Roughly a month ago, Vastarmor debuted its "Super-less" Radeon RX 9070 XT Alloy SKU. The Chinese manufacturer's barebones spin-off—derived from a triple-fan flagship design—was stripped of fancy ARGB trimmings. Additionally, this sober-looking alternative option was deemed unworthy of sporting 3.1 GHz boost clock credentials—instead, making do with a mere 3010 MHz setting. A brand-new "Super Alloy Ultra" model retains elite-tier membership; as demonstrated by a recently published specification sheet. The Vastarmor design team has opted into using a louder and wider color palette; clearly demonstrated by their fresh RX 9070 XT Super Alloy Ultra's zany pearlescent rainbow-spectrum shroud setup. Unfortunately, this bright aesthetic treatment did not extend to the new flagship's backplate. The AIB's Super Alloy White option was appropriately decorated; on the front and back. Vastarmor's latest offering is not expected to break retail barriers beyond Chinese markets. ASRock's premium Radeon RX 9070 XT Taichi OC card is—perhaps—the closest to being a visually "eccentric" option for global audiences. Fittingly, its factory overclocked talents include a 3.1 GHz boost clock.

- People that like color and are tired of everything being drab black/gray/beige colors in modern life?

More cards is more cards, everyone knows red blooded Americans put their cards in a solid no-glass panel case and it doesn't actually matter what color the card is.
 
Ya know what? Sure the shroud looks like a test piece for an airbrush or spray can, but I dig it! :rockout:
 

I couldn't help it...
 
Holy mother of ugly! I think we got a new King. This is a new low.
 
The transparent fans seal the deal here, obviously. This literally looks like a cheap plastic toy waterpistol or something. Where do you put the water in?
 
I did wrote I like something else as the usual boring business style black.

This card is different. The card catches attention for it's decent choice of colours.
It's interesting how they were able to make it like that. I suppose it's hopefully not painted? I want to see the back of that color plate to see if it's painted or fully injection molded.
 
I wanna pair it with a Zalman CNPS9900A CPU cooler. I wonder if we'll ever get more colorful motherboards back in style?
 
Closest I would go towards a rainbow GPU is if they made a burnt Titanium back plate and shroud. Now that would look good IMO.
