    I'm extremely confused, the text claims this is a small card, but your table of values says it's larger than a reference card and the images make it look huge.

    The video card itself is tiny, PowerColor just tacked on a giant cooling system on it. We don't have any pictures of the other side of the video card, but I'm curious to see how much of the cooler overlaps the card.

    I would say it barely extends past the PCI-E clip, you can see the board cut off in the 1st and 3rd picture.

    Haha WOW. I didn't even notice that. Whats the point of a 3rd fan with what appears to be nothing below it?

    Seems like they got lazy on the cooler design and did one size fits all.

    The actual radiator extends that far.

    The cooler is huge, the card is small. Meaning, you could remove the cooler, cram it in a mini ITX build, and liquid cool the whole thing.

    less expensive for them to produce is "good" but the fact that as soon as it hits store shelves price goes through roof is bad..vega 56 ~$1k vega 64 ~$1.2k not bad for cards that should be costing $399-$699 the makers and AMD/Nv say they do not see this amount of extra "gain" someone sure as hell does and is laughing all the way to the bank.

    I will never buy Visiontek or powercolor due to RMA practises or lack of here in Canada (cost-wait time etc) but powercolor does make some sexy looking cards ^.^

    Card prices are coming down, they're right around $700 on Newegg (and in stock) and have been losing about $50/week the last month or more.

    OEMs and retailers/resellers are making the lion's share of the additional profit. AMD and Nvidia both see increased revenue due to increased sales but their profit per unit sold very likely remains flat (which is what they were saying).

    I easily forgot that HBM allows for smaller PCBs. Jow I wish we are back to normal card prices

    By this point we should have seen the RX Vega Nano hit retail (and Tim Sweeney already has one). However crypto prices put the brakes on that.

    I bet a Vega Nano gains a lot of efficiency vs its higher-TDP brethren, without giving up much performance.
