TweakTown
has exclusive news that AMD's Fiji GPU will be officially launched as the Radeon R9 Fury and Radeon R9 Fury X. The latter model will be the new watercooled flagship, it will have a short PCB (as soon in some of the teaser pictures) and will reportedly cost as much as $849.
The Radeon R9 Fury X will be a reference card with AIBs not able to change the cooler, but TweakTown can confirm that it will be the short card that has been spotted in the leaked images. The Radeon R9 Fury will see aftermarket coolers placed onto it, so we should see some very interesting cards released under the Radeon R9 Fury family.
The Radeon R9 Fury X has a rumored MSRP of $849, making it $200 more than the NVIDIA GeForce GTX 980 Ti, but $150 cheaper than the Titan X. The Fury X branding is a nice change from AMD, but it does sound awfully close to the Titan X with that big, shiny, overpowering 'X' in its name, doesn't it?
