Spotted: AMD's Radeon RX Vega, Air & Liquid Cooled

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.pheno.menon - Saturday, July 29, 2017 - link
Agreed, it looks great. I wonder how much the liquid cooled version will run..Lord of the Bored - Saturday, July 29, 2017 - link
It probably is. Too bad they stuck it in a generic sheet metal box so we can't see it.Alexvrb - Sunday, July 30, 2017 - link
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!Lord of the Bored - Monday, July 31, 2017 - link

Really? Its just an aluminium brick with a hole for a fan in it. Well, no accounting for taste, I suppose.IanHagen - Sunday, July 30, 2017 - link
As Chef Alvin would've said, taste is king! Okay, quote makes no sense. I'd take Vega's industrial design over the bunch of spaceship-esque LED-ridden cards any day.MrSpadge - Sunday, July 30, 2017 - link
Could be a lot worse ;)Flunk - Sunday, July 30, 2017 - link
I honestly couldn't care what it looks like, performance is the only thing that matters.
