PowerColor Shows Off the Radeon RX 7900 Red Devil on Social Media
Although we're only some three weeks away from the launch of AMD's Radeon RX 7000-series cards, it has been pretty quiet from its partners. That said, PowerColor has finally revealed more than just a tiny detail of its upcoming Radeon RX 7900 Red Devil via a post on Facebook. The company didn't reveal any specs and it's unclear if this will be an RX 7900 XT or an RX 7900 XTX based card.
What we can see from the picture is that it's a triple-slot card with air being vented out the rear, something AMD's reference cards don't do. It's obviously a triple-fan card and PowerColor has equipped it with some LED lights as one would expect. Not much else is revealed by the single picture of the card, due to the angle the card sits at, so we don't know what kind of ports to expect, or what kind of power connectors the card will have. Hopefully PowerColor will reveal more details before the official launch on the 13th of December.

Maybe we should do a poll, then send the responses to PowerColor, since it hasn't been officially released yet, they could still change the name. Yea I know da Utuberz would cry foul like the wimpz they are, but f'em anyways hahahaha....:)
As for the guy bitching about the name of a product, thanks for the entertainment, and don't worry about the "Satanic" name of your graphics card that is assembled in Communist China by virtual slaves who get sent to a "re-education camp" if they are caught practising Religion, I am sure that they really care about the name on the card. There are a great many things in this World that are far more important to complain about than the literal name of a product.! Also, please don't reply, this is political/religious enough already (and boring), and I don't want to be accused of escalation or going OT.
So back to the product in question, the "Red Devil" cards have all been excellent performers so far, hopefully this card will be a worthy successor. However several of the AIB cards are reported to be using modified 4090 coolers, so massive overkill. If this is true, it explains the 4-slot design, but should also be an exceptional product in terms of cooling / noise.
Only a few weeks to wait for reviews, and I will be reading/watching some of them, with the 7900XTX Red Devil being to card I have the highest expectations for, but wont be buying, why, because I am not spending that amount of money on a Graphics card... As the "high end" has risen to insane price levels over the last few years, I will be looking to buy a "mid range" card, or perhaps skip this generation of cards, or a half generation and look at the 7x50 lineup which is likely to bring a good performance bump at the same price, or with a minimal increase.
So, I guess the cheapest option is also the lowest quality option?
These look really nice. I'm waiting for the new AMD cards but I doubt I will take one home with me. 6900xt is still plenty capable. Maybe later on at some point when the 7000 series GPUs drop in price or something.
It floats, too. When they reuse it for the 4090, it'll allow you to attach a sail and cross the ocean.
They can introduce a new card: Powercolor RX 7900 XTX Red Heart :)
That's why I am saying"let's see first how they overclock".Me neither. People wouldn't understand that, because things that are somewhat connected with religion today are either ignored, or not taken seriously as in the past. They would understand on the other hand why someone wouldn't buy a card called "Nazi" for example.Usually teenagers find evil cool because it looks bada_s_s. I mean, on one side you have the peace loving angel and on the other side the blood thirsty demon. Most will assosiate the blood thirsty demon with power, meaning their new graphics card represents power. Something like that.
So essentially if we had in Navi21 launch a similar (theoretically) cut-down Navi21 part it would have lower MSRP than $649 RX6800XT.
Why none is complaining for a +45% increase (let's assume $620 vs $900) is strange indeed.
Probably the naming decision (7900XT instead of 7800XT) for the cut-down Navi31 part played a role plus there is the shock from RTX 4080 increase (+71%)
If someone feels that RTX4080 should have been at the same price as RTX3080 ($699) and If RTX4080 proves to be similar in raster performance vs 7900XT (just like RTX3080 was to RX6800XT) then in the same way it should feel that RX7900XT should have been at the same price as RX6800XT ($649)...
it's insanely fun to see the religious ones going full tilt over the name and theme of a piece of hardware.
To be fair, I've got a 4k 144Hz screen and 6900xt and it is enough for 4k gaming with high refresh. Obviously 4090 will be better but not for that price. I wont pay that much for it.
