PowerColor Radeon RX 6900 XT Liquid Devil Smiles for the Camera

btarunr · Feb 22, 2021

Here are some of the first marketing pictures of the PowerColor Radeon RX 6900 XT Liquid Devil, the company's flagship graphics card targeted at PC enthusiasts with DIY liquid-cooling setups. The company had teased this card in mid-January, but is yet to formally launch it. The card combines a juiced up variant of the RX 6900 XT Red Devil PCB with a full-coverage water-block supplied by EK Water Blocks. This block is derived from EK's QuantumVector RX 6000 family, and features nickel-plated copper as its main material, paired with an acrylic top that's studded with addressable-RGB LEDs. The card is expected to come with slightly higher clock speeds than the air-cooled Red Devil Limited Edition. The package also includes a PowerColor-exclusive set of coolant dyes.

Pa-pa-pa-pa-paper launch. Although looks simple and nice.

Ummm if only when they are released you could buy one for sensible money... Those cards are gorgeous, the 5700XT I have looks amazing!

Why using dual slot bracket if it clearly is a single slot now?

I've seen custom single slot brackets on Ali for RTX30xx cards and it totally makes sense.

I want to know if this is as amp'd up as the Sapphire Toxic appears to be (based on power reqs), if not moreso. It'd would be even better if PowerColor got AMD to remove the limits on the 6900XT just for pre-waterblocked models (then throw in some anti-mining coding into it too).

I don't know why PowerColor used dual slot bracket for this EK block.
I have EK Quantum Vector block for 6800XT reference and it comes with single slot bracket:
