I don't know, some of EVGA's designs have been pretty unique over the past few generations. Not necessarily good... but weird at least. Like this hot mess:

But at least it’s different . I agree with comments about blandness.
Let’s slap 3 fans in a row. And bound them with angled black plastic to make it look faster ..... wooooo...... boorrrriiinnnng.....zzzzz

that's pretty much all the Waifu card is except the plastic isn't black.
Lets not forget that;
a) the cooler is there to do a job first & foremost.
b) flowery (not literally) details and beefy looking design flourishes are adding quite a bit to the price tag of these cards.
c) the more unique a product is, the more likely it is to illicit a negative response and limit its market attraction.

This is why I never had a windowed PC case
it smells??!??! LOL
have to admit, I'd seen the card before but not looked into it any more.

I liked the cute pet more. Has more general appeal, you could just about justify the cute pet for anyone who likes cats or animals.
Out of interest, is the GPU meant to be the Waifu, or the woman printed on the back?

Yup. It's liberally doused in perfume.
Neither. It's just Gamers Nexus making reference to the target market.
Yeston released a "Hello Kitty" themed RX580 a few years back, GN reviewed that too.
Not my cup of tea and honestly I don't like windowed cases much, but something like this would have been fantastic for my younger niece when I put a system together for her awhile back.

Yes, I agree there needs to be function over form and the one shown above is still curvy plastic but at least it’s a different look to the norm which is somewhat refreshing .... kinda.

From nearly all these Chinese brand cards the same thing plays out. Quirky looks above performance. Sometimes the performance is diabolical compared to better brand regular cards. Sometimes it's the cooler, other times the card is just a terrible design (bios/electronics/cooling). In short, don't bother with these irregular Chinese brands for now, as you have nothing to gain from them.
I think the PCB looks great BTW, although the cooler doesn't.
