same reason they pre order rtx 2080
Actually because it has 16GB HBM2 ram, which I need for my usage
And was one of the reasons got Vega 64, because of the HBCC.
Think he's wrong about that, you can see the edges where it's bevelled and shinier. Also noticeable in the hardocp vid here:

Weird him thinking it plastic then, for $700 it better be metal.
He seems to go by sound in that vid, the shroud is going to sound different as in his vid he's still got the full heatsink assembly attached to it. Whereas the backplate isn't attached to anything.

Here you go fellas this is as close as I could find to seeing a Radeon 7 in action
It's masked as a 3 monitor setup video BUT he is running everything on that video on the new card. You get to see Battlefield 1 (corrected) and Dirt 3 running on the card on triple monitor and it looks smooth as hell.
5:35 you see the card is in there
And skip to the end to see the games running on it

I have one very important question
On the 7th do I go to the AMD website or to OCUK ? at 7am in the morning lol to wait for the first available moment to order one?

Sneaky way of doing it, thats BF1 in the vid though which isn't as intensive as BFV.
Actually on second viewing that's not the radeon 7. If you look at the image of it in the case at 9:03 it's not got the vents on top of the shroud like radeon 7 does.

On OCUK ?
Why the silence???
Please @Gibbo or someone shed some light for us, if you want our money help us sort out how to give it to you
Most likely, that's the usual time these launches go live. No clue if the amd uk store is selling them direct. BTW, see above on the other vid, that's an LE vega 64.
Soldato
What are you talking about sorry? See above on the other vid?
The vid you posted with the triple display, thats a vega 64 limited edition, the top of the shroud is missing the vents the radeon 7 has.

Here? This is not a LE 64
He cuts to a completely different picture when he says "we will talk about in another video"
Its all red but there is no red RGB before that

It is,
go to 9:03 in the vid, the top of the shroud is solid with no venting. The radeon 7 has vents on the top.

He is double trolling, that sucks
lol, it looked a bit fishy with the table blocking most of the card then you see inside and realise what it is. Definitely intentional considering it's due in a few days.
It's also possible they were running a radeon 7 and cut to b roll of an LE-64 to not get in trouble with amd. Only they know for sure.
Soldato
On the video at least is a Vega 64 LE. If you see closely the N on RADEON has a clear piece of the shroud
Contrary to Radeon VII, which has a vent. @Gerard is right.
From same video
Here is the Radeon VII

Towards the end he points out how enclosed the heatsink is, I took stick for saying the same thing yesterday, It was exacxtly the same with the Turing reference cards. It's like they've ignored what's been learned over the last few years and designed reference cards where aesthetics have taken priority rather than thermals and noise, I mean look how hollowed out the heatsink, They've had to give sides to it and the sides are struggling for room to let the airflow out, one side struggles because they shrunk the area down for the Radeon sign and the other side will be bouncing it back at the card off the motherboard. It's gonna be interesting to see how the card performs under real world conditions.

Yeah he talks completely like its the Radeon7 though, but he is doing the old twsterooniOn the video at least is a Vega 64 LE. If you see closely the N on RADEON has a clear piece of the shroud
