AMD R9 295X - A dual-GPU card with hybrid cooling?


     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.

AMD Reveals HD7990 "The Fastest Graphics Card in The World"


We all had heard about it, and finally AMD unveiled it's long in the making graphics card at GDC 2013, the AMD Radeon HD 7990.

Sporting one of the coolest looking coolers (DID YOU SEE WHAT I DID?) on a reference graphics card, how well does it perform without overclocking? Be damned if I knew. Truth is we have actually seen 7990s from 3rd party manufacturers, and seeing the reference card design, it is much better than the custom coolers, with more accents of red than black.

How good is the performance though? We could probably refer to the Club 3D 7990 but I wouldn't speculate that it would be better than the 3rd party one.

Down the break, hoping for more good news from GDC 2013.
