RX6000 Series
Position: Lead Designer
Client: XFX
We designed the best looking graphics card of its generation…again. This time, it was also the fastest.
Building off the design language of the 5000-series, we refined the form, improved cooling and added brand-centric lighting elements. Despite being the smallest AMD-based board partner, my designs allowed them to compete with multi-billion dollar companies, like Asus and Nvidia.
Switching to a one-piece aluminum backplate opened up the design
It simplified the end compared to the previous generation and improved ventilation dramatically. It also allowed us to apply the design budget towards more consistent use of the satin chrome trim pieces that have been part of XFX’s design language since the R9-series.
“I just want to share my excitement for this card in particular… I've set my aim on the XFX Merc 319… The new card imo is the best looking card to come out this year…
I am dead set on getting this card in particular, I don't even chase anything else. If someone were to give me a 3080 I'd sell it to get the XFX Merc. The recent video by JTC just hyped me up even more.”
