very nice indeed. bet 2 of these would power a 4k monitor easily? no?

1 of those will do 4k at 60fps I'm sure.

 

[WINTERLORD]

1 @60fps how so because of the memory bandwidth im assuming?

 

[BBrent]

For sure. Said to be about 15% better than the gtx 980 which already does 4k with 55 fps average. If the leaked details end up true that is.

Well it looks great, expect for the very high tdp. I don't need my computer to melted into my desk.

The 4096 shader core count is impossible on a 28nm node because TSMC doesn't make dies that are over 600mm^2, so the shader count is fake also there won't be ANY 20nm GPUs because of the low yields. Also a 300W card is possible only with water cooling which on a reference card is showing that the card is extremely power hungry. Never has there been a reference water cooling used on a single GPU. 300W means that they don't care about efficiency at all, they want to beat the GTX 980 so badly.

With HBM AMD is already ahead of NVIDIA for the year. Leaked pictures of the casing look alot like the R9 295x2 so one would assume since they are now partners with Asetek that the gpu would be watercooled.

wait a minute will one nvidia 980 get 55fps @4k resolution in games? always thought ud need sli 2x 980
