It was only a few days ago when AMD Radeon revealed that they would be announcing their upcoming Radeon RX 6000 Series graphics cards on October 28th. They caught quite a bit of flak from community members over the tease of the announcement rather than just announcing a product but it seems they picked up and have decided to pull back the curtain on the Radeon RX 6000 Series cooler!

Pretty sure they've just had an AIB design it for them, it would make sense if they wanted the best cooler from the start to do this, and collaborate rather than going it alone.

Looks like a sapphire job. Wouldn't be surprised and think it's a great move. Looks fantastic.

Exactly what i thought, its got sapphire written all over it. However, if that was the case, could it hamper the sales of actual sapphire cards?
 
That looks very nice. Well done AMD, hopefully it cools well without sounding like jet engine.

Maybe. I'm guessing they will stick with higher clocked/extra ports/WC versions to sell AIBs? Maybe that rumoured overdrive/watercooling setting will bring some scope to sell other extra price points as well.
 
If it perform as well as it looks then AMD will have delivered on a promise to improve stock cards.

They had to do this IMO, how many sales has AMD missed out on in the first couple of months just because they ship cards with a blower cooler that's barely adequate and reviewers have said 'wait for the non reference designs before buying'?

I've had a few reference models and they were all pretty awful. R9 290s were the worst imo. Definitely nice to see they've adapted but want benchmarks.

My 5700xt is really not bad at all. I have to undervolt to 970/1000mv and limit the clock speed to 1900mhz, and i lose around 2% in performance but its absolutely fine honestly. My vega64 reference was ok at 1080p. when i went to 1440p i wanted to stab my ear drums, it was awful, and no amount of tuning worked.

My brother had to do the same but was happy with it once it settled. He's at 1080p currently so no doubt he'd have the same issue if he went 1440p.
