The Vega Frontier Liquid variant has been spotted on SabrePC at $1490. Considering that the card is currently in stock, any newly placed order will take less than 24 hours to ship. Also, now that it is finally available, we can expect the first hands-on reviews of Frontier Liquid very soon.
In terms of specs, the Vega Frontier Liquid is identical to the air-cooled variant. The only major difference is that the water-cooled variant boasts a higher board power at 375W (+75W). A higher board power means the new card probably comes with a considerably higher clock speed – perhaps somewhere around the advertised peak clock of 1600 MHz.
No doubt, Vega Frontier Liquid is going to be a pretty solid indicator of what consumers could potentially expect from RX Vega XTX, which is also believed to a card with liquid-cooling.
