TUL Corporation, a leading and innovative manufacturer of AMD graphic cards since 1997, today is releasing the highly anticipated Red Devil and Red Dragon graphics cards based on AMD Radeon RX 6800 Series graphics. Powered by AMD RDNA 2 gaming architecture, the new PowerColor graphics cards provide one of the biggest generational performance leaps in years.

With a year in the making, PowerColor redesigned and re-engineered the next generation Red Devil graphics cards to be more powerful, more efficient and even more Devilish looking. With the new design, the Red Devil Radeon RX 6800 Series models are paired with an entirely new advanced cooling solution that keep the graphics cards running at low temperatures, but at the same time, providing a remarkable high-performance gaming experience while maintaining a whisper quiet operation.



A New Take on RGB
Along with the new cooling system, the Red Devil Radeon RX 6800 Series models now have a totally redesigned RGB lighting. It provides an immersive look that merges perfectly with the cooling solution and ARGB connection, enabling total RGB synchronization via motherboard for the first time.

State of the Art PCB
The PowerColor Red Devil AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT and Radeon RX 6800 graphics cards come with a powerful VRM configuration, 16 and 14 phases respectively, using the industry's best DrMOS as well as high polymer capacitors. This combination enables greater performance and power stability compared to the 13/12 phase found on the AMD reference card. With two 8-pin PCIe connectors for maximum reliability and the highest performance, the PowerColor Red Devil is able to deliver up to 480 W of power.

Red Devil Limited Edition
To celebrate the redesign of the Red Devil cards, PowerColor teamed up with a ZOMOPLUS world-famous keyboard cap artist to develop and bundle Red Devil keyboard caps with Limited-Edition packaging. RX 6800 XT and RX 6800 come with 2 pieces and 1 piece keyboard cap respectively. Red Devil keyboard cap, game in style!

Dual BIOS and Mute Fan Technology
Game hard or whisper-quiet stealth mode, you pick! The Red Devil and Red Dragon graphics cards come with Dual BIOS, providing the best performance and the most optimal cooling profile to match any gaming style. In addition, when the temperature of the graphics cards fall under 60 degrees Celsius, the fans will be off with Mute Fan technology.

Red Dragon Shows It's Claws as Well
Red Dragon is always a favorite among gamers that love clean and sleek designs, and PowerColor today is announcing the new Red Dragon Radeon RX 6800 XT and Radeon RX 6800 graphics cards, with improved performance over the AMD reference design. Featuring a triple-fan design with 100*90*100mm fans sitting on an extra dense array of fins and 7 heatpipes, the new cards are designed to achieve the best thermal efficiency.
4K Gaming
Designed for the most demanding gaming enthusiasts looking to game on the highest possible settings, the new PowerColor newest Red Devil and Red Dragon graphics cards come with crazy fast clocks and leverage 16GB of ultra-fast GDDR6 memory. They also feature 128MB of AMD Infinity C

Next Generation Gaming with AMD RDNA 2
PowerColor Red Devil graphics cards are built on AMD RDNA 2 gaming architecture, a new foundation for next-generation consoles, PCs, laptops and mobile devices, designed to deliver the optimal combination of performance and power efficiency which provides up to 54 percent more performance-per-watt when comparing the AMD Radeon RX 6800 XT graphics card to the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT graphics card built on AMD RDNA architecture.

Radeon Anti-Lag3 and AMD FidelityFX
Gamers want highly responsive gameplay and the best visual fidelity. Radeon Anti-Lag - significantly decreases input-to-display response times and offers a competitive edge in gameplay. The AMD FidelityFX open-source toolkit for game developers provides a collection of lighting, shadow and reflection effects that make it easier for developers to add high-quality post-process effects that make games look beautiful, while offering the optimal balance of visual fidelity and performance.

AMD FreeSync Technology
Gamers can take full advantage of the AMD Radeon RX 6800 Series graphics cards by pairing with an AMD FreeSync Technology -certified monitor to enable an exceptional stutter and tear-free gaming experience with high refresh rates, low latency, and stunning HDR.

I can also concur, no listings of any cards for 6800/xt, reference or custom on Canada Computers or Memory express.
Newegg is the only site with them listed, all out of stock and well over MSRP even when accounting for conversion
AMD managed to have an even worse launch then Nvidia here in Canada, so I guess they one-upped them in some way.
