PowerColor has begun teasing another entry to their graphics card brands: Hellhound is fated to meet the Red Dragon and Red Devil products branding in either physical or virtual store shelves. The tease comes a mere week before AMD is expected to launch their mainstream RX 6700 graphics cards (powered by the Navi 22 GPU with 2560 Stream Processors and 12 GB of GDDR6 memory), and thus, it seems legitimate to assume that the new series will debut with that particular AMD SKU. The color scheme for the new brand logo seems to tease a black, silver and teal design language.

This is what PowerColor had to say in describing their new series: "Hellhound is born, sharp of fang and razor-like claws, covered with fur that is tough like armour. Its eyes burn in the darkness, allowing it to precisely track and stalk its prey. It used to be a battle hound kept by a warrior brave, Yet, its bravery not unnoticed by the Red Devil, saw a chance to make this hound the keeper of his gates of hell… This Hellhound is silent, not a sound it makes as it guards the gates ready to strike in the darkness with a killer grace… Once prey is found, Hellhound will take it down, it strikes with stealth at one stroke!"

So chances are there won't be a Red Devil Navi 22 and they're gonna release Hellhound series instead.

Would be stupid to kill an established brand in favor for a completely new one?

The design probably will be awesome. Imagine how fine these will look in some mining rig in a shack in the middle of Iran.

That's a fantastic mental image you've just conjured for me.

Idkr, maybe they decided they needed a new series for the higher midrange variant the Navi 22. Or the Hellhound series will just sit between the Red Devil series and the Red Dragon series. All will be revealed on March 3rd.
And rest assured dear @W1zzard no established brands were harmed in the making of this comment! ;)

On the TV show Supernatural, hellhounds were invisible. Thus, I think this is a good name for a GPU line in the current market.

Lol, wow.... Its graphics card. Just give it name befitting to said graphics card and let the product speak for itself, satanic references and imagery isn't going to increase sales it just makes you look silly.

Just what we need, more models to take up the already uber-constrained/ultra-non-existent supply of gpu chips...

Are they just gonna source out their chips from some underworld, commie-bastard chip farm out of the depths of the south china sea or what, I mean seriously, whaddafukimama anyways :D

Kind of disappointed they haven't brought back the "Devil 13" sub-brand for extreme, triple slot, air-cooled versions of the top SKUs; in this case, 6800XT and 6900XT, with higher power limits and OC potential and requiring 3 8-Pin plugs.

Hellhound's coloration kind of reminds me of the Liquid Devil series too; just trading blue for teal. My guess is it could either be an AIO family (the equivalent of the Sapphire Toxic), or a middle family between the relatively budget Red Dragon and high-end Red Devil (and Liquid Devil) series.
