This is the new cooler AMD will use. I like it.

Looks nice , guess they are going to slowly tease us for the next month and a half ?

Looks like fins the entire length of the card. Wait wheres the bracket?

i don't think there is a video card in it. Just the heatsink / fans and back shroud

 

[xEx]

Isn't that just a render?

 

[Subtlesnake]

So, 2 x 8 pin power connectors?

You expected less?

Looks pretty decent. Can't tell how the heat pipes and contact is laid out but the triple fan design is always good for cooling.

Ports on the card: 1x HDMI + 2x DP + USB-C

You know AMD's coming strong when their cards looking great. 9700pro/9800XT was great looking for their times.

A lot of the rumours have been pointing to a 275W-300W card, and with a 50% performance per watt improvement you could get 2 x 5700 XT in 300W. So I guess it's good news, assuming AMD hit their efficiency targets.

Looks damn nice, both NV and AMD's next gen GPU designs look very durable and robust. Hope for very compettive GPUs from the red team.

Looking good. This is way better than silly tweets!

I still have the 9700pro, still works.

So it's a tweaked Vega 7 cooler?:

Loud too? >54dB in that test, 9dB louder than NVidia cards consuming ~30W less power. Battlefield 1 results versus RTX 2080:

• system power 423 v 386W
• 54.4 v 45.0dB
• 81.1 v 77.2 fps at 3840x2160

Not sure how power usage and fps of old cards are relevant to an unreleased new card?

 

[Leoneazzurro5]

Fans are bigger, blades are quite larger, too, performance we don't know.

The VII cooler was mostly problematic cause the contact was bad, probably because the HBM, new card hopefully doesn't have those issues.

As long as tweaked means it actually does the job.

 

[NightAntilli]

It looks like a decent cooler this time. That's a good start.

Isn’t that a 100% improvement ?
