ASUS ROG Strix LC Radeon RX 6800 XT Pictured

As if on cue, AMD add-in board partners have started teasing their upcoming custom-design Radeon RX 6000 series graphics cards, which AMD claims are competitive with NVIDIA's fastest. Here's the first picture of the ROG Strix LC Radeon RX 6800 XT by ASUS, featuring a refreshing new board design that uses an AIO liquid cooler too cool the GPU, while other hot components such as the memory and VRM are cooled by heatsinks that are ventilated by a lateral blower. The GPU AIO cooler uses what looks like a 240 mm x 120 mm radiator. Both the cooler shroud and the radiator fans come with RGB embellishments.

Update 14:38 UTC: We also have pictures, courtesy of DonanimHaber, of the TUF Gaming RX 6800 XT OC, and air-cooled ROG Strix RX 6800 XT, which looks a lot like the ROG Strix series cards based on the NVIDIA RTX 30-series.

ShurikNWhen it comes to Radeon, Asus cards are the ones to avoid. So many blunders in the past 5-6 years, it aint even funny anymore.
True, they give very little effort as far as AMD is concerned, which makes this card interesting. Is this a sign that Asus is frustrated by ampere's launch? Surprising Asus wouldn't try this on ampere first.

The air-cooled STRIX looks rather nice. With anything ROG Strix though, it will undoubtedly suffer from the "ROG tax" which means it'll be crazy expensive. Meh. Sapphire's been my go-to for Radeon cards anyway.

If it's a GPU I always look towards EVGA/Sapphire ideal options myself for motherboards it's AsRock or Gigabyte for me in general though MSI did really well for x570 from what I've seen at least they occasionally surprise me for MB's and GPU's to be fair the TWIN FROZR designs for GPU's was actually pretty good when it first came about from what I recall.

I wish then can turn off the water pump at idle and use the blower? single fan during this state for minimum cooling/noise.
