Gimmick? It's an enthusiast grade feature sent from heavens. You can flash Radeons pretty much absolutely carelessly and you can't go wrong unless if you fry them. But other than that, that switch does wonders...

@HTC I live in a very extreme climate, which here is 8 months of the year. Very hot, very humid. We have two seasons: Super Hot, which severely affects ambient indoor temps (air conditioning cant keep up), and "Almost Fall/Spring" (which would be a summer day up North.
Thats why I responded originally, since i definately am not in a mild climate. I do agree though, any cooler should be able to work anywhere.
Reference cards always look boring.
And we really don't know how much HBM will help the 390X, AMD has had double the memory bandwidth of nVidia in the last generation and couldn't manage to outperform nVidia. So obviously just piling on more memory bandwidth isn't the solution to their problems.
I'm also not quite sure why people expect it to offer a better value. If it really does outperform nVidia you can bet it won't offer a better value in any way, AMD will price it just as high as the Titans(they've done it in the past). If it doesn't outperform nVidia, then AMD will price the 390X right in line with what it matches from nVidia, just like they currently do.

Absolutely! Onward.Exactly. Now: enough of the side topic (reference cooler). I'm to blame for part of that, anyways ...

Leaked benches claim that at stock it's on par with Titan X, factory boost clocks could get it up by 20%, soon it will be a time to read about all those Strix, G1 and Gaming model announcements again. I kinda know what to expect on the green side and for once I'm interested in what AMD will show memory, heat and power consumption wise.

First of all, you have no idea what your talking about in regards to the reference cooler. I have 3 of them that had the reference cooler, you can keep the temps in a normal case below 95c on the 55% fan speed setting even under gaming load with normal airflow (Yes reviewers had some trouble keeping temps down, we are aware of that but a patch among other things helped out). You bump it to 60% and its in the mid 80's, I own these cards and ALL THREE of them acted the same with one of them being 1 degree (or roughly) higher.
Probably because they went to the next level to give people a quiet reference cooler. Not much more could easily be done to a fan cooler so what's next without making a cooler that dumps air into case.
To top it off, from what i've read the Titan X even now throttles a bit so its not the perfect cooler...
Anyways, the 980ti Titan cooler will be replaced by other aftermarket same as normal. The normal cooler does it job fine but its is getting a bit dated. Though it still looks nice to me!

I agree, its kinda a low point for the throttle but its what they chose. The 980ti might just outperform it by a good amount depending as well if they allow for higher clocking especially on classified or lightning versions of the card.From the review here the Titan X does down clock quickly under load. The cooler had trouble keeping the GPU under 84 degrees. That's the point when it cuts back on the boost. That was disappointing for 2 reasons imo. The down clocking obviously and setting it to do so at 84 degrees. You can run a higher temp on GPUs if performance is top priority. I don't know why Nvidia set it to down clock at 84 degrees.
It's just a guess on my part but I think a 980 Ti even though it will have less cores than the Titan X with a great non reference cooler will possibly outperform the Titan X.
If it comes in at $650 or less then it will sell very well. That was the price for the GTX 780 at release.
Or they did it to pretend their game needs that much

interestingly, COD AW, DR3, and SoM all go past 4GB. SoM is getting close to 6GB, and watch dogs, ryse, FC4, and AC unity are close to 4GB. Given another year, 4GB probably isnt going to be enough. even 6GB may not be enough, if SoM is any indication.
