AMD Confusing/Misleading Customers Again (570 Rebrand)

8 minutes ago, Jurrunio said:The first time AMD did this was with the Chinese-only RX 470D, with 1792 stream processors rather than the 470's 2048. Maybe that's what encouraged AMD to release more nerfed cards, like the 560D and this seemingly 580D, but why would they release a new 590 then? It's the exact the same item as what they already have, unlike the 470D and 560D which are different (minor, but something).
Wrong. The first time *I* got screwed over by AMD (though they were ATi at that point) and their loosey-goosey "guidelines" with respect to the branding of their GPUs was on a Radeon 9600. This appears to be a particularly egregious example of this behavior, but this bullshit has been happening for years and will likely never stop.
