The board is clearly a prototype with a red PCB design and voltage contacts in places. It is clear, however, that this design matches what AMD showed in late August via three red stripes on the heatsink. The board is longer than the Radeon 6900 design, but has the same power connector configuration as the RDNA2 GPU, a dual 8-pin connector design. The heatsink doesn’t seem to have room for an additional power connector, so it could be a Radeon 7900 XT or a flagship 7900 XTX that could share the same triple fan design.
This prototype is not a final product, what is clearly missing is the backplate found on all high-end RDNA2 reference products. Also, don’t worry about the red PCB, it will definitely turn black.
AMD is now expected to announce its Radeon 7900 series this Thursday, which is rumored to launch in early December. At least two graphics cards are on the way, including the 7900XT and 7900XTX with Navi 31 GPU, RDNA3 architecture and an innovative chiplet design.
