At the announcement of the Fiji graphics circuit, AMD promised to release four graphics cards. First out was the Radeon R9 Fury X, which was soon followed by the R9 Fury, which in turn was joined by at least the R9 Nano. Now the supreme flagship remains, which with double circles Fiji will take the throne of performance.
From the beginning, AMD announced that the variant with dual graphics circuits “Gemini” would be released in the autumn, which within the next few days will suffer towards the end. There are no official offers yet for the next step, but by all accounts, the graphics card can see the light of day before the turn of the year.

Now this information is being added by Frosbite manager Johan Andersson, as on Twitter writes that he received an early copy of an as yet unreleased graphics card with a broken water cooler. Although nothing has been confirmed at present, there is much to suggest that this is AMD’s upcoming dual variant.
First, AMD has already shown graphics cards, which measure an estimated 21-22 centimeters. The shrunken dimension in combination with power consumption, which is probably in the same region as the Radeon R9 295X2, makes water cooling perhaps the most reasonable alternative for heat dissipation.
The second thing that suggests that it may be AMD’s future flagship is that no other information is circulating about other upcoming graphics cards with closed water coolers, either from AMD or rival Nvidia. Last but not least, Johan Andersson has on previous occasions previously gossiped about unlicensed AMD graphics cards.
