Sapphire's Radeon RX 7900 Cards Make an Early Appearance on Amazon
Although we're almost two weeks away from the official launch of AMD's Radeon RX 7900-series, Sapphire's reference design cards have already made an early appearance on Amazon. Both of its cards are listed on the e-tailers website, but sadly without pricing. No new specs were provided either, but at least we did get some more detailed pictures of the two cards. The cards are simply named the Radeon RX 7900 XT Gaming (21323-01-20G) and the Radeon RX 7900 XTX Gaming (21322-01-20G).
It's very clear from the pictures that the Radeon RX 7900 XTX is a much chunkier card than the RX 7900 XT. This also confirms Sapphire as one of the partners that will sell reference cards, but it's unclear if Sapphire will have custom cards ready in time for the launch, or if the company will add those to its line-up at a later date. Note that the model number for the Radeon RX 7900 XTX lists it as having 20 GB of VRAM, although the packaging clearly lists it as having 24 GB. Searching for the model numbers provided by Amazon, it appears that the cards will be in stock in Sweden as well, as one of the local distributors is listing the cards. More pictures after the break.

So I've still been looking. There are seriously no pre-orders for anything anymore is there. They just leave us up against the scalper bots and long lines at 4am in the cold?
It's a graphics card, not a carnival ride.
When you're done, pass the blunt ok No, that is CLEARLY a gaming controller for the Xbox. With extra ergonomical left-hand metal support so you can put a screw through your hand.
Seriously though, this looks like a badass all-black BMW or something. The ones that go to the length of applying matte paint on top of it all.
I want this.

I'm connecting my peripherals through the Dell monitor, which accepts both video and date through it's Type-C display port connector.
"Black objects are warmer than white objects" - LEARN TO QUOTE CORRECTLY!:
"A black object absorbs all wavelengths of light and converts them into heat, so the object gets warm. A white object reflects all wavelengths of light, so the light is not converted into heat and the temperature of the object does not increase noticeably."
The temperature of an object is not dependent on it's color in the first place but the absorbed energy. In a pitch black environment with no light at all - no I do not talk about a closed computer case - there is absolutely no difference between a black or white object in terms of temperature. A 0° Kelvin cold/warm object stays to be a 0° Kelvin cold/warm object independent of it's color.
In an environment like a computer case the situation is a bit different but still: Unless you do not place your case in direct sunlight or under an IR/UV-lamp it does not matter. You wan't all the heat generated (electric energy being converted into heat, not light) by the installed components to be moved away from them as fast as possible. For this reason we have all sorts of coolers - and it's not uncommon for them to be - surprise! - black. too.
If you need an example: Noctua was kind enough to make a BLACK version of their famous NH-D15S, the NH-D15S chromax.black. Guess what! There's no difference except the color.
Might want to cover your kids ears if near by.
Yes@ARF Just go read it. Thanks to you, i've learn something today
