So AMD has pulled absolutely genius marketing stunt /s

So I decided to download Fortnite, but to my phone and see how it runs and check out AMD's garbage marketing.

So the game is 10GB which is pretty huge and you have to first download the Epic Launcher, with which you download a small Fortnite APK which then downloads the rest of the game.
Going into a custom game is quite messy as there is no button for it in the main menu, so good job AMD for making an ad that people won't see.

I gotta say props to Epic on their technical achievement. The game has features parity across all platforms and cross platform multiplayer and great networking. Many of the things that made Fortnite possible got pushed to Unreal Engine which helps out other developers.
The game runs ok although it is quite demanding as on my S10e on high the framerate dropped to 30s even on an empty map as you can see in the video. I kinda doubt there's a phone that can push 60 on ultra.

@matrix could you take a nicer shot of the ports? I can see one type-c and one DP but other two are hard to see.

I assume the weird sockets are where coolers are connected. I wonder about PCIe power sockets, too, supposedly it's 2x 8pin
@pony @matrix they don't seem to post the specs, just the looks. I guess using sketchfab isn't normie-friendly enough.
I thought the whole point of using USB-C as a display output was to fit more ports on the IO plate, but it has the same number of ports as the 5700XT. I guess add a USB-C adapter to your order.
@matrix By the time Valve releases a headset with USB-C I won't even remember this card.
