minus-squarefuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up9·10 days ago 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-squarefuckwit_mcbumcrumble@lemmy.dbzer0.comlinkfedilinkEnglisharrow-up2·9 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.
