All black, simple white LED logo on top, nice backplate, no RGBs. ARE YOU GUYS HAPPY NOW?!

Edit: I know I am

Happy as a clam. I just found my RX 480. It's so gorgeous. So, so gorgeous.

XFX used to have the best looking cards by a country mile with the 2XX series. this is just a bit meh for me, could be any number of brands if it didn't have their logo on it.

I've got to be honest I think this looks very nice. I'm currently running 2 XFX's (a 7950 Black Edition and a R9 280X Black Edition) I look forward to hearing more about this card.

Plain black and not much to it. That's a design many people want. Benefits of lower costs and more sales.. Win win for both sides

Pls XFX, just bring back the 2xx series look... With VRM cooling pls

Pretty much summed up what I was going to say. I only hope the XFX logo doesn't have an LED in it, or if so I can switch it off.

Gonna order this first moment I can. Get rid of my 780

Pretty sure XFX lights up.. they have done that for a couple gens now. It's just a white light so it's not bad unlike all the RGB crap they have now a days. If you can't turn it off via software, i'm sure you could open it up and unplug the LED. Don't think that ruins warranty since i'm fairly certain XFX allows you to waterblock there cards(as long as you don't damage it via removing the cooler or getting water on it obviously).

Funny how XFX have even removed their horrible fan stickers for these pics (unless Quasar Zone did it) And yes, the XFX logo does light up.

You can't really complain about XFX's choice of white LED in both their 480 cooler and the 290(x) cooler. White is a colour that will almost never have negative impact on a build

I would rather have the Sapphire Nitro as you can turn the leds off or have whichever colour you want plus the 8 pin power connector is on the side not the top

Depends on the space you have tbh. White LEDs ftw.
