Your card, your design
AMD built its Radeon R9 Fury X graphics card with a removable front plate with the intention of letting customers design their own alternatives. To help do that, AMD has made available the 3D model for the Fury X's face plate so that owners of the graphics card can design their own 3D printed or CNC replacement.
The stock face plate uses multiple pieces of aluminum die cast finished in black nickel and a soft touch black layer. AMD says it's pleased with its design, though if you want to replace it, you just need to remove four screws, one in each corner, as shown in the picture above.
"During the process of creating the industrial design for the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X graphics card we encountered a variety of unique perspectives within AMD on how it should look. These differentiating opinions made us think, what if we could enable our customers to implement their own creativity on our design? To do this we incorporated a removable front plate on the AMD Radeon R9 Fury X graphics card to allow for customer creativity," AMD said.
AMD's also asking users to share their own creations, of which it will highlight its favorites.
