MSI Radeon RX 570 Gaming X Pictured
Someone got lucky with an early purchase of an MSI Radeon RX 570 Gaming X graphics card, ahead of its April 18th launch, and wasted no time in posting pictures of it, before selling it off on eBay for $329. Pictures reveal the card to look not much different from the RX 470 Gaming X, given that it features the same TwinFrozr VI cooling solution. This particular card features 4 GB of GDDR5 memory. While the box doesn't reveal clock speeds, it highlights "3rd gen FinFET 14" technology, proving that AMD is building the RX 570 and RX 580 chips on a newer, more advanced 14 nm FinFET node than the one it built Polaris 10 "Ellesmere" on.

Hype train.
As im reading this i could hear my R9 290X laughing in the background. Its a 40 month old card, btw, that i paid about 200$ for three years ago.
/remember legendary "confuse the hell out of consumers" rebrands and who has invented them
I just sold a couple of (used) things for over $300 each that have an average street price of ~$125 when new, imagine my surprise when I got that sold notice :)
But I thought it was an nVidia card, like, say, these little guys:
GTX 650 (or 640 if DDR3) : GTX 740
GTX 680: GTX 770
GTX 660(OEM): GTX 760 192bit (OEM)
GTX 760 Ti (OEM): GTX 660ti.
GTX 730 128bit: GT430 128bit.
The worst part was, you could have picked different architecture, just cause the point of the rebrand was exactly to confuse you...
