2PM CET

Wow, 2PM? Wait, what is CET? Central European Time? That's like 6 hours ahead of me so 8 AM EST.

 

[Krteq]

Yep Central European Time

NDA should lift today, 7th February at 2PM CET, so yep - 8AM EST for you

 

[Thrashard]

I thought it was soon in early AM. I believe the Division 2 Game Demo kicked off at 1am, but not sure what Time Zone. Guess I'll wake up to some reviews popping up

 

[Krteq]

Division 2 Demo codes became online on 6th February at 6PM CET, I received invi yesterday at that time.

Anyway, these 2 events are NOT related

Apparently some youtuber got ahold of an early card that was accidentally sold on Newegg for a few minutes on the 6th. An XFX Radeon VII. Its advertised clocks are way off from what AMD advertised for a reference card, though. Currently Newegg has the card listed as $599 and out of stock.

 

[happy medium]

It's 2/7/2019, 4:06 AM EST, and no Radeon VII anywhere. Even Overclockers UK which has 76 units in stock hasn't put them up on their store page yet. When is the NDA lifting? Anyone know? Should be sometime today.

930 est.

930 est.

@Krteq says one thing and you say another . . . I guess we'll find out soon enough.

 

[LTC8K6]

They go live 2pm Thursday!

Gibbo - Overclockers UK

 

[LTC8K6]

Quick question Gibbo, how much will the ASUS version of the card cost?

£799

​

 

[LTC8K6]

Are there going to be any Water cooled Radeon VII's? Or are they all on air for the time being? Would be nice if they did a proper WC version like the Fury X & V64.

Nope, just reference cards.

 

[DrMrLordX]

Well it's 2:03 CET right now, but no reviews have come up and nobody is selling the card that I can tell. Someone's hammering Newegg. They're getting kinda slow.

XFX version $599 but out of stock

XFX version $599 but out of stock

That listing has been up for a while, though.

 

[DrMrLordX]

@CU yeah I've been eyeing that one for awhile. Apparently Newegg sold some inventory yesterday before going out of stock. At least one youtuber claims to have a card on its way to him already.

I'm thinking that the 2PM CET embargo lift time was wrong, and that it may be 2PM UTC/GMT which is why the reviews haven't come up yet. We're still a half-hour out.

Yes, that looks correct.

 

[zinfamous]

These embargos usually lift at 9 or 10am American Freedom Time, so we'll probably see by then.

OC attempt from der8auer

OC attempt from der8auer

If this is true, and AMD missed the opportunity to let reviewers overclock the card to 2GHz+... it's a fail of Fury proportions.

 

[DrMrLordX]

No cards yet, but reviews are hitting. bit-tech:

In fact here's a whole roundup of reviews to avoid having to post them individually:

Here's TechRadar that isn't listed in the roundup:

AMD has replaced their Radeon VII page with a post-embargo page. No more "notify me of availability" button available. I never got a notification email, sadly. No link to vendors.

 

[n0x1ous]

Newegg has the Sapphire and AMD.com order is available. Snagged one from AMD.com

 

[CU]

Anandtech's review is up.
