I think you might have to wait until people actually get the card (There probably will be one from the looks of it)

 

[dagget3450]

Many owners threads started right before launch. I am just surprised no one has done it yet for polaris being 5 days away.

It would make sense though for an owner's thread to start when someone actually owns the card

[cscheat]

[tweezlednutball]

[cscheat]

Did i miss something? Its already released????

 

[cscheat]

I need some help here

My PC doesn't have DVD rom... Cannot install the driver that come with the box...

Any advice???

 

[cscheat]

Auto detect wont work too !

 

[dagget3450]

The dvd is probably only option right now. They haven't launched official drivers that i know of. Damn, im going to stop by a few stores in my area and see if they accidentally put some out for purchase.

 

[cscheat]

Damn it !!!

 

[dagget3450]

I stopped by my local best buy and nothing. Asked dude at counter of geek squad desk he didn't even know what i was talking about. He did know about AMD's stock going down and waiting to see if they were bought out. Heh...

It was funny to see reaction like AMD was a disease you get from someone just being near. Ebola AMD edition i guess.

You'll probably still need the 16.6.2 drivers however, and i think thye only gave them to the press.
