XFX Radeon RX 5700 XT THICC II Graphics Card Pictured

We're willing to bet that whoever came up with the name "Fatboy" for a 3-slot thick RX 590 graphics card at XFX, is also behind the new Radeon RX 5700 XT THICC II. This 3-slot "thick" RX 5700 XT is characterized by a symmetric combination of cooler shroud and back-plate, which fuse at the card's tail end into a chrome grille, which probably explains the name THICC (a slang for people voluptuous below the waist). Under all this, the card uses a custom-design PCB that's somewhat similar to the reference-design, with minor modifications near the power inputs (upside down connectors to help with clearance with the tall cooler), and the use of conventional cylindrical capacitors.

A pair of 100 mm fans ventilate a large aluminium fin-stack heatsink underneath the shroud. The card probably features idle fan-stop. The heatsink consists of two aluminium fin-stacks arranged along the ends of a few copper heat pipes that make direct contact with the GPU. The clock-speeds of this card are not known, since the box doesn't appear to have any "OC" markings. Like most other AMD add-in board (AIB) partners, XFX is expected to launch the Radeon RX 5700 XT THICC II and its other cost-effective sibling some time mid-August.

oh my ... they followed that stupid internet trend ... what a pack of [censored]


seriously ... it's not a slang ... it's a voluntary spelling error which make it way more stupid than "Fatboy", Slang usually are way more logical and smart than replacing a K with a C

They could be hinting at that. Let's be fair, most people who are going to buy this card could stand to get outside for some exercise.

More of a friendly play on words emphasising "Bigger and Better". Although I agree some exercise would be nice ............ and I do a bloody TON of it in Battlefield, "ain't no marathon like the BF franchise"

lZKoceDoesn't thicc mean curvy in a sexy way in slang English: "When a person has fat in the right places, creating sexy curves ". Alright I can buy that MSI, some play of words and some big-a$$ buick 70s grill right there on the back.
It depends on who you ask...if you ask me they're just obest 9/10 times...

Looks like a normal DD card with a useless grill on an end.

Is it problematic to see a cooling solution at 7 nm that is larger than my 390X at 28 nm ? All I hear is smaller scale equals better cooling, less power blah blah blah.

Most of the 390's could not maintain full clocks 24/7 with the coolers provided I would love to see that size and larger coolers on modern cards that do produce less heat, means lower fan speeds.
