     I always take rumors with a pinch of salt, but this picture looks legit enough to be true; still, read this with your skepticism hat ready. Apparently someone posted supposed pictures and specifications of the dual GPU card on chinese forum Chiphell. As we can see from the picture, there's a pre-filled water cooler attached to the card, alongside a fan situated at the center of the card; this suggests that the card will feature hybrid cooling. Seeing how past AMD cards performed in terms of heat, there definitely is a need for a more efficient cooling method.

     Looking at the entire design of the card, it definitely looks a bit too funky, perhaps they should had stay with the 7990 aesthetics instead of going with what closely resembles the aesthetics of cards from the green camp. Well, we will just have to wait and see.
