12 (!) years ago, we tested the first gaming GPU with 8 GB memory — the limited edition 290X Tri-X 8 GB from @SapphireTech. At first, @AMD tried to stop it, but eventually gave the go-ahead. Here’s our review from 2014: computerbase.de/artikel/grafik… And now: 8 GB, please retire!

@ComputerBase @SapphireTech @AMD Peak looking design, I remember it launching and I was in awe of the 8 gb of vram lmao

@ComputerBase @SapphireTech @AMD @EdCrisler Do you have a story about that launch?
