Sapphire Develops a Fanless RX 5700 XT Card for Rack Airflow
Sapphire released the GPRO X070 compute graphics card. This is very much a graphics card, in that it has display outputs, and is based on the AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT, but there's a twist—it's completely fanless. The card has a large triple-slot heatsink cooling the GPU, which is designed to rely on external airflow in rackmount cases, and probably won't work on its own in a tower case. Sapphire says its applications include render farms, or V-GPUs. The card features an AMD Radeon RX 5700 XT that runs at reference clock speeds—1905 MHz max boost, 14 Gbps GDDR6 memory. There's also an "Efficiency Mode" enabled through a secondary BIOS, which runs the GPU at 1750 MHz boost, possibly making the card best suited for crypto-currency mining operations.

I'm sure it'd also be overpriced over a "gaming" 5700XT - it'd be doubly expensive to just purchase an aftermarket GPU heatsink and slap it on there.
I already said it be kinda crazy to buy a 3rd party cooler for it, and lets face it these will not be cheap either.
Passively cooled? No.
Sorry, I'll see myself out now
