Hm... I wonder if they'll get into a Trademark bout with Sapphire over the use of "Nitro".

That's a great question. Acer's Nitro branding has largely been used with their monitors so there was little possibility of confusion. Now that Acer has started making graphics cards with that same branding it can cause confusion between Sapphire's products and Acer's products because its within the same category of product. Only time will tell. I would assume Sapphire would have the edge if litigation should occur because I believe their Nitro branding came first with regards to graphics cards and in general. Sapphire is also mainly known for their graphics cards where as Acer is a new player in the graphics cards segment.

Huh. The Nitro RX 7600XT looks like it might actually be a true 2-slot design that ALSO doesn't stick too far up beyond the PCIe bracket. I know that larger fans allow for more airflow at lower volume, but I'm not a fan of these plastic extensions that stick way beyond the actual edge of the card, some of which barely even house fins.

More interesting is that when looking up RX 7600 sizes I came across a "Predator BiFrost RX 7600 OC" that has what appears to be a similar cooler to the Acer Arc A750. I know blower style coolers aren't popular anymore, but I've always liked the way they dump heat outside the case and that I can install something like a wifi card or a NIC immediately below my GPU without blocking the fans, and if they do a RX 7600XT with that cooler (or even the A770 version!) that could be kinda cool.

The 7700XT and up don't look like they really bring anything new to the party in terms of size or price or performance, though.
