That AMD video was one cheesy piece of marketeering, holy moly that was bad.

It feels like I just watched a trailer for the next Civilization game.

I want this to do all the compute.

While this is great and all, I just want a high end AMD gaming card and I'm getting testy waiting for it.

No review samples? That's not good..

This isn't the consumer card, so don't expect reviews...

When the consumer Vega launches, then you will see reviews.

I think this is a cool way to go, if they're thinking of applying this release strategy to cards in the future. Often launch-day drivers are kinda meh, so having a prosumer card out first could make the consumer cards more competitive on launch day.
