Why?

 

He already did R9 290X reference AND gigabyte Windforce. The only thing the Vapor-x has going for it is the vapor chamber and that's not earthshattering. 

RIG: I7-4790k @ 4.5GHz | MSI Z97S SLI Plus | 12GB Geil Dragon RAM 1333MHz | Gigabyte G1 Gaming GTX 970 (1550MHz core/7800MHz memory) @ +18mV(Maxed out at 1650/7800 so far) | Corsair RM750 | Samsung 840 EVO 120GB, 1TB Seagate Barracuda | Fractal Design Arc Midi R2 (Closed) | Sound Blaster Z                                                                                                                        Getting: Noctua NH-D15 | Possible 250GB Samsung 850 Evo                                                                                        Need a console killer that actually shits on every console? Here you go (No MIR/Promo)

This is why you should not get an FX CPU for ANY scenario other than rendering on a budget http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/286142-fx-8350-r9-290-psu-requirements/?p=3892901 | http://linustechtips.com/main/topic/266481-an-issue-with-people-bashing-the-fx-cpus/?p=3620861

Nope, not happening... It's not a new card, so he won't do it... And why would we even need review of it this late O.o You can find hundreds of reviews online of it, so it would be pretty stupid of him to do it...

Sorry buddy, I see no reason for Linus to review a very similar product to what he's already reviewed. It doesn't make sense to do so.

ON A 7 MONTH BREAK FROM THESE LTT FORUMS. WILL BE BACK ON NOVEMBER 5th.

Actually this statement is false as Linus mentioned they may be doing reviews of old products in the future.  Now is this card the OP is asking to be reviewed old enough?  Uh I doubt it 100%.

Too many ****ing games!  Back log 4 life! :S

I remember wanting one of those so badly in 2006, especially after seeing the demo of Cell Factor.

Why the i5 over the FX-8350?
