It seems to me they are exhaust the rear GPU fan bottom up thru the fins while the rear blower fan is pulling and exhausting heat thru fins orientated in a different direction. It's very hybrid of blower and top down. Another way to do similar would be to put a divider in the middle and use two blower fans with standard blower fan orientation and have each blower fan exhaust heat out each side half outside the case half into the case out the rear of the GPU. I'm surprised the twin blower design hasn't been done in such a manner that I know of at least. The power connector could be right in the middle.
A card like RTX 2080 reference would be a ideal candidate for the type of twin blower arrangement I mention though really any dual fan top down arrangement card with proper fin orientation along with a divider barrier wall in the middle could work well.
A saw a neat cooler arrangement on a Sapphire Toxic AIO as well where the rear half of the card had heatsink fins and a fan that exhaust a portion of the heat out the rear of the GPU into the case while the front portion has a waterblock cooling the chip core itself. That design looked quite decent.
I've said it a good number of times that I'd like to see a twin fan setup with a blower fan involved so it's quite cool to see a company finally take such a approach. It looks like it could work very nicely. I have my doubts it would work as well as what I mentioned above in regard to a true twin blower arrangement, but I do think it'll work good in general and allow a nice mix of good heat exhaust outside the case and at more tame sound levels than a normal single blower fan setup would capable of at better temps.
It should scale back much of the bigger complaints with blower fan designs at their most extremes and worst case scenario's of over zealous fan speed RPM's trying to do the work of two top down fans. It's a nice compromise step to resolving that common design issue. I hope they send a review sample to test the cooling functionality. What would be cool is Arctic doing a twin AIO with a pair of it's freeze blowers divided in the middle with a shroud like I mentioned. That's what should be done on the new NVIDIA TITANS MAGMA EDITION cards give sob's a pair of 360 AIO's mounted on it.
