PowerColor Reveals the Red Devil 7900-series

Three weeks ago, PowerColor teased its Radeon RX 7900-series Red Devil cards on social media, but now the company has revealed more details of its upcoming cards. Oddly enough, PowerColor hasn't gone for RGB fans here, unlike its Hellhound cards, although the Red Devil cards do have a lot of RGB accents. A unique, if somewhat pointless feature is that the Red Devil cards come with a removable backplate cover, so you can choose to have a "plain" metal backplate, or a rather unusual looking backplate that appears to be made mostly out of plastic.

As with the Hellhound cards, PowerColour has used a 14-layer PCB for the Red Devil cards, but has added a 21st VRM for some reason, as the Hellhound cards "only" have 20 VRMs. The heatsinks with eight heatpipes appear to be nigh on identical to the one used on the Hellhound cards. PowerColour has also installed a side-mounted metal bracket to help prevent GPU sag, but it appears as if the bracket only reaches half way down the length of the card. The Red Devil cards have three 8-pin power connectors. What is unclear is what type of display interfaces the cards will have, as PowerColor didn't provide an image of that side of the cards, but based on the PCB picture, USB-C doesn't appear to be part of the mix.

RavenasI’m a pretty loyal Powercolor user since 5700XT.

5700 XT Powercolor (sold) - > Vega 64 Powercolor (sold) -> 6900 XTXH Powercolor -> 6950XT Powercolor.

Their software sucks but theirs cards are performers for sure. I recommend to all. I have a 6900XTXH Asrock and it is a performer too. TPU editor choice.

My 6900 XTXHs hit clocks at 2700 on AIR. My 6950XT does the same, but the memory over locks to 2350.

I highly recommend Powercolor, but they need to wake up and start providing TPU with review samples. They are trying to go the way of content creators…
Yeah. I like the devils. got a 6900xt and I love it. Had the Vega 64 red devil and loved it as well.
Obviously, the design and looks are more of a preference and one may like it the other may not. In terms of build and structure and cooling. It is a very good card and really recommend powercolor as to get card.

MarsM4NResponse from the PowerColor designer:



Plastic is also a great insulator, trapping more heat inside the GPU & creating a more devil'ish gaming experience. :cool: ™
I think they are aware of that, so much that the next design might be something for those who fear that there's not enough airflow :D
