Johan Andersson from EA posts Radeon R9 390X photo
Johan Andersson, Technical Director on Frostbite at Electronic Arts and the man behind the Battlefield series posted a rather intriguing photo on his Twitter, it's the Radeon R9 390X (if its named that) alright.
In this comment he states:
This new island is one seriously impressive and sweet GPU. wow & thanks @AMDRadeon ! They will be put to good use :)
Here's that photo, which definitely is the real thing. The product is closely resembling renders posted a week or so ago. That card (Likely Fiji) is so small in size thanks to on-die HBM Memory, making the PCB really small as you do not need space for graphics memory on the actual PCB any longer.
And below the earlier leaked renders. it seems that the Radeon R9 390X has 4 display outputs, three DisplayPorts and one HDMI. There is no DVI port. The card is dual-slot in design and does not seem to have a visible fan indicating liquid cooling, the monitor output grill however suggest otherwise. Specs this far indicate this (all rumored of course):
- 4,096 GCN 1.2 shader processors
- 256 TMUs
- 128 ROPs
- 4096-bit wide HBM interface, 1.25 GHz memory clock, memory bandwidth 640 GB/s.
- 8GB graphics memory
Below the speculated specs of Fiji in a table:
AMD Radeon R9 390X | AMD Radeon R9 290X | |
---|---|---|
GPU Code Name | Fiji XT | Hawaii XT |
GPU Cores / Shaders | 4096 | 2816 |

That cooler looks sick, I hope it's real. I'm also kind of glad they are moving away from DVI, tired of DVI ports/cables.

I just hope it works with my monitor otherwise I'm screwed. I'm sure you will get some models with dual link DVI port's on it.

DVI is dead, $15 dollar adapter too much for you?

Must be your fan profile, my MSI Lightning 290X running furmark doesn't go past 68 degrees, but it's cooler is also quite aggressive, but even an XFX custom cooler manages to stay way below 90 degrees afaik.
It does look rather nice that card, I'm itching to see more!
