ASUS ROG Strix LC Radeon RX 6800 XT Pictured
As if on cue, AMD add-in board partners have started teasing their upcoming custom-design Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards, which AMD claims are competitive with NVIDIA's fastest. Here's the first picture of the ROG Strix LC Radeon RX 6800 XT by ASUS, featuring a refreshing new board design that uses an AIO liquid cooler too cool the GPU, while other hot components such as the memory and VRM are cooled by heatsinks that are ventilated by a lateral blower. The GPU AIO cooler uses what looks like a 240 mm x 120 mm radiator. Both the cooler shroud and the radiator fans come with RGB embellishments.
Update 14:38 UTC: We also have pictures, courtesy of DonanimHaber, of the TUF Gaming RX 6800 XT OC, and air-cooled ROG Strix RX 6800 XT, which looks a lot like the ROG Strix series cards based on the NVIDIA RTX 30-series.

edit: silicon lottery being equal, you'll be able to push a strix card farther due to the pcb/cooler/higher power limits.
No matter what my next card will be though its getting a full cover water block.
I have full water loop with Radeon VII and Ryzen 3700X in it.
If performance is as good as shown by AMD in slides, then 6800XT most probably will replace Radeon VII. :p
But in Mainboards, I have not used any other brand than ASUS in the last 10 years.
I currently own Asus ROG Crosshair VIII Hero (WI-FI) since over a year and no problem with it.
