Was there a Fury-P with 6+ 8 Pin?

It can't be an overclocked 2/390X, score is too high.

They are all 8 + 8 from what i can find, same as the fury x models. Only ones that are different are the nano and the pro duo for obvious reasons. These 480X could have been nano board sized if HBM manufacturing options were already cheap enough. That thing is tiny.

Faker tells people he is putting a cooler from another card on it "to circumvent NDA".

How many times we seen fakes using old cards? Come on, apply some critical thinking.

Interesting, the Nano has a single 8 Pin.

The only cards with 6 + 8 Pin are the 2/390X, its not them as the scores are too high even for the best clocked 390X

if the performance is close to Nvidia 1070,a card in a totally different bracket, then I can even see people returning 1070 cards for the Polaris cards

I hope so, teach Nvidia for their price gouging.

Pretty sure. Its a bit of a mess but the website is showing LA Local time (PDT), not the CT time shown in the tweet. But 1.30pm local in LA is 9.30pm here....

colour me confused.

Since the show is in LA it's quite simple to get the time.

Just type in ' LA time' in google and it shows you the time in LA right now.
I just checked now and it's 10.50am in LA. UK time is 18.50pm. GMT is 7 hours ahead of LA time.

So the show should be 18.00pm tomorrow evening in UK.

Except we are on BST

Not so simple obviously

But it says 1:30pm CT in the tweet. That's 19:30 BST.

"The PC Gaming Show starts at 11:30 AM Pacific (2:30 PM ET, 6:30 PM GMT)"

All of those times above equate to 19:30 BST. We are currently BST, of course.

Here comes the nvidia defense league, downplaying AMD as always. No critical thinking allowed here.

I mean, it would be impossible to. Show a card with a 6+8pin but benchmark a faster Fury.... And if course it is well known that replacing a cooler cancels all NDAs.

The thing that is confusing people is the timer on the pc gamer website,its says 15 hours to go,when it should say 25 hours.

Is there a guarantee a 290x wasn't shown while different faster card was benchmarked?

13:30, Central Time (CT) is 19:30, in London, UK

So I said -7 rather than -8 hrs.
How does that matter when the current LA time 11.25am and the UK time is 19.25. The shows starts at 10.00am LA time so that will be 18.00pm here in the UK. It is as simple as that.

It starts at 19:30 BST. It's so simple. Please stop.

Jesus guys just ignore DP and his cohorts you guys know he will come here just to shoot everything down and bury it under his nonsense and Nvidia PR.

If the benchmarks ring true and if we get a 490 type card then all I can say is AMD have pulled a masterstroke, I can see so many people buying their cards, and if the performance is close to Nvidia 1070,a card in a totally different bracket, then I can even see people returning 1070 cards for the Polaris cards

But what's even more exciting is there are AMDs cards aimed at the lower tiers, imagine what the top end Vega stuff is going to be like

+1

Oh and i have 7 on my ignore list now.

pedantic aren't you. 18.00pm if it's 10.00am LA time imo but some are saying 19.30pm based on the 1.30pm CT tweet.
