JayzTwoCents showing off the real designs of the new Radeon cards

[Ninja_Commander]

The newest video that Jay just posted and shows off the Radeon cards, yes CARDS, and how they are looking just a bit underwhelming. If not like NVidia cards. But your thoughts on this video and would it impact looks and performance.

Compared to anything AMD has out out the last decade in terms of reference coolers it actually looks fine. 

 

Which is a step in the right direction.

Doesnt touch on the most interesting part of the card. The rear of it. He said we havent seen the rear, but the render in fortnite does. 

And its got the Vega style mounting system indicative of HBM. 

 

Assuming there is no major design flaw with the cooler, ive got no gripes with it.

I just watched this. His AMD/Epic tinfoil hat theory was hilarious. Farther than my tinfoil hat theory went (them getting a kickback from Epic).

inb4 their first driver update on launch day including the Epic Game Store as part of the download.

IMO, their previous reference designs were elegant and aesthetically pleasing, if not terribly inefficient at cooling.

 

 

Simple and sleek, IMO.

 

New one looks like a cheap Go-Bot ripoff

As a owner of a reference rx480, I wholly agree. Only like half is heat sync, the rest is open air.
