i just bought the purple demon waifu variant of 6700 XT but yes its still has the waifu backplate thing.
Been so happy with it, ran just fine on my rig and played many games on it. The price actually gone down by a lot now (i live in Indonesia) and i pick them up for 320 converted to IDR. It also come with local warranty by supplier so thats freaking sweet. The only downside is probably if you don't like cute or weeb stuff this card probably not for you. Also if you live in the US or other Western side you probably only have International warranty, then it might be a little troublesome to get the warranty or replacement. But Yeston been around for a while, at least here in Asian market and their product is actually as uniqe and solid as their backplate and quirky design is so yeah im not disappointed on picking them up on discounted price.
oh also the thermal is waaay better than the older 5000 series design, it rarely goes above 75 degrees, and ambient temp is around 30 to 32 on daylight (tropical side yes).

On the aesthetics side, I am even against the flashiness of regular cards - I'd prefer less plastic, more metal and no LEDs. The design change I'd most highly advocate, though, is using regular case fans of common sizes (80/92/120 mm) rather than custom ultra-thin models, paired with an easily removable shroud to make replacement a breeze. Needless to say, I loved the ASUS Noctua models.
However, I adored the original (?) 580 Cute Pet. Functional with a very cute design. If I was putting together a gaming PC for my niece, that one would be VERY high on the list - even if she's currently in a no frills, all-black phase. Perhaps a bit higher because of that, honestly; I am not above trolling her and her brother.
This one is, as Steve notes, more cyberpunk-themed than cute in general. The girls on this and the Waifu edition are a bit off-putting, though. And the performance impact, compared to AMD's stock card, is unacceptable in this price class.

As for hotspot, I must note that I feel this hotspot is how RX7900xtx works. My Aorus Elite 7900xtx also keeps the GPU temp around 50-60C, while hotspot goes from 50 to 95C depending on the load. It simply feels like heat distribution in the die itself is very uneven or that GPU temp itself is averaging between main die and cache dies, or I donno...
Also, its said to see only 2 8pins. 7900xtx can make use of a lot more power. However looks like they have smaller cooler so they don't have thermal budget for it. It would be very cool if you could review large 3 8pins 3.5+ slot designs that can use 475W+ when set at +15% PL. They difference against a reference model should be noticeable.
So pleasepleaseplease review some GB Aorus Elite, Nitro+, XFX Merc or other card with max power level VBios.

Galax: You want graphics card lore? We have the DARK OBELISK!
Palit: We've got you beat with absolute dark power!
Gainward: Oh yeah? Our graphics card lore has the Night Barron, always watching! How's THAT for graphics card lore!
Powercolor (in demonic voice): You think you know graphics card lore? Our card has fans inspired by the Devil's Eye, a back plate inspired by the Devil's Home and lore about how the Devil himself inspired our cards! You may have cooped the darkness with your dark obelisk, ultimate dark power night baron stuff-but I was born in the darkness in the depths of HELL!
Yeston (comes in with a six pack of Tsingtao and slams it on the table): You want graphics card lore? Then you all can hold my beer.

yeston yet again comes through with what we need in hardware right now. no, not cheap 40 series cards, not an AM5 board that doesn't force expensive DDR5 onto you either but an updated revision of waifu cards with waifu lore
GN: shows Yeston's other card that seems to be inspired by Akame Ga Kill for 5 seconds (an actual anime series that exists)
me with enough alt accounts and demands to get it done: review the Akame Ga Kill card immediately
all seriousness though Steve's already been saying it, Yeston has mostly been good at cards that preform virtually the same as the rest of the market just sold on looks

gamers nexus, why is fan shroud mentioned as negative? i think you are wrong, it helps to push air deeper to card, not just to let it out from side with minimum travel distance and ,,heat soaking,, from fins. Can you make thermal measurement of it? with no shroud, fans slapped on fins, half covered heatsink, and 3/4 covered heatsink. You can easily do it with old P4 coolers that are tall. its like 1-2h test, with preparation and thermal probe installation, and one duct tape to cover sides of some cooler

ever since I heard about this card I was hoping you'd review it, but at least good to know its not as bad as their previous cards (which I remember you saying was even louder than the any other cards you reviewed) and the looks is just something else. I heard you can actually change the sakura logo at the front with a custom printed one and I think it has way more potential to be customized. Also not sure if Yeston will send you the 4080 version, would like to see that review as well.

I've always been drawn by things like Gigabyte's VISION series because of how non-gamer it looked. Yeston continues to impress me with their color palettes and I may genuinely considering grabbing one of their cards when I need an upgrade. Pastels are a super unique and underutilized color pallete in computer hardware imo and I'm all for seeing more! Between this and Chi-Fi IEMs having waifus, I'm interested to see how much the idea expands.

Steve, please help me. I need to go to bed and 15 minutes I've sat here trying to figure out the joke. When would my Uber driver be able to see my PC? Why would they be inside of my house? Also, what exactly was the 'burn' he implied? Is he accusing us of. . . having food delivered? Steve, please. . .please help. Also, yes you should roast us, but don't drill holes in us. We're not a Corsair case.

I appreciate unique designs for computer hardware :) May as well increase the changes of someone getting their card so to speak. One that speaks to them.
I would be interested to see more products out there like this just to hear your thoughts on them they don't have to be especially good or bad to be interesting!

I have the Yeston 3080 10GB. All I can say is it does its job. I just got it because it was cheap an reviewed well enough. I got it for essentially 670 through Newegg at the end of last year (they were giving 150 Newegg gift cards with purchases at the time with the card).

Great video. I'd have liked to see you attempt to fix that hot spot temp delta. Some longer screws with springs for the retention bracket, or perhaps just a replacement retention bracket. Even if it fails, at least it'd give the consumer some idea of what might or won't work.

I couldn't really care for the lore/waifu stuff, but do actually love the looks of it and would pick this over over a reference model just for that, the colour scheme adds so much to a build, it's disappointing other companies still think gloomy/bland is what we want...

This reminds me of a pc I wanted to get, or make but feel too lazy to do it just like them.
It was custom pc built with Belle Delphine pictures and her bottle as a coolant. Even though I have two PC's that are remotely opposite, I'll trade my oldest one for it.

Yeston is a great example of a company that I will never buy from, but I have the utmost respect for. They know their audience, they market and design accordingly. I'm not their market.
Separate thought, Gamers Nexus body pillow when?
