MSI to Launch Custom Radeon RX 5700 GPUs
While the reviews of Radeon RX 5700 and 5700 XT have been published, there were no confirmations or signs of custom designs from AMD's partners of any kind. However, Hardwareluxx, a German tech media, has acquired some slides from MSI about its upcoming line of Navi GPUs. There will be a total of 7 new models, four being RX 5700 XT variants and three for RX 5700. Surprise here is the new branding series for those GPUs. The MECH series is a rebrand of previous Armor series, now with different red and black color combination. Notable addition to design is inclusion of DVI port. Unlike before, we will now get a so called "EVOKE" series, which we don't have details on yet. All we know is that the new cards supposed to arrive with all the custom cards in August.

Never mind the numerous typos in those slides... and the low res MECH logo, the text overlapping the product picture... man. Very poor
Anybody looking at AMD cards should really go for their dedicated manufacturers.
Let's just hope MSI isn't the first or the only brand to make custom designs or they're be overpriced too
Go back and read the reviews here. Some of the best AMD offerings, even recently, have been done by MSI.
Sure, for me Sapphire is THE number one AMD AIB card seller, but I don’t discount what others can do. Let’s just wait for some reviews when actually released
But maybe this was just an early PR blurb gone bad and the real thing is coming.
Were I to be looking for an nvidia card, I'd start with their dedicated manufacturers like EVGA first. Same for AMD, always great service & experience with their dedicated manufacturers like Sapphire.
And financial incentive programs like the GPP are not applicable to them.
For all their exclusive Nvidia work, you’d think they could do something besides woefully unsatisfactory reference PCB’s with minimal VRM and phases. They have a history of cutting corners like that, and then still selling as high performance models.
Is it just me, or does that last line seem like a bad ad pun for p0rn? :eek: :wtf: :slap:
Note to MSI; Change that crap. Just sounds dirty and wrong! :laugh:
Evga is not my go to company like Sapphire is, but the point I was trying to convey is I first look at companies (or sub-divisions at least) who are dedicated to a single vendor. They usually have more to lose from bad service af they are less diversified.
Hmm, that Mech design literally reminds of me of Armor MK2. Unfortunately, that translates to MSI still living in the stone age if they can't revamp their cooling designs like they did with redeeming Armor on Turing.
