The Hawaii graphics card is just about ready to ship

AMD will only release the Hawaii-based flagship graphics adapter either tomorrow (Thursday, October 24) or Friday (October 25), but the product has already been seen in the wild.

In fact, not only has the board been spotted by VideoCardz, but some press shots of OEM boards made their way to the web too.

Below you'll see the official pictures of the adapters from Sapphire, Club 3D and Gigabyte, as well as the in-store shot of the Sapphire box, provided by a Swedish e-tailer.

Sapphire and Gigabyte both include Origin keys to Battlefield 4 (standard edition).

AMD wants to introduce people to Mantle after all, and BF4 is supposed to be a trial game of sorts for the API. It's actually strange that Club3D isn't in on the action.

Apparently, some of the cards have minor factory overclocks. The reference design is left alone though.
