In a very brief update this evening, as part of their trickle marketing campaign, AMD has allowed us to release photos of two of their upcoming Radeon RX Vega cards. Cards as in plural, you say? Yes, just like the already-released Radeon Frontier Edition cards, RX Vega will come in air and liquid cooled variants.
Also Spotted: Threadripper
To little surprise, both cards look like a palette swap of their Frontier Edition counterparts, with the same brushed metal finish, fan position, and Radeon "R" logo in the corner. However for any other information besides that, well, AMD is saving that for another time...

Yeah it is! Too bad they're really milling this "trickle marketing campaign" though.

Agreed, it looks great. I wonder how much the liquid cooled version will run..

It probably is. Too bad they stuck it in a generic sheet metal box so we can't see it.

Yeah I'm with you, man - heatsinkless exposed GPU cards are the way to go! Toss in some arr gee bee LEDz for the ultimate casemooding!

Really? Its just an aluminium brick with a hole for a fan in it. Well, no accounting for taste, I suppose.

I kept wondering for a minute what that blue ribbon streaming out of the right GPU was.

LOL. Go watercooling or go home? If these compete with the 1080 vanilla, they need to hit the market around $450-500 for the aircooled version, and a bit more for the watercooled version. Personally that's still too high for me, I'm hoping there will be a partially-enabled model for substantially less I might be able to afford.
That is, if mining demand has diminished by then.

Is the GPU-crotch guy holding a Threadripper chip?
