AMD Radeon RX 480 is currently the talk of the town for all the good reasons, until now. Reviewers have noticed the power consumption of the new card is very awkward as it tends to draw more power from the PCI Express slot than its 6 pin power connector. But how does this affect you? Badly.
The Pokemon Company had retail sales worth of 10.8 billion US Dollars in the year 2023, based on the latest report.

ridiculous the numbers they pull in, which makes it even worse when i think about the low budget broken games they make. or have made recently
Bitmap Bureau has announced its plans to release Xeno Crisis to the Game Boy Advance in both physical and digital form.

Wow. I'm waiting anyway (for the price gauging to stop on the 1080's or the release of the 490) so this doesn't affect me. I did think about a purchase though lol. I will wait longer.
Ummm.... " In the worst case scenario the motherboard would switch off. However with our Asus Z170-Deluxe in the test system, the Radeon RX 480 ran smoothly, and also with our MSI Z97 Gaming 3 there were no abnormalities. Nevertheless, the overload can theoretically lead to reboots or even damage, especially with overclocking."
So basically they are freaking out about a possibility that hasn't taken place yet.
From AMD “We have extensive testing internally on our PCIE compliance and RX480 passed our testing. However we have received feedback from some of the reviewers on high current observed on PCIE in some cases. We are looking into these scenarios as we speak and reproduce these scenarios internally. Our engineering team is fully engaged.”
Seems a bit like Chicken Little is running around claiming the sky is falling once again.
This is how short sellers cover their ass when the stock is set to go up with quarterly report and release near.
