According to earlier rumors, AMD should launch its Antigua XT-based Radeon R9 380X graphics card sometime next week and today we have pictures of three different versions from various AMD AIB partners.
Judging from the leaked pictures from Videocardz.com, it appears that AMD AIB partners will have a green light for custom versions since day one and today we have pictures from Gigabyte, XFX and ASUS.
Specification wise, the Radeon R9 380X will be based on Antigua XT GPU (Tonga XT) with 2048 Stream Processors, 32 ROPs and 128 TMUs. The GPU clock speed will vary depending on the version and we will see it set at up to 1000MHz. It also comes with 4GB of GDDR5 memory clocked at 5.6GHz and paired up with a 256-bit memory interface.
While the XFX Radeon R9 380X was already pictured earlier with Double Dissipation cooler, we now have a chance to see the Gigabyte R9 380X with Windforce 2X cooler and ASUS' Radeon R9 380X with STRIX cooler. All three are overclocked editions so we could see some decent GPU clocks of up to 980MHz, since all three will feature two 6-pin PCI-Express power connectors.
While there are still no precise details regarding the price of the Raedon R9 380X, rumors suggest that AMD might launch it at US $249.
In any case, we will know for sure next week, when AMD is scheduled to launch the new graphics card.
