The Radeon RX 6700 XT Hellhound Unchained by PowerColor

Renders of one of PowerColor’s latest Hellhound series graphics cards have just been leaked by VideoCardz. The Radeon RX 6700 XT Hellhound is built on AMD’s new Radeon RX 6700 XT and is designed to compete with the best graphics cards on the market.

PowerColor is experimenting with a black and blue theme for the Radeon RX 6700 XT Hellhound. The graphics card comes with a dual-slot black cooler with translucent fan blades with a trio of cooling fans. PowerColor went so far as to paint the bracket black, which is a pleasant touch on the vendor’s part.

The cooling fans have blue lighting, but it’s unclear whether or not the RGB palette will be available. A full-cover backplate with the updated Hellhound logo is also included with the Radeon RX 6700 XT Hellhound. The backplate’s cutout can aid in heat dissipation.

The Radeon RX 6700 XT Hellhound’s clock speeds are still undisclosed. Given the Hellhound series’ tier, it should have lower operating clocks than PowerColor’s other higher-tier graphics cards, such as the Liquid Devil, Red Devil, or Red Dragon series.

Since the PCIe power connector configuration varies from AMD’s reference design, the Radeon RX 6700 XT Hellhound may be using a custom PCB. One 6-pin and one 8-pin PCIe power connector are used by the standard Radeon RX 6700 XT. On the other side, the Radeon RX 6700 XT Hellhound uses two 8-pin PCIe power connectors, implying a solid factory overclock.

The display outputs on the Radeon RX 6700 XT Hellhound, on the other hand, are similar to the reference design. One HDMI 2.1 port and three DisplayPort 1.4a outputs with DSC support are available.

The Radeon RX 6700 XT will be officially unveiled on March 18, so pricing for the Radeon RX 6700 XT Hellhound should be available soon. The Radeon RX 6700 XT, for example, will cost $479. Given the amount of customization available on the Radeon RX 6700 XT Hellhound, it’ll almost certainly cost a little more.
