AMD pulls hysterical Cape Verde marketing stunt.

Reviewers who have probably received their AMD Radeon HD 7700 series samples by now, were taken aback when they found a prescription medication bottle in their packages. No NVIDIA-styled Press Deck booklet, or even former-ATI styled Ruby doll, but a medicine bottle, which reads "Verdetrol". The label directed them to insert the blue capsules inside it to the heat vents of the graphics card, when benchmarking, so it "acts as a performance enhancement".

The point in all this? Apparently AMD's Radeon HD 7770 features 1 GHz core clock speed out of the box, making it the first GPU ever to do so, and AMD wants to make a song and dance about it. What's more, AMD will use a special branding called "GHz Edition" to mark all its future SKUs that come with 1 GHz (or more) GPU core clock speed, indicating that AMD has more SKUs in the pipeline with ≥1 GHz core clock speed. It doesn't stop with this hysterical medicine bottle thingie, no sir, AMD even set up ateaser site dedicated to "Verdetrol".

LMFAO!!! Brilliant work done by AMD xD and Incase you guys were wondering..Verde means Green in Spanish and Portugese...So the "Pills" are actually called Green Troll...LOL
 
Joker, I think it has more to do with the GPU code name. But it would be cool if they thought of Verdetrol as Green troll, lol.

Considering how Nvidia has been trolling them, this was a great response.
