Message: [QUOTE="Munyaradzi Mafaro, post: 77019, member: 636"] AMD board partners just dropped their custom versions of the RDNA 4 professional cards with completely passive cooling setups, and the designs are pretty bare-bones across the board. PowerColor went with a plain black shroud on its Radeon AI PRO R9700S that does not even have branding, while Sapphire added some logos and accents to both the R9700S and R9600D models. ASRock decided to mix things up with grey heatsinks featuring white details instead of going full murdered-out. The R9700S cards stick to dual-slot designs with four DisplayPort 2.1a outputs, but the single-slot R9600D varies between manufacturers. Sapphire only put one video output on theirs, while ASRock equipped the same card with four ports. Everyone is using the 16-pin power connector even though these cards max out at 150 watts, which seems like overkill, but should be way safer than hooking up 600-watt gaming cards. [/QUOTE]
