Why am I seeing this Ranked on source trust — TechPowerUp
It ranks mainly on source trust: TechPowerUp is the most reliable outlet we track on this subject, and is the only one on the story so far.
Single-sourced. No second organisation has confirmed it yet.
Link-outLink-out, because only one organisation carries it and no first-party source is on it. Link-out means we point at the publisher and say nothing of our own.

Corroboration counts distinct organisations, once each, and only from tiers 1 and 2. Freshness halves every 10 hours, so this ranking is a snapshot and will differ at the next build.
What happened
X user GOK has shared photos of a huge red graphics card that carries four Polaris GPUs on a single PCB, jokingly asking whether it might be the biggest PCIe graphics card in the world. The four GPUs sit in a 2x2 layout, and each one appears to be surrounded by eight GDDR5 memory chips, which would mean 8 GB per GPU and a gigantic 32 GB across the board. According to GOK, a sticker on the card identifies it as a quad RX 470, which would work out to 8,192 stream processors in total. Feeding all of that are four 8-pin power connectors, while the only display output is a single HDMI port. A second photo shows the card lying next to a motherboard, and it's noticeably bigger than the board itself.
