With the launch of AMD's Radeon 5700 Series of gaming graphics cards nearing, there is an increasing amount of leaks regarding the cards' performance. But this time we have something a little different. Reference models of RX 5700 series and their packaging have been revealed by Twitter user momomo_us.
In this Imgur album, the reference design of Radeon RX 5700 cards along with the the retail boxes of various manufacturers like ASUS, AsRock, Yeston, Sapphire, Dataland, PowerColor and XFX, have been pictured.

A dent? It looks broken before its release.
Also, blower style? No thanks.
Its gonna be 2070S or 2080S for me this year.
Blower style will outperform in certain case...
Looked clean and Sexy...
BTW: NV designs looked like a copy of XFX old designed...
AMD hasn't changed their blower design for almost 15 years, why is there no effort to inovate? Do something different.
At least nVidia tries to mix up the design a little once in a while and looking at how cool the RTX Super cards stay under heavy load, i'd say they are doing a pretty good job at the r&d department.
Meh, not that it matters really but they aren't exactly worlds apart. They have a vapor chamber, metal shroud, same as Nvidia reference blowers what's there to innovate ?
www.guru3d.com/news-story/sapphire-registers-radeon-rx-55005550-560058005850-and-5900-xt-graphic-cards.html Who cares about reference models? Nearly nobody buys those. And if it looks broken but it's not, what happens? :O Your 2070S and 2080S are still expensive AF.
RX Vega 64 Liquid cooling edition says hello
For those who missed it - Raja's 1 minute of fame
Basically, they know most enthusiasts prefer axial coolers and know how to cool a PC , but not everyone does, and with a blower they can guarantee performance in any case, plus AIB models are coming soon.
Despite claims to the contrary, neither AMD nor nVidia give two fucks about the gamers who optimize things like airflow etc., they/we are not the target consumer, the average Jane/Joe are the target consumers and they pay the majority of the bills.
( in the Linux environment ) and therefore are my go to choice. As we've
recently seen, older nVidia cards tend to lose support and when that happens
you have a paper weight. Realistically, under these circumstances, AMD
becomes the first choice even when it isn't the superior solution. But then again,
+/- 10% on a card that has proper support is not really going to make THAT
much difference ...except to actual competition gamers.
But that 5700XT I think looks way better, just pure looks, I like the monolith straight black, I like the lines, and I like the "dent" as people here seem to like to call it, it breaks up the line, its odd and playful and just says design.
Like a Nighthawk stealth plane. If there was actual progress, aka cars continually requiring LESS power instead of more, a blower would be fine.
Sadly this is not the case, more performance but also at the cost of more power usage.
