They might be showing 980 Ti models @ Computex, so use those designs and pretend it's an AMD board underneath.its less about what they look like and more about the cooling solutions (noise, heat)
Yeah no kidding, it's at least... 10 feet long.I thought it was supposed to be a smaller card
The sign, with playback system designed and managed by Diversified Media Group, is a single surface covering a city block in length and stands eight stories high. Driving the visual display are three AMD FirePro professional graphics cards using AMD Eyefinity Technology, with each card powering six sections of the display for a combined resolution of 10,048 x 2,368 pixels. The individual display sections are synchronized across graphics cards and zones using the FirePro™ S400 synchronization module.
8 stories, sweet jesus.
We need a better picture.
Im sure apple will point out that it's not retina

Either AMD is being very wasteful with their scarce resources, or they are very confident about something we don't know about yet.
Right now, I wouldn't quite say they are processing any kind of revolution...
They are building a brand name from the looks of it. A very smart move on their part.
After all brand names (Apple, Rolex, Ferrari) are what sell a product.
Hard to tell from the picture that it's actually a giant screen.Does everyone really think that billboard only has 1 image of a video card? I would expect it to scroll other adds.

I see a lot of people who didn't read the press release before they started ranting.
Think about the demographic, though. Rolex, Ferrari, Apple - luxury products - and the average person is going to see a billboard and associate success with money, and both of those to luxury products which they can hope to acquire and show off to friends to demonstrate success and money.
Video cards don't work like that. Technical specifications and software support sell video cards. AMD putting a gigantic billboard in Times Square sells to what demographic, exactly? Who are they going to sway by doing that? Average Joe computer user? No, he has a Dell or a Macbook. Moderate enthusiast? Show me the money ( specs and driver support )
You know what AMD should have done to get additional, positive exposure for the brand? Release a Crossfire driver that worked for Witcher 3 and - also - release information on Fiji XT prior to computex to undercut Nvidia if it's really a Titan X killer.
A giant billboard? Who cares. This is like John Romero going to make us all his bitch and then, failing miserably.
Dude you don't build a brand in a day. And judging from your post some people will never be convinced a certain brand is any good
jeez people.
Someone paid them to built it, they arent using themselves.
Its owned by someone else who rents it out for advertizing.

From the looks of it the AMD cards running it are the only AMD thing about the billboard.
AMD has done the bare minimum to keep my business. I've spent thousands on AMD products. Brand building for a graphics card company isn't done on a billboard, it's done through execution - something AMD has continually failed on.
What's the pixel count on this beast?its Ultra HD, the jumbotrons at your local stadium are not even close.
I don't know about that... from all the recent things I have been looking at, aside from drivers being released in a timely manner, AMD has been getting better.
The company as a whole has been in a transitioning stage for some time now, when AMD does find it's footing we will get the competition we need in the PC industry.

if it's a gameworks game, then CF driver will be available after a few months or never
