I just hope that AIB partners can have their own models ready on day one too.

If that render is real it kinda looks like RTX a bit.

Finally though. Maybe now we won't even need AIB models.

Indeed, either put out to pasture or actually improved to the point where they could be effective without sounding like my Dyson vacuum!

Yeah I will third that. However, I think the reason Vega was bought out with a blower was because the FE were blower and not intended for gaming PCs. More servers with the masses of dangerous fans in them.

I'm so glad AMD are separating their CDNA from RDNA. This will make it much better for gamers. We won't get rebranded server gear. Yay !

Well if multi gpus ever come back, blowers were the best option for them. But when even I have dropped SLI.. you know its over.
