The majority of PowerColor coverage—emerging from Computex 2025—focused on custom Radeon RX 9060 XT graphics cards. The usual staple of Reaper and Hellhound options were showcased in Taiwan, but a brand-new family made an appearance. As highlighted by Shroud/syurarara (a YouTuber), a whole corner of the brand's booth was dedicated to a lone demonstration unit. Not much context was provided, beyond a logo and an accompanying mascot/icon/protagonist. Shroud shared a couple of tidbits: "apparently a new PowerColor model will be released in the future! It's a mix of white and gray. The name of the new graphics card hasn't been decided yet, but the female character's name is apparently REVA."

Given the lack of specifications and little explanation (provided by company representatives), PowerColor could jump-start a full-blown marketing campaign in the near future. Their brand-new REVA graphics card series seems to be semi-related to the familiar Hellhound IP; observers noticed the presence of two Hellhound emblem-branded cooling fans on the Computex sample/prototype. Despite having an almost direct line to a source at (or adjacent to) PowerColor, VideoCardz did not get an inside scoop on REVA. Their news report opined that the white/gray card could leverage Radeon RX 9070 XT (or non-XT) hardware, and be lined up for a possible global release.

In my language "reva" means "coward" or in slang of similar meaning, a "pussy" or "chickenshit".

I'm not sure why PowerColor didn't go the path of Red Devil and White Angel naming scheme. Good and evil, red and black or white and black. Or even Red Devil and White Devil...

Anyway, it looks alright otherwise.
 
IF this is what is being mistaken for "NEWS" nowadays, especially something worthy of a sheepishly-written, boring AF PR, then I feel we all are in for a whole heap of trouble, disappointment, and non-amazement :(

Reva is better than "devil" any day. That is super boring and unpleasant.

The question here is - does this low-end graphics card really need a triple-fan cooler? Why not a single fan or dual-fan max?

Yeah, these massive triple fan coolers on cards that are so low power you'd be fine with just 2 is annoying. I wish companies would embrace the R9 Fury Nano format. That card was such a cool format and it could cool these tiny chips easily. Upside to these massive coolers is that they can be really dead quiet (if they don't mess up the fan curve).
 
Why is every manufacturer suddenly into the AI-generated fake anime babe vibe? Are there really so many lonely male gamers with an insatiable platonic attraction towards cartoon girls printed on GPUs and GPU boxes that this actually makes a good business case?

Not sure if this 9060XT, I imagine it's actually the 9070XT, since the 9060 XT Hellhound is not as wide as the 9070.
In any case, if anyone want's 2 fan for the 9060's the Reaper is actually pretty small, I believe it's the smallest of all 9060XTs.
