Radeon VII graphics card by Sapphire - Listed with 1750 MHz Boost frequency
Sapphire figured, well if ASRock can, we can too. And as such, they released a product page on the Radeon VII. The card listed is a reference product as well. This round though Sapphire added specification.
It won't be much longer before we'll see the first product available for VEGA20, aka the Radeon VII. While it is still a little unknown if there will be custom AIB products we do know that the AIB will do an AIC, e.g. they will sell the reference products. The first photos on that have surfaced, yesterday ASRock with the Radeon VII Phantom gaming edition, and today Sapphire. Both based on a reference design aside from a sticker or two. Looking at the box we see the confirmed thing like a 7nm process, 16 GB HBM2 memory with a bandwidth of 1 TB per second and that Freesync 2 HDR support.
Sapphire is listing card ar a 1400 MHz engine clock with a Boost towards 1750 MHz. The card will be fitted with 1x HDMI 2.0b
and 3x DisplayPort 1.4. The Vega II or Vega VII logo has now also been confirmed. The new graphics card should be on the shelves by February 7 and is priced at 699 USD.

It is most likely that demand for a card like this after already existing GTX 1080 Ti and RTX 2080 owners is too low to let make custom designs of it yet. AMD plays pretty safe these days and they will first see how much the card will sell, since we all know that the first patch are partly functional professional cards. I think there shouldn't be worries about the cooling and it looks great to me, but those who wanted a more compact alternative for small cases are left out, though would it really be any benefit to put such a card in a small case? Temperatures would undeniably rise without water cooling.
I'm very eager to see how this performs.

AMD makes pretty decent reference designs for their boards. Their cooling solutions always weren't the greatest, but the cooler for Radeon VII looks to be pretty decent itself on its own. Really unless you're going to be doing some hardcore overclocking, the stock might be all you need for a basic overclock. Anything over that chances are you're gonna put a waterblock on it anyway.

Safe is smart, and i have nothing against stock cooler. It seems ok, maybe fans could be a size larger or improved.
Isnt it 3 parties making the boards etc, they just get the chips from amd?
If thats the case, i dont see how amd is taking much of a risk to let asus (for example) trying to improve the cooler solution more. Being it smaller or larger, and water. I cant see asus making the product worse with their experience. It could also allow for some water solutions. Something i will highly consider in my next upgrade.
Maybe the chip is pushed to the limit, cooling is not the bottleneck. And there is not much point to it other than throw on some led's and calling it amd R7 excaliper Vll ULTRA gaming force 2, with aura lightning. Or what ever name they feel sells.. :p

Whats the reason for not allowing custom designs exactly? Its a weird decision, and do not want this to be the norm for the future... :\
Would like to see what this card could do under water, or a beastly air cooler.
Any info regarding when we will see the first reviews? Guessing this will be released before the card is available for us consumers, am i wrong to think that?
Anyways, iv got mixed feelings about this card when it comes for my use. The price is my main issue, and its just a updated design of a old architecture. Im a bit skeptical it can be called a 4k gpu, im not sure if the rtx 2080ti is a "real" 4k card. Currently the only card on the marked that is capable of giving the performance iv been waiting for. I just really dont wanna support nvidias pricing, and im tired of their shady tactics..
