minus-squareSir Arthur V Quackington@lemmy.worldlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up13·17 days agoIf you show up in person it was not, but the resale market and board partners kind of screwed this up. AMD and Intel both need to be launching FEs and pushing the price down and making these board partners look bad.

They do. https://www.amazon.com/Intel-B580-Limited-Graphics-Card/dp/B0DPM9923G Looks like the 9070 might not have a reference design card, but previous gens you used to be able to buy a reference design directly from AMD.
minus-squaredubyakay@lemmy.calinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up4·17 days agoRecent reference cards for AMD were actually built by Sapphire from what I was told. So the Sapphire Pulse AMD Radeon RX 9070 XT was their reference card basically. And it acts like that, a very solid card.
minus-squarefuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·17 days agoSapphire has been building/designing their reference cards for a long ass time. AMD’s website has a picture of what I assume is the reference 9070 and sapphires pulse looks pretty different. I wish they’d bring back the reference cards. They look so much better than the aftermarket ones, even if the coolers are usually some of the worst.
