According to the already established tradition, manufacturers do not announce the full characteristics of video cards before they go on sale. At the time of the announcement, it is only suggested to evaluate the appearance of the new products.
The flagship PowerColor Red Devil series graphics cards are equipped with the most efficient cooling systems and also feature the most significant factory overclocking of graphics processors.
The Radeon RX 9070 XT Red Devil is equipped with a massive cooling system that is three expansion slots thick and includes three large fans. For additional power, the new product uses two 8-pin PCIe connectors.
The Red Devil series cards are made on the basis of 12-layer textolite. PowerColor notes the use of highly efficient Honeywell PTM7950 thermal pads in the cooling systems of these cards. The new products received Hellstone RGB backlighting.
A limited series of Radeon RX 9070 (XT) Red Devil Limited Edition graphics cards will also be available for sale, with a branded keycap for the keyboard, made in the style of the Red Devil series, included in the delivery kits.
The Hellhound series of graphics cards will be available in both black and white versions – Hellhound Spectral White. These cards are located one level lower in the hierarchy of Red Devil accelerators, offering somewhat simplified cooling systems.
According to PowerColor, the Radeon RX 9070 XT and RX 9070 Hellhound and Hellhound Spectral White variants also use 12-layer PCBs and Honeywell PTM7950 high-performance thermal pads to efficiently transfer heat from the components to the cooling system’s heatsink. The Hellhound cards feature signature icy blue lighting, which can be turned off entirely if desired.
The manufacturer also presented cards in a completely new Reaper design. Visually, they are equipped with the simplest cooling systems among the new PowerColor products. And yet, their compositions also use Honeywell PTM7950 thermal pads.
The Reaper cards (like Hellhound) are two expansion slots thick. Apparently, the new Reaper cards will be the most affordable among the manufacturer’s solutions.
