It seems that AMD itself is already tired of waiting for the announcement of its own new video cards and therefore could not resist a little “seed” before a full-fledged presentation. On the official page of the Radeon RX brand on Twitter, an image of the reference design of the Radeon RX 6000 series gaming graphics solutions appeared. Recall, its announcement is expected on October 28.
Apparently, the new series of AMD graphics cards will consist of massive graphics accelerators. The first thing that catches your eye is a large cooling system with three fans. But despite the seeming bulkiness, the cards will occupy two expansion slots in the system unit.
Take a first look at the design of the new Radeon RX 6000 series. Our upcoming graphics cards will feature a brand new cooler design, and you can study every angle yourself on our Fortnite Creative Island. 8651-9841-1639.

On closer inspection, it becomes obvious that somewhere we have already seen this. The design of the RX 6000 is reminiscent of a mixture of Radeon VII and reference variants of NVIDIA GeForce RTX 20-series graphics cards. This becomes noticeable if you look at the smooth corners of the cooling system casing, as well as the central plate with a large Radeon inscription covering part of the radiator.
The most interesting thing is that such a solution is clearly not the best. Owners of the reference GeForce RTX 20 series often complained that the central area of \uXNUMXb\uXNUMXbthe casing blocks the movement of airflow quite seriously, as a result of which the cooling system does not work as efficiently as we would like.
The second interesting point is the presence of two 8-pin power connectors. This configuration is capable of delivering up to 375 watts of power to the graphics accelerator. AMD itself does not say which graphics card model is represented in the published image. Perhaps this is the older model of the series, but perhaps not. Therefore, it is not yet possible to talk about the final number of these connectors.
By the way, the company also reported that a three-dimensional image of the RX 6000 series graphics card can be found in the Fortnite game on Creative Island at coordinates 8651-9841-1639. There you can see the connector panel. Apparently, the new AMD graphics cards will receive two DisplayPort (probably version 1.4), one HDMI (probably version 2.1) and one USB Type-C. Images of the map from the game are shown below in the gallery.
