Wow at that form factor and reference liquid cooling. At the moment I'm firmly on team green, and just recently upgraded, but I'll still be watching this very closely. More competition is always a good thing.
 
It's like a Kia ad where they show everything at stupid angles so you can't tell what anything actually looks like.

Happy r9 280 user here, just saying
 
I love it when this happens. Please AMD get these here before the witcher 3 releases at the right price and you'll sell a bucket of them if they're good!
 
8.5 tflops!? Holy shit.

I can remember watching some official Battlefield 4 demonstration(i think it was the preview gameplay trailer) being run on a 7990 at 4k and thinking "how many years is it gonna take us to get to that kind of crazy power in a single GPU??"

AMD has always had high TFLOPS for their cards relative to nVIDIA. Their TFLOPS aren't as efficient, though.
 
I don't think I'll be upgrading to this card (but man is it tempting). I currently have a 290x and it's been doing a fine job... at least for the games I play.
 
Wow seems like they going for full cover water cooling on the card. No fan on the card itself like HD 295x2. Also it's significantly smaller than other flagship cards.
 
This is gonna cost me over $1000 in Australia isn't it? :(

No way, it'll be $700 Australian and probably less. Wait a month or two until the new nvidia cards and it will be sub $500. Always the same trend.

I mean the 290's are only $300 here ATM. The current Aussie dollar doesn't help though.
 
Can't wait for it to comes out, will be building my new computer then. My only question would be to purchase two R9 390X or one R9 395x2?

Hmm ok. This will probably be my next GPU then, just have to play the waiting game.
 
No SCART connection? How am I meant to hook it up to my Teletext-enabled TV?

Seriously though, from what we can see it's a nice-looking card and the advent of GPUs going water-cooling only does make me a little bit too excited.

Titan X currently is selling for $1600. So, if this card is more powerful than Titan X, AND is less than half the price, a lot of people will be getting it.
 
That HBM + interposer tease. The card's size and layout was one one of the things I was curious about. It only makes sense that it's a lot smaller now that everything is included in one package instead of having like eight separate chips on the PCB.
