Watercooled AMD Radeon RX 6900 XTX gets pictured
In related news, VideoCardz also came across photos of an unreleased AMD Radeon RX 6900 XTX with watercooling. This model is equipped with all-in-one watercooling and is an evaluation board. It's unknown if AMD is still planning to release this variant.One would have guessed that this Navi 21 [XTXH] variant was originally planned for this liquid reference design, but due to very limited supply, AMD decided to just give it away to AIBs instead. Of course, that is just an educated guess, we might as well see this liquid-cooled XTX model being released in the coming months.
