I would totally put that in my system... no innuendo implied. xD
I'm I getting confused about the push and the pull? Fitted in a case in the conventual way, pull air from underneath (face of the card) then exhaust it out the top (back of the card) right into the intake of a CPU air cooler?!?
Feed a CPU air cooler with preheated GPU air, that is going to be great!

Bottom side is pull. It exhausts out of the PCI bracket. The right side is pull also, and exhausts through the card as the board has a V cut in it.

I like it but it needs 2 fans, 1 on each side, Extra airflow never hurt.
Have a look at the original CAD models Alien, the PCB is a conventional rectangle with no V cut, the V is in the backplate.
Assuming the fan motors turn clockwise, then both fans direct air downwards away from the CPU area in a traditional layout, in this case the fan over the GPU core would intake air from the PCIe bracket and exhaust downards.
If the fan models are anti-clockwise(Unconventional, but very simple to do) then both the fans direct air upwards in the direction they traditionally blow(Indeed with one exhausting seemingly into the intake of a CPU cooler, but the other exhausting out the PCIe bracket and around the card as in a typical model)

It has two fans. Look at the renders again. One is on the right of the back (so in the back plate) and the other is in the bottom where they normally are.
Don't worry, you're not its first victim lmao. It's a mind bender for sure.

Just found this...
That is funky but I kinda like it, I only looked at the first pic in the article XD
When I see it like that, I just see a 2080ti FE with one fan flipped to the back on one side. And considering the vent/vanes on the opposite side of the fans at either end. I still think both are intakes and ventilation acts as a pass through rather than channeled through the card.

It would be more believable if both fans blew downwards, so there was at least some uniformity to the airflow. Gainward used to do had that blew away from the PCB in their phantom cards.Just found this...
From the original pictures and CAD drawing(Not this animation) it does seem that both fans point in the same direction, the question is really which direction(But if they're traditional fans, which is the most likely scenario, then downwards).
(To confirm it visually yourself, look at the fans at each side, pick a rotational direction(The motor/hub is facing away from the card in both so neither card is on "backwards"), EG clockwise, and visualise how the blades would move the air, if they both rotate clockwise the fan over the GPU core would pull air out of the heatsink and downwards away from the card, and the fan on the "wrong side" would push air down into the heatsink and out the other side)

Exactly. its the only way based on the fan design in the pictures (not renders). If people think the air blows other way meaning the fans went anti clockwise, the blades would need to be inverted as their angular form right now is to draw air in from outside and into the card on each end.
Yeah, obviously that's besides the fact that whenever you have two opposing parallel airflows like this would be, you're likely to get a bit of a vortex where they meet, which means the air is liable to just cycle and stall in the centre rather than flowing efficiently.
While not impossible it would be very hard to get contra direction fans working nicely (Not just efficiency wise but also without long term rattle if they were both facing away)

If you look at the curvature of the leading edge of the fan blades, the design feature I would say is best place to tell you in which direction air is to be pushed, it looks as though the fan over the core would spin anticlockwise blowing air into the pcb, and the fan on the backplate side would spin anticlockwise, blowing air down through the card to the bottom of the case. Fans spinning opposite directions, pushing air in opposite directions, but feeding each other.
It just get funkier and weirder and more fake (or in the very least a rejected design) the more I look at it.

I see it as the top is pulling air in and the bottom is pulling air in, pushing air across the needed parts, sure it looks a little odd but it's pretty easy for me to see it.
As much as the design is ok I'll still most likely go for an aftermarket card, least it's not too long until we know the real details from all sides cause all these if buts and maybe leaks are over hyping them all, sooner they are out the better.
