Hellhound from heaven
Today PowerColor is introducing its first full white Radeon graphics card.
PowerColor RX 6700 XT Hellhound Spectral White is a new variant of the black Hellhound that was released back in March. The Spectral White is probably the whitest graphics card we have seen so far.
The popularity of white graphics cards is certainly growing, as more and more brands are noticing that gamers want something different. After numerous attempts to differentiate their designs from other brands, we are observing a trend where most cards end up being black and silver with optional RGB lighting that serves as a differentiator. At the same time, a new trend is emerging where some cards are being relaunched in a new white color design. Manufacturers tend to just replace the cooler shroud and backplate, which is certainly an easy and cheap thing to do. Only a few brands offer white PCB designs, which are of course more expensive to make as they require a separate production line.
The PowerColor RX 6700 XT Hellhound Spectral White is one of those premium designs that ticks all the ‘white’ boxes.
The Spectral White features the same triple-fan cooling solution as the original. It is equipped with dual 100m fans and a single 90mm fan in the middle. The card features an 8+2 phase VRM design and is powered by dual 8-pin power connectors. There appears to be a lighting effect around the translucent fans, but unlike ‘black Hellound’ which had a blue lighting effect, this model will lit up in white (the LED can be turned off with a physical switch).

The graphics card will be officially launched later today.
