Gigabyte shows rather weird triangular design concept graphics card cooling

Check this one out, over on the Spanish Twitter account of Aorus, Gigabyte posted a render of a graphics card showing a rather weird-looking angled cooling solution.



You could say the cooler has a triangular design. As to what Gigabyte is trying to accomplish with that we do not know. If you look a little closer you'll notice that the heatsink covers the entire PCB connected with copper heat pipes. With the tilted design, this card would eat up at least three PCIe slots.

To me, it would absolutely not make sense to go for a triangular design, as you cut away much-needed radiator real-estate for actual cooling. Not just that it would be expensive to fabricate as well. The render was posted April 5th, hours ago, perhaps it was a belated Aprils fools joke, as with that design we do not see the product going anywhere.
