XFX Radeon RX 480 Pictured on its Production Line

It does'nt need to be bigger since it's having an 150W TDP.

I was thinking in terms of overclocking.

This year before the launch, I saw renders, smuggled pictures, inhouse conveyer belt pictures....come on leave a bit to the imagination Next launch I expect first molding samples of the shroud.

Is this really where the cards come from? I can see almost a dozen cards there adding up to 60 TFLOPS of computing power, but look at how cheap and badly maintained the factory is!

Anyways, I'm looking forward to custom versions. Hopefully, there will hopefully be a custom PCB version with 2 6-pin connectors (or single 8-pin) OC-able to 1700 MHz (I know that's too high, but at least 1500...) which costs below $270.

Maybe because I haven't been looking that much but it does seem odd to me that all the attention pretty much is focused on this tier of 480 cards and it's been a while since 490/top end cards have even been mentioned...Granted similar story for the 1080 by Nvidia but the difference is even though that isn't the biggest chip for team Green it is the biggest performer out there right now and this card will not match it...so it just seems to me odd the 490 seems to have taken a backseat unless there just is no new news or simply because this launch is now imminent.
