I just did a search on a well known auction site for rx480...pre order at £230 for an 8gb card so if that's the price I'm happy at that

I just saw the same. Says its 1288 clocked too.

From the chat, I think he's trying to sort out internet. He can't download 3Dmark atm or something.

The chat are talking about WIFI hotspots and 4G.

He has enough internet to stream out live video but not download a program? Seems odd

He also said that he never actually tested it. He just plugged it in and turned it on pretty much. So he is going on expectation and not experience.

He's recently been out in Taiwan meeting the manufacturers who know exactly how their own cards perform.

Well that sucked!

Well that was a bit crap.

Did AMD say the embargo will now be lifted on the 24'th?

it might be brought forward to the 24th due to info released in numerous leaks.

And from various amounts of chat on different site, he apparently borked the card when he tried overclocking it.

previously leaks say it comes with a book saying to go easy on the voltage increases, he might have been more agressive using previous gen values to increase the clocks etc.

Armature

lol

Is that a new one, or a spare? or the 470?

tavtavtav · 21 Jun 2016 at 13:15

I didn't even know you could bork these modern cards with an OC.

Uncle_Gravy · 21 Jun 2016 at 13:17

He kill the card?

Yes, apparently people are saying he killed it with too much voltage, the moment he set the overclock it black screened and wouldn't boot right after. which was just before he pulled the card, stupid site doesnt let you rewind the stream so couldnt double check things.

If the card is unlocked it will depend on fail safes in the drivers, if they are not yet hashed out its easy to go over the threshold.

Its a reference card with minimal board power design.

The streamer said in his chat at the end that the card had to be taken away, and he couldn't say why. And he'll be back tomorrow.

So yeah, that sucked.
