Sapphire Radeon R9 Fury Pictured, Specs Confirmed
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).

I'll personally be staying away from these fury cards unless water cooled. Everyone knows I love my crossfire systems but not this time.
And lol, brumak51

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.
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
At least they didn't do something like this
So it's a little longer and thicker (2.2 slot vs. dual slot)
