Probably Best Buy making a whoopsie.

Shame it didn't go to someone likely to figure out a good way to measure the power draw.

Thats a Bestbuy exclusive card. Same model a BB warehouse worker leaked yesterday. Fair to say it was swiped from the warehouse.

Box says 8GB of GDDR5. I guess no HBM.

Guy needs to learn to hold a camera. Maybe someone will break his hands to teach him a lesson.

It's been 13 hours and I'm pretty sure he doesn't actually know what the boxy plugs on the card are for.

The AUDACITY! The IMPUDENCE! The unabated NERVE!
My experience with Bestbuy employees leads me to believe that they think computers are magic, and require incantations to be made along with ritual sacrifice to upgrade a computer.

I'd be interested in hearing how the sale goes. I'm more interested in knowing if they're just pure rebrands or not but the sale could be funny.

It's such a horrible name. But I had to advertise the Goon Rust server on reddit. At least I might get some mileage out of it on this ebay sale.

You might want to fix your Reddit post. This is 390 SKU, not 390X.

I wonder if you'll get bids, given that it'd arrive on the 17th and I think we all expect them to be available in stores on the 16th. Will be interesting to follow...

Sounds like AMD is withholding 300-series review samples from the press, and employing fanboy-based marketing instead:
