds not vram bandwidth
Pretty sure there are no dual link dvi to hdmi converters? Because that's the only port my monitor has.
Let's just hope this doesn't become the standard with nvidia too.
DVI is dying format. Displayport and HDMI are the way forward on PC, that's just the way it is.
Well I guess that's the price of having a 120hz IPS monitor before acer made their own. rip
Nope. AFAIK 120hz should be possible with HDMI 1.4. 144hz first with HDMI 2

Isn't the hdmi port a 2.0a version from wiki it says it can do 4k@60hz so i guess it should be able to do 144hz.
Through the power of alchemical transmutation?

I sucked six dicks to get this tag.
Damn this probably gonna be expensive as hell

Less than a Titan X im sure.
Very much hoping AMD delivers with these new cards. I don't need to replace my GTX 970 from a performance perspective at all but Nvidia really rubbed me up with wrong way with the VRAM thing to the extent that I want to go back to AMD on priciple alone.
But I really don't want to go backwards from the low power consumption and lack of noise and heat of my MSI 970 either so I hope AMD have focused in this area as much as Nvidia did too.

HDMI is designed for consumer entertainment electronics. It progresses as swiftly as necessary, which is to say, not very swiftly at all. It only has to support relatively modest resolutions and refresh rates, because most consumer displays support relatively modest resolutions and refresh rates.
DisplayPort is an interface and connectivity standard designed by VESA for computers. It is the successor to DVI and is designed to support the resolutions and refresh rates we need to drive computer displays.
