I just hope it's cool and quiet. I don't want a noisy card.
With a somewhat beefy cooler like that it will be, they only pull about 160 Watts, thats nothing, certainly nothing for a cooler like that.

Those fans are twin blade, interesting.
If there were a valid aerodynamic reason for doing that, we'd see it on aircraft.
Hence I can only assume it's a really, really bizarro gimmick
In that case there are a lot of gimmicky fans out there.
I don't think its as simple as that.
For a start props are not fans. there is a difference
I placed an order for the Gigabyte Nano today, which is still on pre order status. Any idea when these might land?
Going to be using it with the Acer Predator XR341CKB. I did consider going for the Fury Nitro, but my reasoning for the Nano is that I plan to get one of the Vega cards eventually and then the Nano will swap out into another mini ITX computer that I have. So it will still be useful.

According to the site it's in-stock now. So they probably got the shipment rather late in the afternoon.
Design constraints are pretty different between the two so not sure it's particularly relevant.
I'd quite happily bet £10 that it's nothing more than an aesthetic gimmick.
All those blades are are two adjacent blades fused together at the tip.
For one I'm pretty sure PowerColor aren't the kind of company to be on the cutting edge of fan blade design
It's far more likely that their marketing team decided they needed to do something to differentiate their product.
"Fans are a bit boring, they all look the same. Why don't we make the fans look high-tech?"
Those Fury X sold out quickly, any more expected Gibbo?
