How to get AMD reference Card???

Pakonater · Mar 7, 2014

Hi I run a computer business and a client of mine has asked for an AMD Reference Card (one which has the AMD sticker on the blower). Where can I get one of these???

Note I know non reference have better cooling but I have been offered a fairly large amount of money for the card.

If retail shops don't have one, ebay would be your best bet.

Reference designs are widely available the only thing different is the sticker on the fan hub.

I need a skicker on the fan hub because he dosent want one from a 3rd party company eg.(MSI,Gigabyte and ASUS)

AMD/ATI stopped selling boards (other than firepro) directly many years ago, you can only get AMD and nVidia consumer graphics cards from AIB partners

Sell them a firepro or something. One of these: http://pcpartpicker.com/part/ati-video-card-100505682

Likely the wrong card for what they want to do, but if they've got their head stuck in the sand they can pay for it.

It's that or find a leaked review card on ebay or something.

EDIT: That's actually an ATI one. AMD ones are newer.

It seems like the only difference is the sticker on the fan. Can you buy a sticker off eBay and remove the other branded sticker with an AMD one? I'm not sure of the dimensions but it might work.

Just tell him whats up. Say that they don't put the sticker on the fan hub anymore and amd doesn't sell gpus directly anymore. If he thinks your lieing just cut the contract with him and be done.
