In addition to the RX 470 Red DEVIL, PowerColor also launched the Radeon RX 470 Red DRAGON graphics card. This is essentially a non-overclocked variant of the Red DEVIL, featuring AMD reference clock speeds for the RX 470, including 1210 MHz engine boost, and 6.60 GHz (GDDR5-effective) memory, compared to the 1270 MHz boost and 7.00 GHz memory on the Red DEVIL. The card is distinct from the Red DEVIL in that it features white-colored metal inserts into the cooler shroud instead of red; and draws power from a single 6-pin PCIe power connector, instead of 8-pin on the Red DEVIL, so it may not have the same OC potential as its more expensive sibling. The card will likely be priced under the $200 mark.

I guess they reserve the red for the Red Devil RX 470 edition.
I saw the other one, but if your going to call it "Red Dragon" I expect at least some red somewhere on the card LOL.

RX 470 so far is a very impressive performer, staying with it's bigger brother the RX 480 8GB (reference) in most games.
