Nice! This brings back a lot of memories especially for us 90s kids. Maybe when money allows I can finally upgrade our HTPC out of the Bitfenix Prodigy to this. I like the colour scheme but I think black will be my first choice, if they release it in black.

There are enough people invested in this franchise that they could ask $100+ for the game and the people will pay it. If the game is well made and doesn't disappoint then why not. Nonetheless, we've seen enough AAA titles not deliver the promised goods, so I say, not for me, but maybe yes for...

This is a nice case. I have the Evolve X and I managed to cram two thick rads, and a 2080 Hydro copper inside. I just might upgrade. That 2080 Hydro Copper is a massive card and wouldn't fit when placed horizontally so I used a Phanteks rise for it. Edit: Looking at this case on Phanteks...

This is excellent news. Let's see what the reviews show. I'm still rocking my EVGA 2080 Hydro copper and I haven't seen any reason to upgrade. Maybe this is it? Time will tell.

They're going to be extinct just like their namesake.

The increase in prices for the last two generations was absurd and set the stage for the ridiculous prices that we see right now. €1500 translates to CAD $2300. No way, I'll ever pay that much for a board and then add a $600 CPU. This is madness!! I'll stick to my X99 Mpower with my 6850K OC...

Great work W1z AMD delivered what they promised. The performance compared to RTX 3080 is impressive despite the noisy cooler. The price is also better in Canadian pesos. It makes my decision a but harder since I don't need RT but do like the idea and what it does for the games that support it...

No pressure W1zzard. Take your time and provide us with your best. On a side note, I am excited to see what RDNA2 has to offer, after your review of course. Tomorrow, I'll be making a decision between 6800XT and 3080.

Nice review as usual. Interesting card but I can't make up my mind between 3080 and 3070. Canada Computers has stock but I am a bit hesitant because of what AMD has coming for us. Healthy competition ftw.

For reals? That'll be insane I'd they don't have AIBs involved. Imagine the amount of money they'll make when(if) the review backup their performance claims.

I've always bought acetal blocks for both CPU and GPU, so this design bodes well for me. Good job EK and I am sure they'll make RGB stuff for those that want everything RGB.

I'll wait and see what retailers and AIB charge for it before I call it awesome, but the competition is healthy and welcomed. On a side note, I have to put my 290X back in my system, I'm a my 1080 and wait until Dec unless the RTX 3080 stock issue somehow improves.

I've been holding out for a chromax edition of A12x25 and so far nothing. At one point they had the chromax A12x25 on their fan page and then removed it. I am still rocking my original NF-P12 3-pin fans from 2012.

ASUS should have made this card single slot like the Fury X. Why go through the troubles of making a custom PCB then turn around and limit the power of the GPU and then make it double slot wide? I would have rather seen 2 DPI, 1 HMDI and 1 DVI heck even one of each would have been nice just to...

I can't wait for this board. I will be stepping up from my current G1 WIFI Black.
