Gibbo, when you say ample would it be similar or more than what the 1080 had at launch plus what arrived for a couple of weeks after launch?

As that would seem to be what AMD are doing, waiting those extra few weeks to get as much stock into the retailers as possible.

I bet they still all sell out, unless the performance is more soggy downpour than blinding star/sunlight.

Awesome, was hoping for something aftermarket cooled but if the stock cooler is good then the stock cooler it is.

Probably got AMDMatt coming to the store for the grand release or something

Shame it will be ref only cards, i can wait it out for the Non Ref AIB jobbies

Seanspeed · 20 Jun 2016 at 14:18

I hope we at least get some reviews for 3rd party cards on the 29th.

I'm most likely gonna go reference card, but I'd like to see my options.

No custom stuff, ref. only which in my view is fine as AMD nailed the cooler this time, it looks great, is quiet and performs.

No custom cards on release? Oh dear

Ok let's ramp up the hype, if gibbo has bought a shed load it's because he knows they will sell well

new boy · 20 Jun 2016 at 14:21

How many Gibbo hertz can you get out of it

Of course they will sell well, if I listened to the forum half the time we'd sell nothing.

They will be a huge hit just like 1070 and 1080 have being.

I take it no solid info on price before release?

Looking forward to one of these to replace my ageing 7950. Not sure how much of a bottleneck the rest of my system will be in newer games like Doom though. I need to do a complete new build but putting it off as long as possible and hoping this will at least allow me a good performance boost for little cost.

brawl3r · 20 Jun 2016 at 14:27

So who is going to be sitting on the iron (cough... 480) Throne. Place your bets now.
