This week you'll see a number of board partners release their custom Radeon RX 5700 graphics cards. We've already addressed quite a bit of them, and some new ones have surfaced. We now add the EVOKe... MSI Radeon RX 5700 Mech OC and Evoke Waves In Front of Camera
I just don't get what you don't like about that Evoke. It's absolutely unique as most AIB models are black(ish). I really like the colors.
Who looks at their card? I just shove it in, get the best drivers at the time of installation and judge it on its performance. You can keep your fluff and RGB nonsense. All that matters is frames.
It also looks to have a dual bios switch next to the power connectors. Ugly yes, but it does have a pretty high boost over reference.
The Evoke looks a lot like Sapphire's cards, with the shroud and fan design. Overall it'll be interesting to see how the different 3rd party cooler designs will perform but it seems unlikely the delta within that group will vary that much.
Those of us with side panel windows see our cards quite often. A lot of people with windowed side panels go for certain color schemes. For me, it's black and red. A gold colored cooler on a graphics card won't work.
