The most annoying man in Canada

 

[JessieD]

He is a bit annoying. Just last week he was ripping AMD a new one on Vega FE, strongly implying that RX was going to be awful in a kind of angry, petulant way, and now he's fawning all over them because they gave him stuff.

The thing is I could probably learn quite a bit from him. But his ADHD theatrics make me want to stab out my own ear drums

Update: they remove it"

If these are genuine prices and they converts to the £ fairly I can live with them. I'll even go for the watercooled limited edition.

haha best unboxing ever: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=twkZz5WyVJs

Edit: Was too slow apparently. Best freesync support -> HDMI 2.1 confirmed??

Brilliant - seems to come with a DP to DVI adaptor too!!

This should have been RX Vega, It's a shame this had to be a limited edition model, It looks great and it seems to be a very nicely made blower unit.
I hope the watercooled one that looks like this isn't also a limited edition and an excuse to increase the price too high.

It's all down to price now, I recently bought a 650 watt psu and if it really isn't capable of running the water cooled full fat Vega card I'll need to factor the cost of a new psu in as well as I don't want to go back to using the non modular psu I also have.

It looks like the aluminium versions are Special Editions only. Gamersnexus didn't specify which Water version they were previewing though.
Price / performance is definitely key.

Would need to be to keep a thread ripper cpu cool, that seems to be areal limitation of that case, 120-140mm rads seems to be all it can take so they have to make the rad chunkier to be able to accommodate other cpu's

It won't take 140s. 120s only.

Seems Hardwarecanucks are already running the tests.

Really not a fan of the placement for the tubing.

It might not even make it to the top of my chassis with my tower air cooler in the way, unless it put the tubing up against the back of the Noctua.
The Fury X tubing was perfect at the back, and was longer than that Limited Edition's.

I wonder if being special edition means cherry picked chips as well as good looking casing?

Damn it, all back on the hype train. Loved the look of that cube and I want one

It would have been better like that, or both tubing and power cables coming out of the backend like we've seen with some branded cards lately, It'd make for a much tidier build.

I want a limited edition AIO edition...

Aye. Not sure why they put it at the front. The Fury X did it really well. The FX tubing looks like it was longer than the Vega cards' as well.

Haha, yeah. I like the cube also.

Back on the hype train everyone! AMD might yet live up to my expectations yet

Yep they posted they haven't hot the card yet, but still information is dropping in.

 

[NoobCannon]

I don't understand the appeal of that Linus tech tips bloke. I find him unwatchable, I think I maybe alone in my dislike though

Definatly not. Cant stand him

 

[DazQ87]

Some of their review videos are alright, but that live unboxing was pretty annoying and clingy.

Turncoat. Up to last week you were bashing me for saying lets wait and see.
