AMD Waifu GPU: Yeston RX 6700 XT Sakura Review & Tear-Down
22,679We needed a pick-me-up after reviewing prebuilts, so we're looking at a unique video card design for the RX 6700 XT: It's the Yeston Sakura, and it might be apt to call it a "waifu" card.

As usual, the GPU itself is all from a supplier -- AMD, in this instance -- so the board partner (Yeston) doesn't have too much influence on the gaming performance unless things are done very poorly. For board partner reviews, we're much more interested in thermals, noise, build quality, and overall assembly. The Yeston Sakura is shockingly "real," despite being something of an obviously low-hanging fruit of a meme. In the current market, you even have built-in excuses to buy it. The front of the card, to its credit, is designed well and has custom molding, good color matching, and an overall unique spin that isn't found in the more common "gamer-themed" products.
