GIGABYTE Launches Radeon RX 6700 XT AORUS Elite Graphics Card
GIGABYTE TECHNOLOGY Co. Ltd, a leading manufacturer of premium gaming hardware, today announced new AMD Radeon RX 6700 XT graphics card - AORUS Radeon RX 6700 XT ELITE 12G, powered by AMD RDNA2 gaming architecture. Inheriting the last-gen RGB three-ring design and light effect, the light source guides light internally so that it creates a brighter and natural RGB light effect. Thereby achieving a wonderful balance between cooling and RGB lights.
AORUS Radeon RX 6700 XT ELITE not only keeps the design spirit of the last-gen, but also has a distinct product recognition in the hardware industry, perfectly expressing the art of gaming, and once again remixes the classic style. Furthermore, gamers have more DOF (degree of freedom) to mix unique RGB lights, customizing with up to 8 kinds of color patterns on the "Dazzling" light effect via RGB Fusion 2.0 software.
AORUS Radeon RX 6700 XT ELITE adopts the GIGABYTE WINDFORCE 3X cooling system, features three unique blade fans, alternate spinning, composite copper heat pipes in direct contact with the GPU, 3D active fans and Screen cooling that work together to provide efficient heat dissipation. These cooling technologies keep the graphics card running at a low, resulting in higher and more stable performance. The middle fan spins in reverse to optimize airflow for heat dissipation, enabling more efficient performance. Screen cooling extends the heatsink to allow air flow to pass through, providing better heat dissipation, and avoids the heat accumulation.
AORUS graphics cards stand for premium quality. It utilizes the graphene nano-lubricant, which can extend fan life by 2.1 times, delivering nearly the lifespan of the double ball bearing systems while providing quiet operation. AORUS graphics cards use a multi-phase power supply design to allow the MOSFET to operate at lower temperature with over-temperature protection design and load balancing for each MOSFET, plus Ultra Durable certified chokes and capacitors to provide excellent performance and longer system life. The metal back plate not only strengthens the overall structure of the graphics card, but also prevents the PCB from bending or sustaining damage. The power indicator will alert gamers by flashing light when experiencing any power supply abnormality.
AORUS upholds product quality to the highest standards and provides customers with a 4-year product warranty (online registration required within 30 days of purchase) so that customers can enjoy the ultimate gaming excitement with peace of mind.

I have gigabyte motherboard, and yes, their RGB fusion software is atrocious. The newest version consumes too much RAM I decided to stay with the old version just for the sake of changing color theme once in a while.
Next time I build PC I won't care about RGB component at all. Just magnetic non addressable RGB strip for interior lighting will do just fine.
In terms of RGB control software, I think Logitech is the only company that nails it with their Gaming Software (not G-Hub), it's light, easy to use, no account needed, the best user experience imo.
Regardless, this RGB implementation looks so cheap.
And I agree Giga's RGB Fusion software blows the hardest out of all the board makers RGB software. MSI's isn't far behind, mainly because you need to also install their Dragon Center bloatware in order to use Mystic Light. I'm running Asrock's Polychrome Sync and, while it could definitely be better, it's not total garbage. The stand alone Asus Aura (not Armoury Crate) software is still tops in my book though. Loved how I could change each individual LED in my ram sticks, rather than change the whole stick to one color.
Razer's is also decent, if only it didn't require an account.Totally agree with you
Explain to me whats bloated about icue? The massive amount of lighting macros a problem? The fact that its a monitoring software as well? Or how about that you control all your keyboard and mouse macros along with DPI from it??????
It must be the thousands upon thousands of custom lighting commands that exist that you have an issue with. I hear ya, why have a graphic calculator when you can have a basic one with only 10 buttons???
It's not a matter of affording it, literally everyone can. It's a matter of "why the hell do I even need this in the first place? why not standardize RGB?" but you keep missing the point.

Beyond that, it sounds like you half-assed your attempt at rgb, it looks like crap, and now youre blaming the hardware/software instead of your lack of sound planning and wise decision making.
When did I say Rainbow was the only thing people used? Stop putting words in my mouth. It was only my opinion towards such "gamer" builds.
Once again, talk to me when you need no adapters. That's the point I'm trying to make, and the point you keep ignoring -- if everything was plug and play, no adapters required, and controlled by a single software, then RGB would actually be compelling for once.
What's wrong with the idea of standardized RGB, where you need no adapters or 30 different species of bloatware in order to control it? iCUE is not enough, and needs work. OpenRGB looks good, but that also needs work.
Rainbow was your example as why not to use lights not mine. Why would I use a single color profile as an example when everyone that actually understands how RGB works knows there are millions of colors available? Youre trying to create a fake narrative using 'rainbow' and 'gamer' to justify your non-existent point.
There is an option, its called using Corsair's RGB products. If you do not want to spend the money for the convenience then you resign yourself to the hell of confusion that you are complaining about. I, myself, do not worry about the issue you take umbrage with; my mobo, ram, fans, led strips, amd prism cooler, mouse, keyboard all show up on icue (one software application). Its great, worry free, more customizable then I'll ever need, and I only need one piece of software to run it all :).
There is also zero reason for any of these companies to create an open standard for RGB and its connections. Theyre trying to make money, not friends.
Can we get back on topic now? Tired of threads derailing into pointless arguments, experiencing it daily on this site. Feel free to talk to hm, nobody, I won't waste my time with this anymore.

This GPU doesn't strike my fancy, there are better looking cards, even Gigabyte cards, with or without RGB. Not like it exists anyway. You'll be lucky if Gigabyte sends you a paper cutout of a GPU.
Let's be clear, it's not only Corsair that does this. Asus is another prime example. And both companies are no doubt the worst offenders as far as the whole "walled garden" is concerned. Asus, however, would get my money before Corsair (and I say this as an owner of a Corsair AIO and a Commander PRO) for the simple fact that Aura is no where near as bloated as iCUE.
