XFX Radeon RX 5700 XT THICC II Graphics Card Pictured
We're willing to bet that whoever came up with the name "Fatboy" for a 3-slot thick RX 590 graphics card at XFX, is also behind the new Radeon RX 5700 XT THICC II. This 3-slot "thick" RX 5700 XT is characterized by a symmetric combination of cooler shroud and back-plate, which fuse at the card's tail end into a chrome grille, which probably explains the name THICC (a slang for people voluptuous below the waist). Under all this, the card uses a custom-design PCB that's somewhat similar to the reference-design, with minor modifications near the power inputs (upside down connectors to help with clearance with the tall cooler), and the use of conventional cylindrical capacitors.
A pair of 100 mm fans ventilate a large aluminium fin-stack heatsink underneath the shroud. The card probably features idle fan-stop. The heatsink consists of two aluminium fin-stacks arranged along the ends of a few copper heat pipes that make direct contact with the GPU. The clock-speeds of this card are not known, since the box doesn't appear to have any "OC" markings. Like most other AMD add-in board (AIB) partners, XFX is expected to launch the Radeon RX 5700 XT THICC II and its other cost-effective sibling some time mid-August.

I was wondering where I have seen this before.
Tbf the names are stupid, i guess XFX hired a kid...Looks better on the card
Crossfire/SLi are DX11 only and proverbally dead due to abandonment. DX12 has mgpu but no one seems to use it.
Ghetto PCIE extender cables it is again then... At least they are back to being cheap.
BTW, welcome to TPU!
Sad really, really wish they could bring it back, hey maybe they will with these cards ?, i guess we will have to see.
One glimpse at that card and booom the FERRARI 250-GT!!
