How can you say that LMFAO, its 7:45am way to early yet where the presentation is being held on the USS hornet.

6-8:00pm and we should see results.

Don't forget +1 hour for BST.

Lol people all over the world will be thinking, ITS MORNING 5870????? When people are just going to sleep in other countries...

Australians must be well annoyed thinking release was on the 10th for them.

It is 16:07pm here now. It is currently 11.07am in the eastern timezone.

I will let you do the math

Although, It can get confusing. There are more abbreviations for time than there are car specs nowadays !!

It does beg the question why it says they're launching at QuakeCon, which is in Texas, and their time is 10.11am, why we haven't seen shizzle yet.

I was being pretty sarcastic, but still, the lack of any concrete details (and ATi's broken website) shows a lack of organisation from AMD PR.

Depends whether that site is making the EDT adjustment or not

5 or 6 it is then.

@ Reflux, AFAIK, QuakeCon was weeks ago.

The reason for it being such fail is because it is NOT a launch. All the people attending the event are under NDA (although some people will probably break the NDA and we will get more leaks later on).

The launch and end of the NDA is September 22/23rd....
