Here are some of the first pictures of Sapphire's custom-design Radeon R9 Fury graphics card. The card features a triple-slot (or 2.2-slot) Tri-X cooling solution. Its PCB appears to be AMD reference-design (identical in design to the R9 Fury X), but cooled by a long triple-fan dual-stack heatsink, with over one-third of it being overhung. Quite a few GTX 970, GTX 670, and GTX 760 cards are known to have similar overhangs of coolers that are longer than the PCB.

The pics also come with leaked specs-sheets, which confirm its core configuration of 56 out of 64 compute units being enabled, yielding 3,584 stream processors; while leaving the 4 GB 4096-bit HBM memory untouched. The core clock speed is lower, at 1000 MHz, while the memory clock is left untouched at 500 MHz, compared to the R9 Fury X. Sapphire is also selling a factory-overclocked card with 1040 MHz core. The Radeon R9 Fury is expected to launch in mid-July (next week).

Oh lord, I was afraid of this. These chips do run super hot to have an extended cooled on the cards..

I'll personally be staying away from these fury cards unless water cooled. Everyone knows I love my crossfire systems but not this time.

HUGE card. Most likely will have to add a water block on it anyways. So, with the added price of a basic water block and water cooling setup for this card + the card itself, probably worth going straight to the Fury X.

You know I was not as big of a fan of the Nitro cooler compared to the Tri-X cooler from the previous generation (Mostly on looks). Looking at it up close on this card however is not as bland for some reason to my eyes but still lacks the color and cool design of the previous. Maybe I just need to see it from a different angle.

You do realize the PCB is short and hence there will cards of Fury X size...

I'll personally be staying away from these fury cards unless water cooled. Everyone knows I love my crossfire systems but not this time.

Not really, Sapphire doesn't see worth in creating a new wheel for this card alone, hence the trusty old long cooler.

Yeah, and base clock 'up to' 1000 or 1040Mhz. Could signify known thermal throttling or playing it safe after Hawaii?

Because that's what gpu manufacturers usually do. Give crazy psu requirements. The last thing they'd ever want is to have some customer complain that the gpu he bought didn't work plugged on his 450w generic psu even though the manufacturer requires exactly 450w for the card.

Why would you have to add a water block? The heat sink and fan setup on that card looks more than adequate.

I find cooler overhangs funny, my 670 is the same, the whole blower fan hangs off the end of the card. Just goes to show how small electronic parts are becoming.

I do wonder if the 3 slot (2.2 wide) hs/f is REQUIRED, I wasn't a fan of 2 slot coolers but at least you can properly do sli/cf with them.

I sincerely hope a 3 slot is not required because of the temps. We'll know soon. I guess we'll know how good the water cooler on the Fury X is.

This is just the usual Sapphire Tri-x cooler nothing changed except the fact that this card is really tiny , thats why half of the Tri-x cooler can be seen naked with no board.
To be fair the Tri-x is not the only long cooler out there both Gigabyte and Asus got their new Tri-fan coolers on top of the GTX cards and to be honest both are ugly and noisy as hell !

Asus : 12" L , 6" H ... lol


Gigabyte: 12.5" Long !

the PCB of this 980 is 30.2cm long ! so yeah ... lol lol lol

Looks like it's very close to the same package size 305(L)X 114(W)X 47(H) mm (12"x 4.48"x 1.8") as their R9 290X Vapor-X Tri-X... (or is it perhaps longer) So yea it way long. But I hardy think this would be as stressing as a Hawaii was on it. While if you look at the mounting screws it appears they didn't just re-use the 290X, there seems to be some differences in placement and spacing when compared to the PCI slot.

Sapphire just took the best cooler they have and throw it on the card. If they where creating a different cooler for R9 Fury , I wouldn't be surprised to see posts saying that "I am waiting for the Tri-X version".

At least they didn't do something like this

You not looking at this objectively, were with most coolers blow the hot air from the fins and heat pipes at the pcb this will be blowing the hot air away ( well 1/2 of it :p ) from the card which to me is ++.

It would have been good to actually mention the length of the card.

You should look at the pictures. The dimensions of the card are listed. "306(L)*114(W)*49(H) mm"

Wow, I looked at both those and I never noticed that before I wrote the post above... It's there on the right-side middle in bold print. I think that's messed me up... they see it as such an "admired specification" they put it out on it own and in bold.
So it's a little longer and thicker (2.2 slot vs. dual slot)
