GALAX Teases New Graphics Card Series: Work The Frames
GALAX via its Virtual Online Expo has revealed a new graphics card series coming to customers. The new Work The Frames (WTF) cards will no longer bring the HOF series' signature white looks, but instead seems to be more about that RGB bling. The tease is just a render at this point, though - your guess is as good as ours as to when these will be available in the market - and even then, and at what supply levels. The renders currently lack any power connectors - so we shouldn't look too hard into the absence of any NVLink fingers either. Following GALAX's usual business decisions, it seems likely that the Work the Frames family will be available in GA102 flavors.
The cooler shroud seems to be all black with RGB accents throughout the heatsink, backplate and even at the card's rear. It's a triple-fan solution seemingly coming in at around 2.2-slot thickness. Check the graphics card for yourself by following the source link and entering the appropriate GALAX Expo room.

No but seriously, do people really want cards that look like decorated Christmas trees that bad ? Am I that out of touch with the PC gaming industry ?
Burn the hardware branding industry as a whole for all I care.
That is basically my only problem with Sapphire Pulse cards for example, they have fixed red color logo only and I almost never use red in my PC so ye. 'not a dealbreaker but still'
What bothers me the most is those 'cringy' gamer texts like step up your game, team up fight on and whatever else I saw on certain cards.:wtf:
This card in question, nope I don't like it.
(If anyone made a cooler like this, I'd choose it over everything else without question)
Function over form; Give me good material quality and clean design, not plastic bling, twinkly lights and airflow-blocking branding placards. And credit for AMD for getting it almost right with the Radeon VII's cooler and then ruining it with a big red lego cube on the corner and "RADEON" branding blocking all the airflow in the most critical location of the fin-stack possible.
Actually, if my photoshop efforts had been a bit better, I'd rather anodise the whole thing dark grey or black and move the two 8-pins to the end and have the fin-stack exhaust along the whole long-edge of the card. It would also look amazeballs, but it wouldn't matter because it's about function, not form.
holy moly
